Here’s what to expect from 2025 Season 1, Week 8, from February 4th to February 10th in 2025.

For the Members: iRacing Official Series Highlights

Every week, iRacing offers daily, even hourly racing that members can get into, based on where their license level is at. There are also some special series that run at specific times that anyone can jump into, with the right credentials, that offer a more meaningful sim racing experience. 

Here are a few of the highlighted series taking place this week.

Since there’s no NASCAR iRacing Series until the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season begins, the offseason makes room for the Winter NASCAR iRacing Series (WNiS), a similarly-structured fixed and open setup series which will utilize the 1987 NASCAR Cup Series cars. Week 13 of 13 will feature the 1987 cars at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The races this week are scheduled for:
