2023 Development Update
Greg Hill, iRacing’s Executive Producer, narrates the Develpment Updates for year 2023 and what is coming up next in iRacing
Indy Car Updates
A bit of a more pessimistic view of the situation, this youtuber is not entirely hopeful for the chances of us having a 2024 Indy 500 on iRacing… He also highlighted a tidbit of info we missed out on, on this deal, this was published by Marshall Pruett from racer.com in a Q and A.
“I’ve been told by quite a few folks that at least one decision-maker in Penske Entertainment’s leadership team has deep ties to the company in question which, if true, would explain how they got themselves into this mess.”

iRacing and Indycar
Myers: “We would love our previous IndyCar [simulator] rights back for our iRacing product, but I’m guessing they still have much to consider. As far as potentially building a dedicated IndyCar game for consoles, if we could acquire the license, that is also a big decision. We currently only have the capacity and resources to do so much simultaneously.”
