Some dev updates tldr below. I'm happy iRacing is reinvesting its success back into itself so extensively.

  • iRacing is in midseason development mode for Season 4.
  • New track projects include Algarve, Misano, Mugello, Pukekohe, Lédenon, Zandvoort, and Navarra.
  • Short oval racing additions are planned, and the historic version of Zandvoort will be kept.
  • The art department is upgrading existing content.
  • The rain project is making progress.
  • Teams have been expanded for various developments.
  • The sim engine is being overhauled.
  • The UI framework is getting a redesign.
  • The web team is working on improvements.
  • Plans for new sim systems and a Career Mode experience are in place.

Honestly, if they have proper rain tyres (and suitable setups for fixed), I don't see it being too bad. Having watched a few friends toil in rookies before making the step up, it's just another slice of the skill-pie for drivers to acquire and master.

If I were the the one making decisions, I'd build in some degree of "weather progression" behind the Class levels. For example; Rookies could only ever see damp track at worst, D could encounter light rain, C+ would be fully unlocked potential.

My only actual concern is how authentically they will visualise spray, not being able to see anything really equalises the skill curve!
