iRacing has added the British Brands Hatch circuit to their online racing simulation as subscribers can now download the track, making Brands Hatch the second European track to be available in iRacing.
Included is both the Indy layout that’s being used by the German DTM series as well as the longer Grand Prix layout that the WTCC & BTCC races on. The track sells for $14.95, you can check out a full lap on the GP configuration below.
The 3,7 kilometer Brands Hatch circuit hosted 12 Formula One Grand Prix and is well known as a touring car venue these days, hosting both the WTCC & DTM as well as the British BTCC.

This track is amazing!
The elevations are so dramatic compared to what I have tried in other sims.
IRacing did a fantastic job on this one!

Is it a drift mode?
It was a joke, I know, Iracing is realistic simulation, but in this wideo the driver slides a lot.

That’s how it is in real life.

Tossing a Spec Racer Ford around Brands Hatch Indy is pure bliss. Man, what a great representation of one of my favorite tracks in the world.
Only one problem: Is there ever really that much sunlight in Kent?

I have purchased some iRacing tracks. I like them a lot. The only thing that I wonder about is why do all these tracks have race surfaces (tarmac) that look the same? Is it the coloring/lighting issue that will be rectified in a future build like they said? Other than this, I am happy with driving on these accurate creations!

The Skip Barber has virtually no downforce and street radials with a high wide slip angle. They slide a lot. Very tail happy.
Indy cars and the Mazda for instance have tons of downforce and slicks with a low slip angle. Very very different. You could run an Indy car at speed upside down on a ceiling. It weighs about 1,550 lbs and it generates something like 3,000 lbs of downforce.
Try that with a Skippy! LOL!
The Skip Barber might be the best car in iRacing. Big favorite of all the road racers.

This week’s 24 Heures du Fun should be named 24 Heures du Orgasm: It’s Dallara IndyCar at Brands Hatch GP. I ran about 45 minutes of laps tonight.
Sheer effing glee. Yowza — what fun!
