Two modern prototypes running in IMSA were already in the simulation, one was announced officially - that left the fourth to be confirmed for iRacing: Just as expected, the Acura ARX-06 is coming to iRacing with the 2023 Season 4 build. Fans can get behind the virtual wheel on September 6th.

With the BMW M Hybrid V8 and the Cadillac V-Series.R already turning laps in iRacing, the Porsche 963 had recently been officially unveiled to be part of the upcoming build of the simulator. The GTP cars based on the LMDh ruleset are being joined by the ARX-06 to complete the 2023 grid of top-tier prototypes that compete in IMSA.
Just like the BMW, the Acura is only running in IMSA for now, contrary to both the Cadillac and Porsche, which are also competing in the World Endurance Championship's Hypercar class. While the BMW, which is run by Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing in North America, has already been confirmed to make its WEC debut in 2024, fans are still waiting for word on the status of the ARX-06 regarding racing outside of IMSA.
Should the car be fielded in WEC as well, it would likely be with the badge of Acura's parent company Honda. This approach was also used with the NSX GT3 model, as Acura's primary market is in North America, with Honda being more present in most other regions.
