iRacing has deployed its 2024 Season 4 build, introducing a new updated version of the famous Belgian Spa-Francorchamps circuit, bringing the in-game version of the track up to specs with its real-world counterpart.
Using a new 2024 laser scan, the development team has rebuilt the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps track from the ground up. The new version includes all of the new improvements to the facility, resurfaced roads, and the significant changes made from La Source through Eau Rouge and Raidillon and elsewhere.
All drivable surfaces have been remodeled and the track art has been rebuilt from scratch, as well as any new structures or buildings. Where appropriate, existing objects from the original have been rebuilt or upgraded to PBR materials.
Furthermore, the new 2024 laser scan version of Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps adds four new track configurations to the existing track, including Grand Prix Pits, Classic Pits, Endurance, and Bike.
The original track configurations for Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps have been post-pended with “2010”, denoting their laser scan data year. Last but not least, Night Lighting is now fully enabled.
Check out the new update in all its glory.
Spa-Francorchamps
The legendary Belgian Spa Francorchamps is a racing venue situated smack in the middle of the Belgian Ardennes forests. The Spa Francorchamps circuit hosted its first F1 Grand Prix in 1925. The original 14.9 racing circuit made up of public roads was notoriously dangerous.
The present version of the circuit is 7.004 km (4.352 mi) long and with its 20 turns and high-speed straight’s the track is the favorite of many racing drivers and Motorsports fans all over the world. The circuit is the home of the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix, WEC 1000 km of Spa, ELMS – 4 Hours of Spa, the Spa Classic, the famous Total 24 Hours of Spa, and many more.
The most notorious set of corners are without a doubt the sweeping Eau Rouge/Raidillon combination. This steeply uphill high-speed corner section is what many drivers call the ultimate rush when racing on the track. The Kemmel straight is one of the longest full-throttle sections in the Formula One championship.
