- iRacing subscription costs to increase from 18th August 2026 - Players can still renew early before the changes come into effect iRacing has announced today that it will increase subscription costs for new and current players across the board. It’s only the second occasion since 2008 that iRacing subscription costs have risen, with the new price structure set to come into effect from the 18th of August 2026.
