Super Late Model Coming to iRacing?
by Raymond Kingsbury on March 13th, 2013
Last night on the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship broadcast it was revealed that a Super Late Model would be coming to iRacing. Super Late Models are the staple of paved short tracks across America with around 70% of all NASCAR-sanctioned tracks running a SLM series as their premier series. At the moment no one knows if we will see a simple adaptation of the current Late Model, or if we will see an entirely new model that is more or less similar to the dirt late model body, with a longer body, a Plexiglas spoiler, and a flatter hood and rear deck-lid. What we have heard rumours about however is that the iRacing team has arranged a meeting to possibly scan the car into the simulation. But, we have [...]
Bathurst Coming to iRacing!
by David Phillips on June 1st, 2012
Mount Panorama, renowned home of the Bathurst 12 Hour and Bathurst 1000, is coming to iRacing.com. The world’s foremost online motorsports simulation service today announced it has reached an agreement with the Bathurst Regional Council to build a digital version of the spectacular 4 mile (6.213 km) Australian road course. “This is great news for iRacing and our 35,000 members,” says Steve Myers, iRacing.com executive vice president and executive producer. “Mount Panorama certainly is one of the world’s most spectacular race tracks; one of the few remaining circuits that uses public roads. Its big elevation changes, huge straightaways and endless variety of corners make for a supreme challenge for drivers and their machines. “Everyone at iRacing is anticipating the challenge of creating a digital version of Mount Panorama that does [...]

Rookie Oval Series Change in Season 2, Track Added to Base Content
by David Phillips on March 7th, 2012
Legends/Street Stock Swap Places; USA Speedway Joins List of Free Tracks In the real world, many oval racers start and enjoy long careers racin’ and rubbin’ on short ovals. There are many reasons for this including safety and financial considerations, not to mention a driver’s proximity to short tracks. iRacing has historically followed that progression from Rookie license class on short tracks all the way up to the Pro and World Championship license class. That is about to change, beginning in 2012 Season 2. Because the existing Ford Legends car is not suited for larger tracks, iRacing plans to move that series to the Advanced Rookie Level for 2012 Season 2, replacing it with the JR Motorsport Street Stock car at the Rookie License level. As always, all the cars [...]

by David Phillips on August 2nd, 2011
iRacing.com and V8 Supercars announced an agreement today that will see the organizers of the successful V8 Supercar Championship officially sanction the popular online racing service’s V8 Supercar series, which will be known as the iRacing.com V8 Supercars Series presented by BigPond. V8 Supercars thus joins NASCAR, INDYCAR and GRAND-AM as partners in sanctioning competition on the iRacing service. “As the world’s leading online racing service, it’s both appropriate and gratifying to announce our first international sanctioning partner,” said Steve Myers, executive vice president of iRacing.com. “Many of our most enthusiastic members hail from Australia and New Zealand, and iRacing is proud to be associated with V8 Supercars. “Our NASCAR-, INDYCAR- and GRAND-AM-sanctioned series have introduced new fans to NASCAR, INDYCAR and GRAND-AM and, of course, have been instrumental in [...]
iRacing, McLaren Electronic Systems Partner in Online Racing Data Analysis
by Kevin Bobbitt on May 5th, 2011
iRacing.com, the world’s leading online motorsports simulation service, announced today it is partnering with McLaren Electronic Systems to incorporate the ATLAS Express data analysis software into its system. As a result, iRacing’s more than 25,000 members will now have access to similar data acquisition and telemetry software used on every car competing in the FIA Formula One World Championship since 2008 and on NASCAR’s standard ECU (engine control unit) in 2012. In addition to affording its members unprecedented opportunities to increase their understanding of their virtual race cars’ performance with ATLAS Express, iRacing is also releasing an upgraded application program interface (API) that will dramatically enhance the service’s compatibility with an array of external features including motion platforms and external displays. “With the new iRacing telemetry capability, our members will [...]
iRacing.com Teams-up with JR Motorsports to Announce iRacing 2.0
by Kevin Bobbitt on May 3rd, 2011
The JR Motorsports No.7 Chevrolet, driven by Josh Wise, will race under iRacing.com colors in two NASCAR Nationwide Series events this summer in support of the all-new iRacing 2.0, the popular online racing service’s dramatic new software release. This long awaited release will add many user enhancements and features to the popular online, multi-player racing title and will once again set the bar as the premier racing simulation on the market. Wise’s No. 7 Chevrolet will don the iRacing 2.0 paint scheme in back-to-back races at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis and Iowa Speedway later this summer. This is doubly significant as iRacing.com has just signed agreements with both venues to build the facilities to exacting detail within the simulation. Wise will debut the No. 7 iRacing.com car during the [...]
Le Mans-Winning HPD ARX-01c LMP2 Coming to iRacing

Construction of Virtual Version of Honda Performance Development’s High-Tech Sports Prototype Is Underway; Members of World’s Premier Racing Game Anticipate Ultra-High Performance Racer First the car won its class at the Le Mans 24-hour race in June, 2010; then less than four months later the HPD ARX-01c LMP2 capped a championship-winning campaign in the American Le Mans Series by Highcroft Racing with victory in the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta.

