iRacing published the 2024 Season 1 build video overview showcasing the new content and upgrades included in the latest release.
iRacing added one new car, the Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3, a brand new Oval in teh form of the Slinger Speedway (Oval, and Figure Eight), and the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello (Grand Prix, and Short) road racing track. Furthermore, the update also introduced a complete rebuild of the Okayama International Circuit (Full Course, and Short), using 2023 scan data.
The 2024 Season 1 includes Phase 1 of the Oval Refresh Project. You will find more realistic track grip levels as they relate to surface temperature throughout the course of a race. With this release, iRacing is pioneering new 3D curb technology at Mugello and Okayama, which should provide drivers with the most realistic track-edge experience to date – every curb bump of any type and size is now fully modeled for tire interaction. Mother Nature has sprouted with the 3D Foliage System at three additional beloved tracks and the system has been further optimized for look and feel.
The New Damage Model comes enabled on the new Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3, and it has been added to a whopping seventeen more car models, including nearly every Asphalt Oval car we have! Our AI wranglers have approved both the Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3 and HPD ARX-01c to report for competitive duty, and have unlocked eight new track configs for racing. The iRacing vehicle dynamics team has tested every single car, top-to-bottom, and has supplied you with hundreds of fully optimized new vehicle setups.
