Get ready for an epic reunion that spans over a dozen years, because the iRacing Indianapolis 500 is back on the Special Events calendar!
This virtual rendition of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” has always attracted thousands of participants, with sim racers from all over the world battling it out for 200 laps on the iconic IMS oval.
Excited about this return, iRacing President Tony Gardner said, “The IndyCar Series and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are racing properties that need to be included in iRacing. There is no better way for fans to experience sim racing than on iRacing, and whether it’s the IndyCar Series’ Indy 500, NASCAR’s Brickyard 400, or IMSA’s Battle on the Bricks, there is nothing like racing at Indianapolis. I am so pleased to be able to bring these events back to the iRacing community.”
But that’s not all – members will also have access to IndyCar Series content for private events and leagues. The new license agreement will include more than previous iterations, including:
- Return of the iRacing Indianapolis 500
- IndyCar Series branding of series on iRacing
- Multiple leagues to run IndyCar Series events on iRacing
- License extension of Indianapolis Motor Speedway
The licensing agreement between IndyCar and iRacing is effective immediately. Keep an eye out for the rebranding of series, cars, and events in the coming days, as well as more details about the iRacing Indianapolis 500 later this month.
