E' disponibile in queste ore il download della build Season 1 2023 di iRacing, che questa volta, oltre alle consuete migliorie, porta con sè anche numerose e gustosissime novità. Abbiamo già parlato delle novità tecniche e fisiche relative alle vetture GT3 ed LMP2, ma il menu preparato oggi dagli americani è più ricco del previsto.
E' infatti disponibile l'attesa BMW M Hybrid V8, la Mercedes-AMG W13 E Performance, la Toyota GR86 (questa rilasciata nel pacchetto base come contenuto gratuito!), il Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, un restyling completo di Sebring International Raceway e molto altro ancora, come specificato nel lungo changelog che segue.
The iRacing annual December update is here! This release includes a huge amount of content and upgrades for 2023 Season 1, which officially starts on December 12th! This season update includes three new cars: BMW M Hybrid V8, Mercedes-AMG W13 E Performance, and Toyota GR86. We have also added two brand new tracks: Lincoln Speedway, and Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours. Both the Ford Mustang FR500S and Sebring International Raceway have also received complete art updates for a fresh and modern look. Three new Dirt Road track configs have been added between Daytona Rallycross and Dirt Road, and [Legacy] Phoenix Raceway - 2008. The brand new Active Reset feature is now available to help you repeatedly practice any and all of iRacing’s track sections with only a few keystrokes. Our surface simulations on and off the track have been improved with driving line Track Polish modeling and physics-based soft surface modeling. Dozens more tracks now have Start Zones available and starting grids expanded up to 60 racers! The GT3 class also received tire and aerodynamic updates along with increased mass and engine power; these changes bring performance even closer to their real-world counterparts. A new texture layer has been added to all cars that allow for acrylic clear coats to be added to all custom paint schemes. The New Damage Model is now also in effect for GT3 Class Cars and the Dallara P217. Our iRacing AI have been training all autumn long and are ready to fight you for the podium with nine new cars at 23 new track configs. Bring in the new year with style, and welcome to iRacing 2023 Season 1!
