This Patch Release contains a variety of updates, fixes, and improvements for the 2024 Season 1 Release. A few notable changes include a few updates to Daytona International Speedway (Road Course) just in time for our special events, and restoring some unique IndyCar branding!
iRACING:
————————————————————–
Updater
- A handful of Rookie cars and tracks are now part of the “Required” downloads. This is to ensure a customer always has both a track and vehicle available on their machine for troubleshooting purposes, as well as in preparation for a New User Onboarding experience coming soon! These items include:
- – – Formula Vee
- – – Street Stock
- – – Lime Rock Park
- – – USA International Speedway
LEGACY MEMBERSITE:
————————————————————–
Simulator Connectivity
- Next week, on Tuesday, January 16th at 0800EST, all functionality that directly launches the iRacing Simulator application in any way will be removed from the members.iracing.com site. All pages that include the ability to change your Registration status or Join the Simulator in any format will be removed from the members.iracing.com site.
- This change does not affect the iRacing application, the interface (UI) which you launch separately. This change only relates to the iRacing Legacy Membersite website, familiar to most of our very long-time customers. All functions and actions that utilize Simulator connectivity remain fully featured and available in iRacing, the standalone application!

SIMULATION:

Updater
- Fixed an issue that could occur where running a second update cycle immediately after a first is finished could fail to launch the updater, because the first updater may have still been silently running dependency checks.
