Alongside the 2024 Season 2 release, iRacing will add four road courses to the iRacing base package, including the Circuit de Lédenon, Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, Snetterton Circuit, and Winton Motor Raceway. The tracks will be available for free to all iRacing users with an active subscription for use in all modes of play.
Circuit de Lédenon
Breaking ground in 1970 and opening three years later, Circuit de Lédenon is one of France’s most unique and challenging race circuits. Measuring in at 1.958 miles (3.151 km), the track manages to pack 13 varied corners and plenty of altitude changes into a relatively small space. It also differs from most other major tracks in France in that it runs counterclockwise. The track had played host to French Formula 4 regularly since 2011, and also hosts national GT races.
Motorsport Arena Oschersleben
Germany’s Motorsport Arena Oschersleben became the fourth permanent racing facility to open in Germany when its doors first opened in 1997. A longtime host of FIA GT, DTM, and international touring car events, it will welcome the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series for the first time in 2023 and currently serves as the host of the FIM Sidecar World Championship for motorcycles.
Snetterton Circuit
Located in Norfolk, UK, Snetterton Circuit was first opened in 1951. Built on a former WWII RAF airfield, the original circuit was constructed on the old runways and taxi ways left but the track has undergone many renovations and upgrade with the most significant changes having been completed in 2011.
Winton Motor Raceway
Opened in 1961, Winton Motor Raceway has earned the nickname of “Australia’s Action Track” for six decades of intense and exciting competition. What is now known as its Club Circuit, a 2.028-kilometer (1.260-mile), 10-turn layout, has been described as “like running a marathon around your clothesline” by Australian motorsport legend Dick Johnson. In 1985, the track first welcomed the Australian Touring Car Championship for the Winton Super Sprint and has been a frequent stop for the country’s premier tin-top series in its various forms. In 1997, the track received an extension to 1.864 miles, creating the National Circuit.
