Today the developers of iRacing showcased three new cars coming with the 2025 Season 2 update, the Arca Menards Series Stock Cars.
Specifically, we get to see the Arca Chevrolet SS, the Arca Ford Mustang, and the Arca Toyota Camry. The video released today shows both the exterior model and the driver’s perspective while racing on an oval.
Interestingly, the Arca Menards series will also appear in the upcoming Nascar 25, which is also being developed for PC and consoles under iRacing’s umbrella. It’ll be released in fall 2025.
You can watch it below and see if the cars tickle your racing instincts.
If you’re unfamiliar with iRacing, it’s a subscription-based, esports-focused racing simulation platform on PC considered by many one of the most realistic in the industry. Many professional racing drivers train on its LIDAR-scanned tracks that precisely reproduce their real counterparts.
Another element that makes it attractive as an esports platform is the implementation of racing regulations closely related to the ones used in real motorsports to create an online esports environment that feels as professional as possible, encouraging clean racing, racecraft, and fair play over winning or placing high in the rankings.
iRacing partners with several real-world racing series and organizations including Nascar, IMSA, the FIA, and many more. Recently, its developers also launched a partnership with Microsoft Research to implement Large Action Models AI in the game.
The company behind iRacing is also publishing the next Nascar game, Nascar 25, coming this fall for PC and consoles.
