Tony Gardner, presidente del colosso americano iRacing, ci parla in questo interessante articolo pubblicato da inRacing News dei tracciati riprodotti con tecnologia laser scan nel simulatore.

What is the status of these tracks that are currently signed?

Auto Club Speedway (aka Fontana) – Not scanned yet – rumors about it changing.

Autodromo Jose Carlos (aka Interlagos) – Working on getting a scan, some progress. Would love to get this track done.

Kansas Speedway – Making sure no changes to track before scanning.

Langley Speedway – Scanned, will finish this track in 2012.

Long Beach – Production was started and stopped as some members know. The spline is completely done. We will pick up working on this track again in 2012! It is big so not promising releasing in 2012!

Lucas Oil Raceway (aka IRP) – Production has started.

Miller Motorsports Park – On list to do at some point.

New Jersey Motorsports Park – Scanned, on list to do at some point

New Smyrna Speedway – Releasing next month – December 2011 – both night and day versions!

Willow Springs International Motorsports Park – Scanned, some production work done, but put on hold for now.

Circuit Zolder – Spline started; will finish in 2012.

Twing Ring Motegi is next road course that will be done and, I might add, a great track!

Daytona rescan is also coming before the Daytona 500.

"Siamo entusiasti di annunciare il lancio della beta pubblica Simraceway. Come con qualsiasi versione beta, è importante sottolineare che non stiamo lanciando un gioco completo e rifinito. Al contrario, chiediamo l'aiuto degli utenti per svilupparlo ulteriormente e creare qualcosa di emozionante per il simracing. Simraceway è costruita sul motore gMotor2 dell'ISI ma a parte il motore i due giochi hanno ben poco in comune. In Simraceway l' interfaccia utente e caratteristiche come l'animazione SpeedTree hanno più in comune con NFS Shift 2 che con rFactor. Inoltre Simraceway è un gioco realistico pensato soprattutto per le gare online, ed è adatto a tutti i livelli di abilità degli utenti."

Il titolo, previsto per Febbraio 2012, sarà disponibile per Ps3, Xbox 360 e PC.
