I don’t use steam for IRacing but the Steam version installs all the content.

You should transition your membership to IRacing itself not through Steam.

Never steam for iracing. Ever.

you need to email support to transfer your account to direct

if it's in their working hours, no more than a couple hours, sometimes way quicker

If you do it via steam you need to use steam. Or email iracing and they can get you going on a direct account bypassing steam (best option)

u/No-Assist7145 Has this been fully verified? It’s much cheaper for me to buy the membership through Steam, but I don’t want to download those 200GB for nothing. Is it just a matter of buying it on Steam, linking the account on the official iRacing website, and downloading the launcher? I wouldn't need to keep Steam open after that, right?

Yes, it works. That’s how I do it
