The iRacing Formula Renault 2.0 will be available this March

With this small video trailer, iRacing has officially confirmed that the Formula Renault 2.0 model will be available on the online racing service together with the next build this March. Besides the Formula Renault 2.0, iRacing also licenced the Formula Renault 3.5 model which will become available in the near future.

The single seat Formula Renault 2.0 class is aimed at young drivers who are just discovering the workings of a real race car and acts as a stepping stone to the more advanced racing series such as Formula 3, World Series by Renault 3.5, GP2 and ultimately Formula One. On the iRacing platform, the Formula Renault’s will be used for the exact same purpose, creating a class ladder for sim racers to climb.

As you might have guessed from the name, the car is powered by a 2.0-liter engine that delivers 205bhp. This small 16-valve four-cylinder F4R832 unit originated from the Clio Renault Sport MkII and is fitted with a seven-speed sequential gearbox.

Besides the Formula Renault 2.0 and 3.5 single-seaters, iRacing has more exciting releases in the pipeline such as the Aston Martin V12 Vantage and 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT. While no exact release dates have been given, we expect to see all announced models to be released by the end of the year.
