In a recent post on the iRacing forums, staff member Chris Leone announced that the German Hockenheimring circuit will be coming to iRacing “soon”. This way, we will have another circuit that has hosted F1 Grand Prixs on the service, even being able to host another Grand Prix in the future. They haven’t said a date, but as they don’t show any kind of image, we think it will come by the end of the year.
Official notes:
iRacing is pleased to announce a new deal that will bring the Hockenheimring to the simulator in the coming months. Originally built in 1932 and redesigned for 2002, Hockenheim has played host to dozens of German Grands Prix over the years. Due to the circumstances of the global COVID-19 pandemic and our inability to do many data collection trips for previously planned projects, iRacing has acquired high-quality third-party scan data and photos in order to build this track. This allows us to get working on Hockenheim in the very near future.
The Hockenheimring joins a number of circuits that are currently in full production at iRacing, including Weedsport Raceway, Crandon International Raceway, the streets of Long Beach, Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, and Coca-Cola Superspeedway. Along with these tracks, iRacing is also working on the design of new rallycross courses.
