Following the release of the new build on Tuesday, iRacing.com has now made the virtual version of Road Atlanta available for purchase. iRacing subscribers can get the track for $20, the 2.54 mile circuit comes with three different layouts, incorporating up to twelve turns.
Located outside of Braselton, Georgia, Road Atlanta is a fast & challenging United States road course, most famous for its sweeping downhill esses section. Owned by Panoz Motorsports Group, the track is best known for hosting the Petit Le Mans ALMS race, a 1000 mile sports car racing event held each fall.
Below are some screenshots of the Radical around the new track as well as an on-board video courtesy of Alexease.

It’s an amazing track. Looking forward to the Corvette C6R combo with this track. Really enjoying the new cars released this week as well. Been a fun week to be a member.
Now I will just wait for AuntieChuckle’s pithy comments.

Oh man, sweet. I remember racing on Road Atlanta in Sports Car GT – the first (semi) realistic racing game I played. Loved it!! I’m sure this will be great fun.
This is the kind of stuff that would make me want to subscribe to iRacing… if it wasn’t for the price. I’m not trying to start an argument here, let me make that clear. I just can’t really afford it myself, being a student w/o a job.

Yeah same reason here. They have some good deals though (free one month trials including extra content and $25 for 3 months). Even the basic stuff is plenty of fun.
The track looks great and I’m sure it feels even better than it looks.

Man this is an amazing track. I go to this track a few times a year. Once for the ALMS race and sometimes to help a friend of mine who races SCCA ITA. So I know the track very well and I am blown away by the detail on and off the track. I even see the tree we camped under last year. Hahaha.
I wish we had a version of RA for rFactor that was this accurate.

RA is possibly my favourite track and this looks stunning! Sadly I’m another one who can’t afford this but enjoying the screens anyway!
