Recently, iRacing deployed their 2023 Season 1 build introducing a huge list of new content, including the virtual version of the French Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, and the Lincoln Speedway PA Dirt Oval.
Besides the brand new tracks, iRacing also updated its popular Sebring International Raceway version with a full artwork overhaul, including new surface bumpmaps, models, textures, and terrain.
Sebring International Raceway is a road course auto racing facility in the southeastern United States, located near Sebring, Florida.
Laid out on the runways of a World War II air base and the adjacent roadways, Sebring International Raceway is the oldest permanent road-racing circuit in the United States. It hosted its first race on New Year’s Eve, 1950, a six-hour handicap event won by a diminutive Crosley Hotshot two-seat roadster.
The first “12-Hour Grand Prix of Endurance” was held two years later, and for several years Sebring was the site of America’s only real international races. In 1959 Sebring was the site of the first United States Grand Prix before the event found a permanent home at Watkins Glen. For nearly 60 years the world’s top racers have competed for victory at this storied track nestled in central Florida’s orange groves.
Sebring International Raceway consists of three tracks: the Full Circuit, the Short Circuit, and the Club Circuit. The course of the track itself is 3.74 miles (6.02 km) long. It is a seventeen-turn road course with long straights, several high-speed corners, and very technical slower corners. Many of the turns and points along the track are named for the early teams and drivers. Due to Florida’s flat nature, there is very little elevation change around the track and little camber on the surface, providing a challenging track for drivers, especially when it rains.
