The NTT IndyCar Series and iRacing have announced a licensing agreement between the two parties that will see IndyCar return
iRacing has reached an agreement with IndyCar to include the DW12 Dallara chassis and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in their online racing platform. This allows for the return of the iRacing Indianapolis 500 and other virtual events that replicate real-world races. The agreement comes after Motorsport Games’ licensed IndyCar video game was suspended due to a breach of agreement. IndyCar subsequently rescinded their exclusive license agreement with the video game company and reassigned it to iRacing. President of iRacing, Tony Gardner, expressed his excitement in bringing these events back to the iRacing community, stating that there is no better way for fans to experience sim racing. iRacing customers will have access to IndyCar and IMS for private leagues and official events. The branding of products within the simulator will be updated, and details about an officially-sanctioned iRacing Indianapolis 500 will be announced later this month. IndyCar is thrilled about the licensing agreement with iRacing, as it provides their avid gamers and fans with full access to the IndyCar Series for years to come.
