iRacing announced today that the simulation can be enriched with two additional tracks and two brand new cars which are all up for pre-order at the iRacing website.

The release of iRacing 2.0 may still be a few weeks away, but iRacers can get a jump on some of the content thanks to iRacing’s first ever Four-for-All. That’s right, four exciting features of iRacing 2.0 –Iowa Speedway and Suzuka International Racing course, the Ford GT and LMP ARX 01c – are now available for pre-sale. That’s one of America’s finest new speedways, a world class road circuit, an iconic GT machine and one of the fastest sports prototypes ever built. In other words, something for everyone.

Ford GT & LMS ARX 01c
The Ford GT is a modern version of the car that defeated mighty Ferrari at Le Mans in the 1960s. How modern, you ask? The iRacing Ford GT is a digital version of the car that David and Andrea Robertson and David Murry piloted to third place in the GTE Am class in the 2011 24 Hour of Le Mans. Better yet, the LMP ARX 01c is based on the Strakka Racing entry that Nick Leventis, Danny Watts and Johnny Kane drove to first place in LMP2 at Le Mans last year.

Suzuka & Iowa
Featuring iRacing’s first active overpass, Suzuka’s distinctive figure eight layout has been the scene of epic battles featuring the likes of Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna (and Eddie Irvine), Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso in the Japanese Grand Prix. Iowa Speedway’s 7/8 mile oval annually plays host to the IZOD IndyCar Series and Firestone Indy Lights Series, as well as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the Nationwide Series, where Josh Wise will be racing his JR Motorsports Chevy in the special iRacing 2.0 livery designed by iRacer Kevin King on August 6.

I am so looking forward to these cars with the new tire model, aero and suspension. My favorite road car is now the tank called the Nationwide and it's because of the tire model. It's the only thing I drive now.... Can't wait for true road cars. :)

@Kevin

I agree.

I think Ford GT is a car similar to Corvette C6.R, in terms of driving style and will require a Class B License at least.

The LMP ARX 01c is probably a car that will demand all skills a great driver has, and will ask for a Class B License minimum as well. Maybe the driving style of this prototype car is easier than the FW31 Williams-Toyota, which will remain alone in the Class A Road Racing.

The new tracks are also great picks for the iRacing community.

Waiting Brazilian Track Interlagos and Indy Lights car (maybe 2012).


Thanks lads!
 
I wouldn't hold your breath on Interlagos. iRacing has been there and taken the pictures required for texturing but Brazilian customs officials would not allow the laser scanning equipment into the country for some unknown reason so its on hold indefinately at the moment but thats good news for British racing fans as they said their modelling team have spent the time they would have been working on Interlagos working on Oulton Park instead.
