Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
iRacing has just deployed the 2021 Season 1 build for the online racing service. This new update was one of the biggest yet, and contained a healthy number of new content and features.
One of the most noticeable items in the new content list is without a doubt the new Dallara iR-01 open-wheeler car. In strong contrast to the usual vehicle content representing cars from the real world, the Dallara iR-01 is a fictional virtual open wheeler, developed by iRacing in partnership with the famous Italian Dallara Automobili racing car manufacturer. The car represents a modern 3.0-liter V10 powered formula spec racer that can deliver up to 900 Bhp.
iRacing and Dallara began work on the Dallara iR-01 in May 2020, engineering a car that is ready to race in the real world but will make its debut in the virtual one. Featuring a lightweight chassis of only 600 kg, its naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V10 engine can produce more than 900 horsepower. With limited electronics onboard and a fully decoupled suspension, the new car will prove easy for new drivers to pick up and fun to race, but difficult to master.
In order to help members getting the most out of the new open wheeler, iRacing created a detailed user manual, explaining the iR-01 chassis setup adjustments available in the garage.
