iRacing

iRacing is a subscription-based online racing simulation service. Developed and operated by iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, it aims to provide a realistic and competitive virtual motorsport experience. The service features a diverse range of virtual cars and tracks, meticulously laser-scanned from their real-world counterparts to ensure accuracy.

Players compete in officially sanctioned racing series that mirror real-world motorsport calendars and formats. These events are structured with practice, qualifying, and race sessions. A key aspect of iRacing is its proprietary safety and skill rating system, which aims to promote clean and competitive racing. Participants earn safety ratings based on avoiding collisions and incidents, while skill ratings reflect their performance relative to other drivers.

The iRacing platform requires a dedicated software client, which is regularly updated with new content and improvements. While the base subscription provides access to a selection of cars and tracks, additional content can be purchased individually. iRacing is known for its highly competitive community and has been used by professional racing drivers for training and practice. The simulation engine focuses on accurate tire physics, aerodynamics, and car handling to replicate the challenges of real-world racing. It is widely regarded as one of the most authentic racing simulators available.
