INDYCAR, iRacing, and ButtKicker have announced the creation of the inaugural INDYCAR ButtKicker iRacing Pro Series, scheduled to start in September with a $50,000 prize pool. The series will feature top open-wheel sim racers competing in races broadcast live on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET via iRacing and IndyCar social channels. iRacing’s President mentioned that this partnership reflects the growing interest in IndyCar eSports, providing an exciting campaign for 2024. The new series is a result of a recent licensing agreement between iRacing and IndyCar, expanding their collaboration beyond the popular iRacing Indy 500 event. Qualifying rounds for the series will take place in July and August, with more details on schedules to be released soon. The partnership aims to bring the thrill of IndyCar racing to the virtual world and introduce new racing heroes to fans.
