iRacing Indy 500 Special Event This Weekend

iRacing’s Special Event calendar features a selection of the world’s most compelling races across numerous disciplines. Whether you’re interested in stock cars or sports cars, open-wheel formula cars or sprint cars, sticking to pavement or playing in the dirt, running solo or racing with a team of your closest friends, our Special Events have something for everyone!

Known as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” the Indy 500 is one of the most prestigious race events in the world, held since 1911 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is part of the NTT IndyCar Series in the United States. This version of the event features open setups developed by the competitors for the fastest speeds. As with the real event, four-lap, single-car qualifying is staged separately to set the grids for each split.

This weekend’s event has 4 slots (CEST time), this Saturday at 3:00 am, 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm and Sunday at 3:00 pm.

The event will consist of 200 laps to the mythical circuit of Indianapolis with the Dallara IR18 and the qualifying session is external to the race, so the drivers must qualify before the race. In turn, the splits will not be separated by iRating but by the time they have obtained in qualifying, bringing together the fastest in the first split.
