Direttamente Steve Myers ci fa sapere del prossimo arrivo in iRacing di un gustosissimo campionatino dedicato alla Volkswagen Jetta TDI, limitato però ad un ristretto gruppo di piloti che si alleneranno per la serie reale. Sempre Myers però preannuncia per le prossime settimane ulteriori dettagli e novità per tutti gli utenti dedicati alla nuova vettura. Annunciato inoltre l'arrivo imminente del nuovo circuito di Talladega:
You want fast? Really fast? The day Alabama International Motor Speedway opened in 1969 it was the fastest closed-circuit race track in the world. Now named Talladega Superspeedway, this 2.66-mile high banked tri-oval is still the fastest race track around and soon iRacers will be able to confirm this fact for themselves.

Constructed by the France family's International Speedway Corporation ten years after Daytona International Speedway, Talladega was built longer and with steeper banking which guaranteed record-setting speeds. The pole speed for the first NASCAR race was 199.466 mph, almost 30 mph faster than the IndyCars lapping at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Rule changes in 1987 mean Bill Elliott's 212.809 mph lap will stand forever as the qualifying record at Talladega and for NASCAR. Talladega Superspeedway is still the fastest track on the schedule and produces the most exciting fender-to-fender racing every year. Competing in high-speed packs at Talladega should prove both challenging and exciting for iRacers as well.
