Every new iRacing season, a new build of the online racing simulation is released, usually introducing several new features and content additions.
iRacing’s Steve Meyers has shared some details about what changes are coming up in the next build. Content-wise, players can expect the Indycar Dallara chassis that will be available both in oval and road course specification. There’s also some hope that the much anticipated Corvette C6.R will make this built as the iRacing staff has recently received much needed data from Pratt&Miller.
In terms of tracks, the Canadian Mosport International Raceway will be making the new build, adding another high-profile road course to the simulation. The new build will also introduce some new features, including opponent tire smoke and skids, adjustable break bias and other setup changes straight from the cockpit as well as a feature that will allow racers to trade setups during a session.
One of the most important changes in the new build will be the addition of private racing that will make iRacing attractive to leagues who like to organise their own events. A few weeks ago, iRacing outlined the concept that will allow regular subscribers to turn into a race host for a little charge per race.
While that’s a pretty impressive list of changes for the next build, the iRacing staff is already working on future updates. The next car in the development pipeline will be the recently-announced Ford Falcon FG01 V8 Supercar, another novelty that will be introduced in the future are night racing events.

I wonder when they’ll actually add multi-car racing.

Someone left out the new “Nazi” feature. It’s a spectacular new feature that locks threads when the regime doesn’t approve of what’s said within. And now the general forums look gay because of the OT post requirements.

Nothing wrong with moderators checking a forum imo.

Sediol,
Have you seen the amount of activity recently? Someone has bugged out over there. Almost like they put a quippy David Miscavige in charge of the forums. Pretty sad to see someone abuse their authority in such a manner.

What OT post requirements? “If post is not iRacing-related, but may sound like it is by subject, please put OT in subject.” Doesn’t sound too strict to me. Either use a descriptive title or put OT in the subject. That’s already more lenient than on most moderated forums.
Even such a simple rule is already being broken. The forums make most of the membership look like illiterate kids, while the actual average age probably is close to 40. About time they introduced some moderation there.

Take care,

Peace, man!

Oh you mean multi-class racing….why would they do it when they don’t have cars that run together in realife?

So what happened to Oulton, Brands and Zandvoort then?

The track that is next in line to be completed will be Brands Hatch and we actually already have a track spline done. The Kiwi turned a 1:17 in the Dallara the other day on the track and it’s going to be a fantastic track for the service, although possibly a safety rating killer! We have penciled in at the moment that Zandvoort will be the next track completed after Brands Hatch.

They are the next tracks in line after Mosport is released.
