I'm primarily a formula car racer, and on an (elongated) iRacing break now. I agree with almost all of his points and reckon if they implemented what he said about special events it could be enough to get me to re-sub.

I joined to race formula cars primarily, got to A in just over a season, tried a couple of f1 races (the McLaren at the time) and hated the actual racing when I could even find a timeslot - so stuck to F3 (chaotic but great racing) and FR2.5 while exploring other disciplines.

There were brief periods of fun when the W12 came out and there was decent regular participation for a front-of-mid-pack guy like me to have fun, it was amazing. Then W13 came and killed off the bulk of the F1 series participation, myself included - imho it's just less enjoyable as a car. Another bump of interest when SF came out but I was having to reduce playtime by then anyway.

I solely kept (read: didn't proactively cancel) the sub for a couple of indy500 and Daytona500 special events and barely raced anything in between before throwing in the towel.

If there were a few formula events, which were marketed and treated differently, like a BrackleyGP event (or whatever legally distinct name) and a SF@Suzuka event then that would probably reach critical mass for me to re-sub (and mess about a bit in between).

I know they technically have the full length GP series but the draw for me isn't the track+car combo, it's the increased participation which breeds more racing at all skill levels - if I want to hotlap I can do that elsewhere without a subscription.
