Two new cars will arrive on iRacing this summer (perhaps June) and we will no have more series. Now these two cars will replace the veteran Star / Pro Mazda, a car that has disappeared from the real grills for years and whose replacement we have been waiting for years since its scan was announced. The other will be placed in the rookie formula series, to replace the F3 in its crazy and chaotic participation in series D.
Notes by Greg West
Utilizing the same chassis, the Tatuus USF17 and Tatuus PM18 represent the first two steps in the Road to Indy program. After conquering the USF17 in US F2000 action, drivers get to play with 100 more horsepower, more aerodynamic options, and larger tires with the PM18 in Indy Pro 2000.
Upon release, the US F2000 will be used as a more appropriate car in the fixed setup Formula Sprint races at the D-class license level, where it will replace the Dallara F3. The Dallara F3 will remain in its own series at the C-class license level.
Upon release, the Indy Pro 2000 will replace the former Pro Mazda car at the C-class license level open setup series. The Pro Mazda will be renamed as a “Legacy” car and removed from official racing. Any user who purchased the Pro Mazda within the last two years will receive the Indy Pro 2000 for free!
Finally, future seasons at both levels will see the addition of a couple short ovals run in real life to more closely replicate the real-world Road to Indy ladder. (looking at you IRP)
Stay tuned for images later this week!
