I don't really talk much about iRacing. It's not a platform I'm signed up to. I do, however, keep an eye on it and the new content that gets added. Yesterday, Corvette Racing announced that the new Chevrolet Corvette C8.R will be added to the platform this month. This latest-generation, mid-engined GTE car will join the BMW M8, Ferrari 488, Ford GT and Porsche 911 RSR in iRacing's GTE lineup, and will likely be a part of numerous endurance races on the platform, such as the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, Petit Le Mans and (possibly) the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
I have no doubt that the users of iRacing will be excited to get another GT car to play with, especially one that is so new. The C8.R has run six races in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and taken four victories already, so it will be taken seriously when it comes to iRacing. So, apart from iRacing, what other games/simulators does it appear in? Well, there's the recently-released Project CARS 3, which doesn't really seem to be a simulator. There's CSR Racing 2 and Real Racing 3, which are mobile games... There is a C8.R mod for Assetto Corsa, but it's a paymod from a... less-than-reputable source. The C8.R is one of my favourite race cars right now; I just hope that one of the legit groups will work on a mod for the car, and do a proper job of it...
Surprise 🎉 We've got some more content for the new season!
