Today the developer of iRacing showcased a new track coming with the 2025 Season 2 update which will go live soon.
The new track is Portland International Raceway in Oregon, United States, and we learn that it’ll come in two configurations, the full circuit and the version skipping the chicane.
As usual for this kind of reveal, the first half of the trailer focuses on cinematic shots of the track. The second half focuses on a lap from two different camera perspectives on a Dallara IR18.
You can watch it below.
Incidentally, just yesterday we got to see new cars that will come via the same update, the three Arca Menards stock cars.
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.
