Grande annuncio a sorpresa oggi, da parte del team di iRacing: con questo comunicato stampa infatti, viene comunicata la partnership con il team Williams di Formula 1 e di conseguenza il prossimo arrivo entro il 2010 nel simulatore targato Kaemmer della monoposto Williams FW31, che ha disputato il Mondiale di Formula 1 del 2009.
iRacing.com today revealed plans to build a virtual version of the 2009 AT&T Williams FW31 and make it available to its members in 2010. The announcement at the Autosport International show in Birmingham, UK was made jointly by Williams F1 and iRacing.com Motorsport Simulation, LLC. “Our members range from full-time professional racing drivers to fans who may never sit in a racing car in the physical world,” said Divina Galica, MBE, iRacing’s director of client relations. “For $12.95 (US) and less than $8.00 per month, anyone virtually anywhere in the world will be able to take the controls of a contemporary grand prix car, test its performance and race against other drivers. We’re excited by the prospect of producing an exact digital duplicate of the AT&T Williams FW31 and very pleased to be able to make the announcement here in the UK, the home of Williams F1 and to the second-largest national contingent of iRacers.” Galica said that iRacing’s work on the AT&T Williams FW31 was beginning this week with data collection at the team’s headquarters in Grove and that the car is expected to join iRacing’s vehicle inventory later this year.
