Mugello wurde ursprünglich 1974 als Ersatz für Straßenrennen in der Region eröffnet und ist vor allem als Austragungsort der italienischen Runde der MotoGP-Meisterschaft bekannt, obwohl es auch Austragungsort des Großen Preises der Toskana 2020 in der Formel 1 war und Treffen der Superbike-Weltmeisterschaften abgehalten hat , EWC- und DTM-Veranstaltungen und vieles mehr. Die 3,259 Meilen (5,245 km) lange Strecke umfasst 15 Kurven, wobei die lange Hauptgerade zum Überholen in San Donato, der ersten Kurve, führt. Und viele Höhenunterschiede mit dem Anstieg nach Luco (Kurve 2), dem Gefälle zwischen Casanona und Savelli (Kurven 6 und 7) und einem weiteren Anstieg durch Arrabbiata 1 und 2 (Kurven 8 und 9).
Der Slinger Speedway gilt als das schnellste Viertelmeilen-Oval der Welt mit 33-Grad-Steilkurven. Es wurde 1948 eröffnet und 1974 von einem Lehmbelag auf einen Asphaltbelag umgestellt. In den späten 1970er Jahren wurde neben dem Oval auch ein Achter-Layout hinzugefügt, und neben dem 200-Runden-Super-Late-Modell Slinger Nationals war es auch Austragungsort der Superstar Racing Experience Serie im Jahr 2021.
Sowohl Mugello als auch das aktualisierte Okayama verfügen über die neuen 3D-Bordsteine, die jede Unebenheit und jedes Detail modellieren, sowie über 3D-Blätter (mit dem Update auch zum Virginia International Raceway hinzugefügt). Und die neue Version von Okayama ist ein kompletter Neuaufbau, der die vorherige Version ersetzt. Im Rahmen Ihrer iRacing-Mitgliedschaft ist es weiterhin kostenlos, alle alten Daten wurden jedoch ersetzt.
Der neue Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3 erscheint im Update als Nachbildung des 2022 eingeführten Autos mit neuem Aerodynamikpaket, Motoransaugsystem und vierfach verstellbaren Federungsdämpfern. Es ist die zweite Weiterentwicklung eines Modells, das seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt im GT-Rennsport antritt.
Die Leistung beträgt bis zu 430 PS, abhängig von den Leistungsbilanzregeln der einzelnen Serien, mit einem Drehmoment von über 550 Nm und einem Trockengewicht von 1.235 kg. Der 5,2-Liter-V10-Saugmotor ist mit einem sequentiellen Sechsganggetriebe ausgestattet, bei dem alles auf die Hinterräder läuft.

SIMULATION
————————————————————–
Optimization
- Improved rendering performance for complex scenes, such as during gridding.
Updater
- Several pieces of Rookie content have been added to our REQUIRED downloads list in preparation for a short new player onboarding experience planned for release within 2024 Season 1. These items include:
- – – Formula Vee
- – – Street Stock
- – – Lime Rock Park
- – – USA International Speedway
Physics
- A new 3D curbs system has been added to a select group of tracks!
- – – The new 3D curb system fully models all curbing at the track, including small curbing previously simulated via a texture. These new fully 3D object curbs allow for a much greater sense of realism for running over curbs and tire interaction. The following tracks now utilize the 3D curbs system:
- – – – – Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello
- – – – – Okayama International Circuit
- In some areas at some tracks, the lateral distance from the track edge for porous surfaces now increases the rolling drag applied by that surface, simulating an increase in depth of the loose off-track surface. Generally, porous material surfaces start out shallow near the track edge and get deeper the farther from the track surface you travel.
- Grass, dirt, sand, and gravel have had improvements to the feeling of surface displacement.
- For grass surfaces, peak shear strength has been reduced slightly when a tire is slipping.
Race Control
- Fixed an issue where your Average Lap Time in a Practice Session was incorrectly including incomplete laps, for example where you reset to your pit stall.
Oval Racing
- iRacing is happy to release Phase 1 for our Asphalt Oval Refresh Project.
- – – Asphalt Oval Refresh is an ongoing project with the aim to improve the overall experience and realism of asphalt oval racing. This release of Phase 1 includes improvements to the surface grip levels as it relates to surface temperature. This should provide a more dynamic experience overall with factors such as weather, car count, and where cars are running on the track.
- ALL Oval track configs (Asphalt, Dirt, large, small, tri-oval, etc.) now calculate drivers’ SR adjustments based on a factor of 4 corners per lap. Previously, many small Ovals were using a value of 2 corners per lap, which would make penalties more punishing for races of similar lengths than those at larger ovals. This change will help equalize the SR playing field between Oval drivers who prefer small or large oval racing.
AI Racing
- AI Racing is now available with the following new cars:
- – – Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3
- – – HPD ARX-01c
- AI Racing is now available at the following new track configurations:

Major improvements to the car included a new aerodynamics package that generated more downforce with the rear wing, a new engine intake system, and four-way adjustable dampers in the suspension. The R8 LMS Evo II showed its pace quickly in its first season, continuing a long line of successes for R8 LMS GT3 entries around the world. Highlights included three of the four fastest laps in qualifying for the Bathurst 12 Hour and continuing the brand’s long record of success in DTM by earning the 2022 manufacturer’s title with three race wins. The car remained ubiquitous toward the front of the pack in both sprint and endurance GT3 series around the world for the 2023 season.

TRACKS
————————————————————–

- NEW TRACK!
- A new asphalt road racing track, Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, is now available for purchase and racing!
- – – After half a century’s worth of events on public roads were brought to an abrupt halt in 1970, Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello was constructed in 1973 and opened a year later to bring premier racing events back to the area. It quickly became host to major sports car events, lower-level open-wheel series, and grand prix motorcycle racing, for which it has hosted the Italian motorcycle Grand Prix for the past 30 years. In the COVID-19 impacted 2020 World Driver’s Championship, it hosted the series for the first time with the Tuscan Grand Prix. Mugello features two layouts: its 3.259-mile, 15-turn Grand Prix layout, and a 1.4-mile Short configuration. Both start with its lengthy front straightaway and go into the 180-degree San Donato right-hander before heading into Luco and Poggio Secco. The track has been owned by Scuderia Ferrari since 1988, which uses it for both testing and the Ferrari Challenge Finali Mondiali; the Tuscan Grand Prix in 2020 marked its 1000th Grand Prix event.
- Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello includes two track configurations: Grand Prix & Short
- Add Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello to your virtual landscape by purchasing it from the iRacing Store!

Slinger Speedway
- NEW TRACK!
- A new asphalt oval track, Slinger Speedway, is now available for purchase and racing!
- – – Known as the “World’s Fastest Quarter Mile Oval,” Slinger, Wisconsin’s Slinger Speedway is the quintessential bullring short track. Opened in 1948, its defining characteristic is its high-banked corners, which reach an imposing 33 degrees on each end. That steep banking allows racers to post blazing fast laps, including Jeff Bloom’s 9.908-second time in 2010-the first quarter-mile oval lap record in history to break the 10-second barrier. Formerly a flat, clay track, Slinger was reconfigured for the 1974 season into its current paved and high-banked state. Its most famous race each year is the Slinger Nationals, a 200-mile Super Late Model race that has been won by some of the biggest names in short track racing and NASCAR alike; former Cup Series champion Matt Kenseth holds the record with eight wins between 1994 and 2019. Slinger also has a paved X running through its center to host Figure 8 events.
