Il team di iRacing ha annunciato la nuova partnership con il campionato Red Bull Global Rallycross, che permetterà quindi di riprodurre la versione virtuale del campionato nel simulatore americano. Qui di seguito i dettagli nel comunicato stampa, con immagini e trailer di anteprima. Il Red Bull GRC sarà disponibile in iRacing entro la fine del 2017. Commenti sul forum. iRacing and Red Bull Global Rallycross today announced a partnership that will bring official Red Bull GRC racing to the premier online eSport racing game. Rallycross’s unique style of combined dirt and asphalt racing and tight, fender-to-fender racing will complement iRacing’s vast offering of motorsport formats including NASCAR, IndyCar, sportscars, dirt oval and more. Expected to be available later this year, iRacing’s Red Bull GRC will debut with multiple cars and tracks as well as an exciting new race format – heat racing. Just as in the real world series, the heat format combines multiple short races where competitors battle to qualify for the final. iRacing previously announced that the Volkswagen Beetle GRC car will be available in iRacing – free to all members. In addition to the VW, iRacing has also licensed and built the Ford Fiesta RS WRC racecar which will be available for purchase when Rallycross becomes available in the online racing service. Initially there will be four GRC tracks with five separate configurations available to iRacing members – Daytona International Raceway (x2), Iowa Speedway, Gateway Motorsports Park and Lucas Oil Raceway. These purpose built tracks replicate the challenges Red Bull Rallycross drivers face – multiple track surfaces, jumps, hairpin turns and more. iRacing’s dynamic tracks surfaces change lap after lap, just like in the real world and the dirt surface model replicates the ever changing conditions of a rallycross track. “This is a really exciting announcement for iRacing fans all around the world,” said Steve Myers, executive vice president and executive producer. “Being able to combine dirt and asphalt racing, plus the changing tracks conditions is something we have been working on for quite a while now and to see it come alive with Red Bull Global Rallycross is amazing.” “We have been working with iRacing for some time now, collaborating to develop the tracks and working with drivers to ensure the cars perform just as they do in the real world,” said Chip Pankow, founder and COO, Red Bull Global Rallycross. “iRacing will be a great way for our fans to experience Red Bull Global Rallycross in way they have never before – getting on track and racing. I know our fans will love it!” A number of top Red Bull Global Rallycross drivers are already iRacing members and have collaborated to help develop the project. Multi-time Supercar champion Scott Speed was an integral part of the development process, offering feedback to developers to help refine the simulation. Red Bull GRC drivers have competed in numerous top-tier iRacing events, including the iRacing.com World Championship Grand Prix Series and the iRacing Pro Race of Champions. iRacing and Red Bull Global Rallycross also plan to make full use of the partnership and development tools iRacing has available. Designing, setting up and testing course configurations in iRacing will be a useful tool that will save both time and money for the series in the coming years. iRacing plans to release Red Bull Global Rallycross later this year.

Dopo l'annuncio riguardante lo sviluppo delle nuove Porsche ed Audi LMP1, il presidente di iRacing Tony Gardner ci racconta cosa dobbiamo aspettarci per i prossimi mesi nel simulatore americano, con l'arrivo dell'atteso Rally Cross previsto "nei prossimi mesi, entro l'anno". Just an update. Our Rally Cross project is still coming along nicely. It is looking like the initial launch will be two cars and three or four circuits. Not sure on the exact timing but it should be this year. Probably within about a month, we can give a better window for the release. We also are making good progress on the much-requested feature, new license capability. For example, adding both a dirt oval and dirt road (rally cross) license including iRating & Safety Rating etc. It has taken a while as our whole system, database, license and skill structure was hard-coded for just road and oval licenses. However a good shot we will have the new licenses (dirt oval & dirt road) in our next season build. We also are working on heat racing functionality for both official racing and hosted racing. Much more on this soon but this new functionality also has a good chance of rolling out this year. We are ideally rolling this capability out with Rally Cross racing for example. We would also set up some dirt oval and short track pavement series with this new functionality! (When the timing is right, for example at the start of a new season). Although each series does things a little differently, heat racing generally would work very similar to the way it works in the real world and includes some nice functional flexibility. Heat racing, for those not familiar, is short races leading up to the main feature race (A-Main) or the consolation race (B-Main). In iRacing, the mini-tournament would all be part of a single session and the whole thing might last for example 45 minutes. For official racing, it would still be part of an overall series. There also are much more really great projects in development obviously (more on those later) besides the LMP1 Cars we announced today but I thought I would update on rally cross and a couple projects that are related.

La Codemasters ci presenta oggi in un nuovo video di anteprima il suo prossimo DiRT 4, titolo in arrivo il 9 giugno su tutte le piattaforme. Il trailer è dedicato alla spettacolare disciplina del Rallycross, per la quale DiRT 4 ha la licenza ufficiale FIA. DiRT 4 is the official game of the FIA World Rallycross championship, and the new gameplay trailer shows Supercars racing at Lohéac Bretagne, Montalegre, Lydden Hill, Hell and Holjes. In addition to the Supercar class, DiRT 4 also has rallycross racing in RX2, Super 1600s, Group B classics and crosskarts making it a fully fledged rallycross experience. You can watch our new trailer here: Developed in consultation from two time FIA World Rallycross Champion, Petter Solberg, the rallycross handling in DiRT 4 has undergone a complete overhaul to ensure it is as close to the real thing as possible. Rallycross is thrilling multicar, circuit racing on mixed surfaces made up of both dirt and asphalt. The short, quick-fire races take four to six laps and each car must complete at least one ‘Joker Lap’ which is longer than the traditional lap leading to tactical, enthralling wheel-to-wheel racing. Drivers compete in four qualifying races before the top drivers make the semi finals and final. The supercar class in the FIA World Rallycross Championship are 600bhp beasts that accelerate from 0-60mph in under 2 seconds – faster than a Formula One car. Launching on PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC on 9th June 2017 DiRT 4 challenges you to Be Fearless as you take the wheel of the world’s most iconic and powerful off-road vehicles. Featuring two different handling models, Gamer and Simulation, DiRT 4 offers both depth and accessibility for players old and new to the franchise. The game’s innovative Your Stage system allows you to produce a near infinite number of unique rally stages at the touch of a button.
