i think I'll just buy the buggy chassis and race free. Bit steep for me too.

- No more subscription - You get everything in the game (tracks, cars, accessories, motors, ESCs etc) - You get everything in the game now and in the future I go through phases with VRC, sometimes I play it all the time (many years ago - 2005!), sometimes I hardly play at all (got kids now), but I know I'll come back to it. So I bought it knowing I'll be back, and that long-term it makes sense, and will work out far cheaper than continually renewing my subscription every year or so. |

I believe you still get all tracks cars etc with monthly subscriptions also.. When it is up it goes back to free to play with limitations..

118th after my 3 attempts on the free 'worlds' race going on at the moment. Pretty lousy TBH.
Really like the game but wow it's difficult to see what the car's doing on that IRC track! Really struggle with the furthest corners but don't like the zoom in view as i want to see more of the track.

there is a feature called velocity zoom. I found it really helps. Basically zooms in when car is further away and/or slow moving.

Is anyone doing the short course series? I tried the nitro buggies but much prefer the electric classes. Think I need to invest in some better hardware, sick of the video card out of memory messages! |

I only have the free membership plus a few extra tracks, bits and bobs. I regularly do the weekly SCT events and I'm often up in the top 25% of the club section. Shame I can't do the same with the "real" buggy, I'm usually in the bottom 25% of that. I must get better one day!

I still can't get the 1/8th buggies to handle ANYTHING like a real buggy, simply no rear stability AT ALL.
Thanks for everybody who has tried to help, begining to think there is something serious I am missing and / or that the game physics are hugely wide of the mark. Currently considering it a waste of the £40 upgrade fee. On another note last night was the first time in about 2 weeks I had chance to use VRC, started it up and it took about 12 mins checking and updating then told me it needed to restart the program and took another 10-12 mins. Is that normal? Seriously frustrating when I only get the occassional half hour slot to use it and I spend most of that waiting for it to load then the remainder with the buggy facing in the wrong direction due to a rear end seemingly not attached to the front!!! |

It does take a while to start up. I'm running on a laptop which is scraping the minimum requirements and it is frustrating sometimes with the staggered playback and reduced fps rate. If I had the money I'd invest in some serious hardware to play it |

Which package???
I essentially wanna get in some practice - full stop the end, and I don't want to keep spending cash. What is the best value for money VRC PRO package. I ask this coz I am getting back to my racing, and have used VRC to get my fingers dialled back in - I must say that the 1/12 carpet/pan cars are very realistic indeed
BTW - it is 1.8 nitro I want to try out - |

http://www.vrcworld.com/eshop/product.aspx?90 You also need to add the buggy pack http://www.vrcworld.com/eshop/product.aspx?101 And you will need the usb adapter if you don't already have one http://www.vrcworld.com/eshop/product.aspx?48 If you also want to race the short course mod trucks you will need the off road expansion pack instead of the buggy pack. Having said all this, if you can make do with SC electric trucks, you can race the 13.5t truck class for free. I tried the 1/8th buggys and I'm not getting to grips with the engine response, much prefer the electric off road. You also get some tracks free so maybe check this option out before you pay the money. |

sorry for being a foolish luddite
In order to do 1/8 buggy's I cannot just get the buggy expansion pack then?

I only started doing VRC a few weeks ago and already i've noticed an improvement in my real life RC driving.
However on the larger tracks and when there are a lot of cars on the screen my frame rate drops to the point where it's not really enjoyable to play. Turning off the v-sync and reducing the anti aliasing seems to help but again it reduces the quality of the gameplay so I think maybe my PC needs upgrading to get the best out of it. I'm a bit rubbish with computers and have no idea where to start with this, can someone help? |

Try disabling other features
try disabling features on the game that are not essential to the gameplay
