We are all set. Here’s the new season with paid road tracks and cars, IA racing roster improved, more rain cars, etc. The complete release notes are available in a post published this week.
The iRacing 2026 Season 2 build is available now! Featuring two new cars, one new track, a rescanned track, and a substantial amount of updates to existing content, here’s what to expect from the new build:
- Audi RS3 LMS Gen2 TCR: The three-time TCR Model of the Year joins our touring car fleet, shipping both rain and AI-ready and replacing its previous-ten counterpart in our official series.
- NASCAR Truck RAM: NASCAR’s newest national series machine made its debut at Daytona just last month, and now it joins our Craftsman Truck Series fleet as our fourth manufacturer. The RAM also ships AI-ready.
- NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: The Camaro has been updated for 2026 with the ZL1 performance package.
- St. Petersburg Grand Prix: Our latest street course joins the sim fresh off this year’s INDYCAR season opener and a historic first-time event for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
- Barber Motorsports Park: An all-new scan brings one of INDYCAR’s most exciting road courses into the future. This scan overwrites the previous one for the track for users who have already licensed Barber.
- Oval Art Updates: Lanier, Langley, and USA—three of our most popular short tracks—get a fresh look with our latest graphics.
- New HUD Features: Layout profiles, visual spotter, a throttle/brake timeline, and standalone widgets for session info and rules further refine our UI.
- Car Updates: GTE, TCR, and vintage IMSA have each received extensive car class refreshes, while the Lotus 49 also receives a performance overhaul. Vintage IMSA, GTE, and the Lotus 49 are also newly rain-enabled!
- Oval Updates: Rubber pickup and distribution improvements headline our Oval Refresh updates, while Formula cars receive performance updates at short ovals and the NASCAR O’Reilly Series cars have had their drafting updated.
