The update for Season 1 of 2025 is scheduled to launch in iRacing today, and its developers are celebrating by showing off one of the new cars, the majestic Ferrari 499P.
This monster is powered by a 671-horsepower twin-turbo hybrid motor, and considering its weight of just 1120 kg, it’s going to go very, very fast, and to accelerate just as quickly.
As usual, you can take a look below, including half of the video focusing on cinematic shots, while the other half will be a lap at Mugello showing how the car behaves from behind the wheel.
The update includes plenty more content, including more new cars like the free BMW M2 CS Racing, the Supercars Chevrolet Camaro Gen 3 and Supercars Ford Mustang Gen 3, and the Acura NSX GT3 EVO 22.
We’re also getting new and revised tracks Thruxton Circuit, Huset’s Speedway, and refreshes of New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
If the name iRacing doesn’t ring a bell, it’s a subscription-based, esports-focused racing simulation platform on PC considered by many one of the most realistic in the industry. Due to these perks, 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 real motorsports to create an online esports environment that feels as professional as possible, encouraging clean racing and fair play over winning.
iRacing partners with several real-world racing series and organizations including NASCAR, IMSA, the FIA, and many more, and it’s also one of the most respected and prestigious esports environments for racing simulation enthusiasts
Recently, the developers of iRacing also launched a partnership with Microsoft Research to implement Large Action Models AI in the game.
