Mid-Ohio released (plus new Real Vs. Virtual!)

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

The next track in the iRacing line up is the excellent Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Offering a generous five different layouts, the track is a fantastic addition to iRacing offering a unique set of flowing corners and many elevation changes. All of which makes preparing a set of Real Vs. Virtual all the more interesting!

The next series of Real Vs. Virtual is available on Vimeo below and as direct static photos here.

Early Preview of the FW31

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Announced back in January 2010, iRacing have been working on their version of the Williams F1 FW31 – slated to be the absolute top tier open wheel racer in the iRacing.com service.

When it was announced there was a glimmer of hope that the car would be available for use in time for the iRacing.com World Tour event in July (the ‘F1′ event at Silverstone). That goal was a bit too optimistic as it seems likely the event will now use the Lotus 79 instead.

Nevertheless engineering work is continuing and iRacing released a very early development shot of their FW31 in action. Clearly a long way to go but a very interesting glimpse into the early stages of the car modelling.
