iRacing today announced plans to add*dirt surface race tracks and cars*to its online motorsports simulation service. *

*

According to*Steve Myers, iRacing.com's Executive Vice President and Executive Producer, the development of dirt tracks and dirt cars is the next logical step following last year's introduction of iRacing's*dynamic track*feature that sees paved track surfaces evolving during the course of races based on changing weather conditions and the virtual rubber laid down by competitors.*


Check out our video announcement here.*

*

"We are starting a*new chapter*in our long history and expanding into a new branch of motorsport - dirt," says Myers. *"With the evolution of our new surface model the next natural step was to develop a dirt surface model and dirt race cars. *

*

"We are working closely with the*University of Northwestern Ohio*and*Clint Bowyer Racing*(CBR) to create virtual dirt surfaces that match the fidelity of iRacing's paved tracks, along with a digital version of*CBR's PEAK/Crawford Supply BWRC*late model. * Speaking for everyone at iRacing, I'm really excited about this project, and I'm very optimistic that we'll be*launching*it this year." * * *

The scientist with the magnifying glass looking at the dirt made me salts.
Lol he tasted it too.

They really go all the way for these april fools. But this video is the reason our patch has been delayed for so long. hahaha

I'm surprised at the cooperation of university and racing team :D
UNOH is no joke, my first few weeks there they partnered me up with an ARCA team. Best auto school in the country if you apply yourself. SO many cool clubs aswell, autocross, 4x4, race team, race club you name it etc.

Something about this makes me think it will happen later on down the road. But for right now It's a pretty damn good joke. I've had a few friends from school ask me about if it's legit or not.

Yup. It's on front page too. I really like how they did it. It's like: "hey guys! We're doing dirt!" (On April 1st). Then on 4th, they're like: "We're really doing it!" and nobody believed them :D
