iRacing have deployed a new hotfix build to the simulation following the recent Season 1 Update build release.
The big new AI introducing, Australian Supercar updating, fresh track releasing, swanky paint job creating 'Season 1 2020 Update' build of iRacing dropped back on 4th December, like usual it was massive - three posts worth of text massive, and unsurprisingly a few little gremlins crept in as part of the new build - hence hotfix update 1 is now in the wild. Sit back and prepare to spend some time waiting for downloads to complete next time you try and load up the sim..!
Hilariously sizeable for a hotfix (man, I love iRacing updates - this is how you update a sim racing game!) - check out the change log notes below:
Hotfix 1 Notes:
BETA Interface
Dallara F3
TRACKS:
Atlanta Motor Speedway
iRacing is available exclusively on PC now.
