On a souvent reproché à iRacing de ne proposer que des contenus très "américains", iRacing.com corrige cependant le tir au fil des années. C'est encore le cas avec l'annonce du mythique, et tout à fait européen, circuit italien de Monza pour la simulation !

Un tracé que l'équipe de développement passera bientôt à la technologie de scannérisation par laser pour une mise à disposition prévue l'été prochain.

A suivre, aussi...

iRacing.com vient d'annoncer l'ajout prochain de la Holden Commodore à sa simulation.

A l'image du championnat australien V8 Supercars, la Holden Commodore rejoindra donc la Ford Falcon déjà présente depuis quelques années dans la simulation. Les grilles de départ du championnat réel ont été remplie pendant longtemps par ces deux marques, dommage il en manquera pour reproduire la saison 2013 puisque Mercedes et Nissan rejoingent la danse... 

iRacing.com prévoit une mise à disposition pour le début de l'été 2014.

A suivre...
