Ran a couple races last night and one this morning (luckily they were clean for the most part). Now the site is down again. I'm a B 3.94 and am SO close to fast tracking to A. Didn't think this would be so frustrating, but then again it's Iracing and it's supposed to be I guess!  |

iRacing is down again. I understand that technical issues happen, but this is getting ridiculous, particularly when you factor in how much we pay for this service.  |

iRacing is down again. I understand that technical issues happen, but this is getting ridiculous, particularly when you factor in how much we pay for this service. A few months ago I totalled what I'd spent on iRacing... it is ridiculous that I can't even practice offline. To be fair though, we don't know why they're down. A few of the P2P sites I use were DDOSed this week and I've learned a bunch about how easy that can happen now. All it takes is some pissed off Timmy that gets his iRacing account suspended. For not much money Timmy can rent servers in China for a few hours that will completely cripple a website. |

Its back up again. My daughter fell asleep and so I am going to see if I can slip in a Class C Fixed truck race before I take the kids to the park.

Post from iRacing staff: We apologize for the recent outages. We are working diligently to correct the issues. We've had a number issues that on their own, weren't issues, but in concert, behaved very badly. We are making headway, and we are trying to track them all down. One of the issues was database related. We identified some poor query execution plans. We continue to investigate instability in the web tier. We are very sorry and we continue to work around the clock on these issues. members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/watch/0/2556316.page |

Just checked and it appears to be down again. Hopefully they will get things sorted out so this won't happen again in the future. Good to know they are working on it.

Well this sucks.  I just get back from my week away, having serious iRacing withdrawls and its down for maintenance.  Spent some time with the wife, she said I could leave her alone for a few hours so I thought I could get in a race or 2. Haven't done any races for this week, I guess this will have to be one of my drop weeks. |

Looks like it just went down again. I can't race at work (yet), but I do like to get on iRacing and plan out my racing while at work. I was checking out the tracks for the next week and got the DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE page.

I think its pretty normal for it to be down an hour or two before the new week starts. We have about two hours to go, then it changes over, usually at 4pm PST, 00:00 GMT.

Damn, it's down again. I just said goodbye to my wife who is going to the movies with her friends. So I get in my racing cockpit ready for a few hours of racing and all I get is HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. This crap is starting to get old. 2 weekends in a row now.
