Now the tie-up with IRL has been confirmed we have to wait until November to get our hands on the content.

The famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway is well into it’s production cycle;

In April a crew of iRacing laser-scanning technicians captured the dimensional data and graphic information used over the last several months to build a millimeter-accurate version of the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway track that will be correct right down to the detail in the famous Yard of Bricks at the Start/Finish line.

The iRacing version of Indianapolis Motor Speedway will include both the 2.5-mile oval used for the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400 NASCAR race and the 2.621-mile road circuit that is home to the Red Bull Indianapolis GP world championship motorcycle event.

iRacing’s Greg Hill has shared a couple of work-in-progress screenshots of the famous track;

Joyous news! iRacing’s Steve Myers posted this in the members forums;

“Lotus 79 will be in the build for the start of next season.”

That means it’s only about 5 weeks away! To celebrate, we have some new screenshots of the beast at Watkins Glen to drool over;
