iRacing and Skip Barber Racing School officials are pleased to announce that the Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series will return for the 2025 season. Kicking off in June at the virtual Sebring International Raceway in iRacing’s Formula 4 car, the six-race series will once again offer top sim racers the opportunity to translate their skills into the real-world Skip Barber Formula Race Series, with prizes valued at over $500,000 on the line.
As in past seasons, the grid will be set by the Hot Lap Qualifier, a three-day Time Attack session from Friday through Sunday where the top 20 drivers will make the cut for the following Thursday’s race. Registration for each Hot Lap Qualifier is $20 and can be paid at https://www.skipbarber.com/iracing-series/. The drivers who qualify for each race will then receive coaching and feedback from real Skip Barber Racing School instructors in preparation for each race.
Past champions of the Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series have included Elvis Rankin, Diogo Pinto, and Victor Miranda. Last year, the top three drivers in the championship were entered into the SBRS Formula Car Shootout for the chance to run this year’s full Skip Barber Formula Race Series schedule. Ivan Machado Perez won the shootout and currently leads the championship with podiums in all six races so far.
The 2025 Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series schedule mirrors many of the events on this year’s Skip Barber Race Series schedule. As in past years, races will be broadcast live at iracing.com/live on Thursdays at 7PM ET. Event dates are as follows:

Once again, the top three point scorers at season’s end will receive a 3 Day Racing School and compete in a shootout later this year for a 2026 Skip Barber Race Series seat. 1 Day Racing School certificates will be awarded to fourth and fifth in points, as well as the Hard Charger Award winner from each race, and all of the qualifiers for each race will earn a one-time $200 credit towards an SBRS course.
