Ind圜ar and Supercars series are due to start with a similar assortment of pro-drivers. NASCAR have stepped up the eSports game with FOX running full TV coverage for their iRacing races, which included the full pomp and ceremony of a normal NASCAR race, but in virtual form and even the return of retired legend Dale Earnhardt, Jr. The majority of the eSeries cropping up to replace real-life motorsport this year are on the iRacing platform, the likes of Max Verstappen, Neel Jani, Juan Pablo Montoya and Antonio Felix da Costa, proving iRacing’s popularity. Constant updates keep iRacing relevant and arguably has the best community of online racers going, thanks to its strict policies against reckless drivers. The untrained eye may think that a 12-year-old game can’t hack it compared to its more youthful competitors, but they could not be further from the truth. While many may be turned off by the cost factor (a monthly subscription is required to play the game), it’s safe to say that this is the choice of the pro sim racer.
