Tulsa Expo Raceway, the home of the renowned Lucas Oil Chilli Bowl Nationals has been confirmed as under development for the iRacing online simulation.
With a focus very much on the loose surface side of racing in recent months, iRacing.com have recently confirmed that work is underway by the American development team to bring a laser scanned version of the Tulsa Expo Raceway dirt oval to the simulation this year, with the developers actively collecting data ahead of a proposed 2018 release to the iRacing title.
On the latest announcement iRacing Executive Vice-President Steve Myers confirmed the circuit will be added following a high level of requests from the often vocal iRacing community:
“Just last month we released Christopher Bell’s dirt Midget to iRacing members and they have been asking, no begging, us to add the Chili Bowl". “Obviously this has been in the works for a while now so it was hard to not tell them it was coming. I know they will be as excited about this announcement as I am.”
“It really says something when iRacing goes to a NASCAR weekend and is asked over and over when the Chili Bowl is going to be added. We don’t go a day it seems without someone asking or mentioning the Chili Bowl being added to iRacing on our Social Media channels so for us to finally be able to make this announcement, we just have to say thank you to everyone who made the Chili Bowl a top request," added Bryan Hulbert, Chili Bowl publicist. “It’s very impressive what iRacing has created, and we’re excited to be involved.”
