Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
iRacing published the 2024 Season 2 build video overview showcasing the new content and upgrades included in the latest release.
Rain and the Tempest Weather system has arrived, alongside multiple new product features, an improved UI, new content, and a big list of updates and fixes. Tempest, iRacing’s brand-new weather system that allows for rain racing, is fully operational and ready to manage the meteorological simulation demands of iRacing.
The Road License Type is being split into Sports Car License Type and Formula License Type to provide separate competition ladders for drivers and to improve participation, competition, and matchmaking. We’ve added a fun New Driver Onboarding Experience that will help all new customers get onto the track immediately, set up their controls, get them racing with AI Drivers, and provide instructions and a guide for their next steps. We’ve also refreshed the look and feel of iRacing to improve navigation.
Three new cars have been added to the iRacing paddock, including the Dirt Micro Sprint (2 models), SRX, and Super Formula Lights. Three new tracks have also been constructed for iRacing: Algarve International Circuit (4 configs), Millbridge Speedway, and Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli (5 configs). A new configuration has also been added to Kokomo Speedway (Tires Out) to provide a different racing line, and a new configuration has been added to Lime Rock Park (School) as part of a new educational experience.
Additionally, several pieces of content have been added to the iRacing base package, making them free for all iRacing members, including Dirt Micro Sprint, Circuit de Lédenon, Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, Snetterton Circuit, and Winton Motor Raceway.
