Rain coming to iRacing in the March 2024 build.

It's official, we're all about to lose gross amounts of SR and IR, rain is here for better or worse.

To Quote iRacing, "To help set expectations, it is important to understand that the rain in iRacing does not operate like what sim racers and racing gamers have experienced in racing video games and simcade racing titles. This is rain done the iRacing way; a true-to-life dynamic simulation of the multitude of physical and environmental factors experienced in racing in the rain, and how water interacts with both the racetrack and the tires of your race car. "




Very much like the initial release of AI, rain is coming to limited series and will expand as time goes on. In this release expect "Day 1 list of rain-supported cars to include our 11-car field of endurance cars (GT3, GTP, LMP2), plus the Ray FF1600, Toyota GR86, and the FIA F4."

...and yes, there will be rain in Endurance.

The March build for iRacing is bringing with it a lot of changes, read about them here.

There's a lot of good things they've mentioned on the way.

They touched on graphic fidelity changes in the pipeline, complete rebuild of in-Sim UI, improvements in performance, memory utilization, and multithreading, slow implementation of 3D curbs across all tracks, more free content (unfortunately Snottertown is part of this), etc.



...and no upcoming price increases, all good things.

The Porsche 992 Cup car should definitely be the next car to get rain enabled:
How the Porkup wasn't in the first wave of cara to get the update is criminal. It makes me rethink all the nice things I've said on stream about the iRacing devs, ever.. ridiculous.
