iRacing has published a very exhaustive development note and there are many things we will talk about. Four tracks will be added to the core package on S2 2024 iRacing, meaning that they are free for all subscribed members. Also more tracks are receiving the new 3D kerbs.

At iRacing, we always do our best to provide our customers with a product that is packed with a great deal of value. iRacers have access to our always-improving product, continuously added new features, and an ever-expanding portfolio of awesome racing content. We also provide a great package of included content, with enough cars and tracks to fully participate in many series, all without spending a dime on additional content. With Season 2, this offering will be strengthened further, with four of our great racetracks being moved over to our Included tier of content. These tracks are Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, Snetterton Circuit, Circuit de Lédenon, and Winton Motor Raceway. While most subscription services out there have seen price hike after price hike in the face of rising inflation, iRacing’s prices have been stable and predictable. Together with this more expansive offering of included content, the value iRacing provides is greater than ever before.
3D curbs debuted last season, and we’ve been really pleased with the result and how they can transform a track. In March we will have 3D curbs included with all new tracks (Misano and Algarve), and we have also started to go through our catalog of existing tracks to chip away at our library and add this new feature. Sebring and Fuji will have support added, which could give the upcoming Sebring 12HR an interesting new dynamic. Racers will want to take some time to re-familiarize themselves with this track because the curbs are definitely now more of a factor than before.
We’re just scratching the surface here with Season 2, and there’s more ground to cover, but the release notes aren’t all that far off. Let’s save a bit more for then…
Of course, our development focus is always a balance between what will be delivered in the very next season’s release with what’s coming further in the future. We work on projects that are both near and far, and this holds true both for sim features, and also our sim content (cars and tracks).
Our most immediate future content (meaning not Season 2) includes Circuito de Navarra, which is deep into development, as well as Sachsenring Circuit. Oswego Speedway is also in pre-production and will feature both paved and dirt oval variants. Right now, we are planning a trip to the UK, where we’ll scan two new (for us) tracks in England. We are also about to get going on a long-awaited update to Spa, which we are very excited about.