Legends, Lost and Found
by Ray Bryden on March 5th, 2011
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to be in Paris in the early 1920′s and by chance wind up at a party at 27 Rue De Fleurus suddenly in the company of Hemingway, Picasso, Matisse, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and the rest of the artists, writers, and poets who socialized together and were known as the “Lost Generation.” Or to find oneself on the ‘Festival Express’ train traveling across the Canadian prairies in 1970 listening to hours of jam sessions with The Band, The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin. In my line of work, I had a few opportunities at conferences to rub elbows with the legends of my narrow field of expertise; people from across the globe who stand out as the world’s leaders in my [...]
iRacing.com World Championship Series Road Racing Preview
February 24th, 2011
What The Pundits Say . . . This coming weekend witnesses the opening round of the second iRacing.com World Championship Series Road Racing (iWCSRR) from Spa-Francorchamps, with a 40-plus field of Williams-Toyota FW31s scheduled to appear on the starting grid for Saturday’s race. The appearance of the likes of Greger Huttu, Richard Towler, Ilkka Haapala and Luca Masier are certain to fill the season ahead with real drama and excitement, along with plenty of virtual blood, guts and tears (virtual and otherwise); but who will come out top of the pile is anyone’s guess. In a hope of giving a better insight to the season ahead, we canvassed the eyes and ears (and voice) of the iRacing World Championships on their predictions for the racing year ahead. David Phillips – [...]
New year – New Series – Fresh new car smell
by Ryan Terpstra on January 28th, 2011
The new VW Jetta TDI and Mazda MX-5 mixed class series (officially known as the iRacing Grand Touring Cup) really does have that new car smell right now. The response has been overwhelmingly positive to the announcement that the MX-5 will be paired with the VW Jetta TDI in a mixed class series starting with Season One of 2011. The release of the MX-5 may have been slightly overshadowed by the release of the Williams-Toyota FW31, but the participation numbers in the rookie series clearly showed the MX-5 was popular amongst drivers and it left many wanting a full series with open setups. In typical iRacing fashion Steve Myers and the iRacing administration did something not enough companies do in today’s economy: they listened to the feedback from the community. [...]
Towler Honored at NASCAR Sprint Cup Finale
November 25th, 2010

NASCAR managing director Blake Davidson looks on. The presentation to NASCAR’s first virtual racing champion took place at the NASCAR Sprint Cup finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, just prior to the start of the Ford 400. Towler, of Hull, England, won four times – at Bristol Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Michigan International Speedway and Richmond International Raceway – on his way to a hard-fought 18-race championship over a field of 50 of the best virtual racers and racing gamers in the world. Earnhardt, a regular in the series, won the online season-opener at Daytona [...]

Online Racing a Featured Attraction at NASCAR Hall of Fame
by David Phillips on May 5th, 2010
The 15 iRacing.com-powered NASCAR stock car simulators proved to be a popular attraction yesterday during a media preview of the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina. More than 100 journalists took the opportunity to take some virtual laps of Charlotte Motor Speedway in one of the seven two-seat NASCAR stock car replicas, along with a 15th simulator in an ADA stock car. In addition, journalists were able to run sample qualifying sessions with a separate group of more basic online racing simulators. The NASCAR Hall of Fame’s customized version of the iRacing.com software permits the scheduling and broadcast of races on a giant 50-foot overhead video screen. The software also enables the exhibit administrator to specify aspects of the visitor’s driving program including number of laps that can [...]

iRacing.com’s Virtual Jetta TDI Cup Champ Earns Ride in Real-World Series Last fall Wyatt Gooden bested 1,163 competitors to win the iRacing.com Volkswagen Jetta TDI® Cup online racing series, and earn his way into the selection process for the 2010 real-world version. Earlier this month, the 21-year-old computer information systems student turned in a standout performance at the three day selection trials in Las Vegas and not only made the 25 driver field, but because of his winning performance in the iRacing online racing series, qualified for a waiver of the usual $45,000 fee charged competitors for the 10-race real-world series. “I want to have a career in racing, and this is going be a great chance to build my resume,” said Gooden, of Gates Mills, Ohio, who has successfully [...]
Wheatley’s Rolex 2.4
by Tim Wheatley, on February 1st, 2010
I’ve been around simracing for quite some time and I can safely say that I’ve only felt the way I did during Saturday’s iRacing Rolex 2.4 at Daytona once before: It was back in 2003 when I tasked myself with re-installing Grand Prix Legends (one of the iRacing development team’s previous creations) and running a full-length 1967 Grand Prix at the Nurburgring (Nordschleife). It was a challenge I felt equal to at the time and there really was no greater feeling for me in simracing after achieving it. I’ve read many posts with similar thoughts on the iRacing Member Forums and I can’t say I am surprised. I loved it, too. My 2009 Season 4 had been a tough one. I moved from Massachusetts to Illinois part way through and [...]
