iRACING UI:

--------------------------------------------------------------

• When a navigation request is made to the iRacing application while it is already open, such as a URL that opens a particular Time Attack Competition, the application now loads the requested path.

Telemetry

• The telemetry value, “SteeringColumnPeakTorqueNm” is now logged to disk as well as to live telemetry.

• (Dirt) - The Pace Car Driver is making progress on driving at this track. The Pace Car Driver will no longer drive through barriers and the infield, but will instead take an extra lap before leaving the pits - this leaves drivers one less lap to form-up before pitting. If you plan to host an event here, we recommend adding one additional caution lap to your event. The Pace Car Driver will continue training.

• Fixed an invisible collision volume on pit road that extended into the pit stalls.
• Patched up several surface seams around the track.

The 2021 Season 3 Patch 5 Release contains some fixes and updates for the 2021 Season 3 Release. This patch also includes the pre-release for the brand new Mount Washington Auto Road!

SIMULATION:
Rendering
We have integrated SpeedTree into our simulation/game engine. SpeedTree is a 3D vegetation modeling and rendering system designed for films and real-time games. It provides our artists with tools to build location-specific trees and then quickly place them at our racetracks. The system is engineered to render these trees efficiently and with built-in level-of-detail (LOD) management, and has received specific customization to make it work optimally for iRacing's requirements. This feature is making its debut at Mount Washington and will be used more extensively in the future.

CARS:
Indy Pro 2000 PM-18
iRacing setups have been updated.

Subaru WRX STI
On-board engine and rev limiter sounds have been improved.
Windshield reflections have been updated.

TRACKS:
Mount Washington Auto Road

NEW TRACK!
- - Mount Washington Auto Road is now available as a pre-release track!
- - This Rallycross track includes two configurations, Hillclimb, and Descent.
- - Towering at 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the highest peak in the northeastern United States and the sixth-highest mountain in all of North America. The Mount Washington Auto Road was completed in 1861, stretching 7.6 miles and climbing 4,618 feet from base to summit at an average gradient of 11.6%. The road is both open to private vehicles and guided tours, and "THIS CAR CLIMBED MOUNT WASHINGTON" bumper stickers are prevalent throughout New England. In 1904, the inaugural Mount Washington Hillclimb Auto Race was hosted. Held sporadically over the past century, the "Climb to the Clouds" is nonetheless the oldest auto race in the country. Its latest revival as a full-blown race came in 2011 as a tri-annual event, and each edition of the race since 1956 has seen a new record time set by the winner. The most recent record was set by Travis Pastrana in 2017. Mount Washington serves as iRacing's first-ever point-to-point hillclimb race - do you have what it takes to make it to the top?
- - Add the Mount Washington Auto Road to your digital landscape by purchasing it from the iRacing store today! https://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/TrackDetail.do?trkid=398

Prime immagini dall'Hungaroring

[VELOCIPEDE]

Il team di iRacing ha confermato tramite social l'arrivo di numerose novità per il simulatore americano. La prima è il circuito dell'Hungaroring, che come si vede dalle immagini, è in avanzata fase di sviluppo. Seguono poi gli storici circuiti di Sandown Raceway e Winton Motor Raceway, che faranno il loro debutto virtuale nei prossimi mesi sulla piattaforma iRacing.

ùSandown e Winton si uniranno a Mount Panorama, Phillip Island e Oran Park Circuit come parte di un entusiasmante progetto di contenuti incentrato sull'Australia. La popolare piattaforma di sim racing consentirà anche alle Supercar di giocare con l'IA in tempo per il rilascio dei nuovi circuiti. L'annuncio arriva prima dell'inizio della serie 2021 di Cash Converters Supercars, che inizierà mercoledì.

La serie di sei round si basa sulla popolare piattaforma iRacing e presenta un montepremi di $ 26.500 per la parte Pro Gamer del campionato. 10.000 dollari saranno assegnati al vincitore della serie. L'All Stars è composto da piloti Supercars, con piloti che gareggiano su cinque famosi circuiti ovali tra cui Charlotte, Pocono, Daytona, Michigan e Bristol. Ci sarà anche un evento endurance, al Mount Panorama di Bathurst.

La serie Pro include giocatori d'élite che rappresentano le squadre di Supercar. I piloti correranno al Red Bull Ring in Austria, ai circuiti IndyCar di Long Beach e Road America, a Mount Panorama e alla gara di fine stagione a Phillip Island. Il Sandown Raceway con sede a Melbourne è operativo dal 1962 e ha ospitato eventi endurance e sprint in Supercar. Il Penrite Oil Sandown SuperSprint di quest'anno ha visto un'incredibile piazza pulita del leader del campionato Shane van Gisbergen, che è anche un esperto pilota online. Winton Motor Raceway è stato un pilastro del calendario delle Supercar dal 1985, con il layout rurale stretto e tortuoso che offre una sfida unica per i piloti di Supercar.
