Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Greg Hill, Senior VP and Executive Producer at iRacing covers the Season 4 build and future development updates.
Highlights:
- BMW M4 G82 GT4: BMW’s latest M4 GT4 has been a world-beater for the past two years, and it joins our GT4 grid in a multi-class series. F82 GT4 owners who have recently purchased the car will receive credit compensation, but the F82 variant will still be supported as part of the Production Car Challenge.
- McLaren 720S GT3 EVO: Our newest GT3 build is the car of choice for Pfaff Motorsports in IMSA’s GTD Pro class, as well as a popular pick the world over. MP4-12C GT3 owners who have recently purchased the car will receive credit compensation.
- Mini Stock and Dirt Mini Stock: This sporty new oval car comes FREE with your iRacing subscription. It features a 2.3-liter engine producing upwards of 200 horsepower, and it’s been built for both paved and dirt oval racing.
- Cadwell Park Circuit: One of England’s most prominent motorcycle and smaller four-wheel racing tracks, Cadwell offers four unique configurations. Be sure to try it out this Week 13 with the Legends car!
- Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps: We’ve rescanned Spa for 2024, with four all-new configurations. If you already own the old version of Spa, you’ll get the new versions for FREE; if you’re buying Spa for the first time, you’ll get the old scan, too!
- Circuit Zolder: We’ve got a fresh art update for Zolder for this season, bringing it up to our current visual standards.
- Rain Racing: Along with the M4 G82 GT4, the TCR class, Ford Mustang FR500S, and Renault Clio have all been rain-enabled for the new season. In addition, we’ve added a spotty rain option for timeline weather mode when building a race session, which will simulate more scattered showers.
- AI Racing: New for this season, you’ll have the ability to launch an AI session from an Official session with AI-enabled cars to get in some practice before joining an online multiplayer race. Also joining the AI-enabled roster are the new paved cars and all configurations for Cadwell and the Spa re-scan.
- New Multi-Class Official Series Distributed Splits Algorithm: This new algorithm, in use for selected series, will improve manufacturer diversity while also maintaining optimal competitive grouping, creating more realistic-looking grids.
- Tire Pre-Conditioning: For standing starts, cars will have pre-warmed tires and brakes from a simulated parade lap, allowing for a better start experience.
- Natural Clutch Variance: A small natural bite variance will create minuscule natural variations and a more realistic experience.
- New Environment Sounds Audio Codec: Our new audio codec requires less storage space while maintaining high quality, giving you the same audio quality you expect with a smaller overall file size.
- Shared Lone Qualify Replay: You’ll now be able to watch all other drivers’ qualifying laps in your replays.
