It is expected to leverage assets from the main iRacing simulation, which has recently updated several IndyCar elements, such as the hybrid system, the NXT support category, a new version of Barber Motorsports Park and the St. Petersburg venue. An exact release date is not yet known, but the series claims it will launch “in the countdown to the 2027 Indianapolis 500.” The world-renowned race will take place on 30th May 2027. “This is a project our team has been passionate about for a long time,” said Tony Gardner, iRacing president. “We’re bringing everything we know about authentic, immersive racing to consoles and PC, and creating an experience worthy of the INDYCAR name. 2027 can’t come soon enough.” It was originally slated for a 2026 release. It’s not clear if the game will represent the 2026 season, the 2027 season, or both. An accompanying image for the game showcases Pato O’Ward’s #5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet and Álex Palou’s #10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda in this year’s colours. The game will be released for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Discussion 0 Comments Join the discussion Join Traxion.gg to start discussing with members. Already a member? Sign in
- Sabelt and PXN are set to attend SimRacing Expo Frankfurt this October - Sim Motion, SimUltimate, Race Bear, Wolf Racing, MAXMORE and Pokornyi Engineering also confirmed - Event takes place 16th-18th October at Frankfurt Messe, Hall 12 Sabelt and PXN have both announced they will exhibit at this year’s SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, joining a growing legion of hardware specialists in the process. Sabelt is perhaps best known as a car seat manufacturer synonymous with top-class motorsport products, including seat belts and race suits, but in 2023 the Italian firm branched out into sim racing with its S, P, and X Series range of cockpits. It will showcase its lineup of seats, cockpits and other sim racing accessories in Hall 12 of the Frankfurt Messe complex between the 16th and the 18th of October, with Chinese brand PXN also set to attend. PXN, which also appeared at the recent SimRacing Expo Charlotte event, produces a wide range of sim racing hardware, from direct drive wheelbases to shifters and even flight simulator equipment.

- 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. However, up until this date, new and returning customers can extend their subscription period by up to two years, which will roll over beyond the projected end date of their current deal. Once this runs out, however, the new pricing will apply, meaning a one-month subscription will increase by $1.75 to $14.75, while a 24-month subscription will increase by $23.50 to $222.50. Thankfully, car and track content pricing remains unaffected for the moment, with iRacing still offering more than 30 cars and more than 25 tracks as base content. Value The U.S.-based sim’s pricing structure has been a hot topic for several years, with many virtual drivers extolling the virtues of its peerless online matchmaking services. Others, however, point to its comparatively high content prices and the requirement for a subscription to access purchased content as major drawbacks.

The 2026 Porsche Esports Supercup is well underway with the Regional Championships, as the best talent fights for the big prize: Taking their racing career from sim to asphalt. The best sim racers from across the world are battling it out in the Porsche 911 Cup in the hope of reaching the World Championships, taking place later this year. Over 100 drivers qualified for the Regional Championships, which will take place across four regions: Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle East-Africa. Several races have already taken place, with plenty of thrilling action to kick off this year’s Porsche Esports Supercup. The qualifying phase There has been a significant increase in participation in 2026, with over 2,000 drivers participating in the qualification races. A total of 504 drivers can be considered active, having earned enough points to be listed in the official iRacing statistics. Of these, 263 are from Europe, 161 from the Americas, 68 from the Asia-Pacific region, and 12 from the Middle East and Africa. In terms of performance, drivers from Europe achieved the highest average points overall. Drivers could qualify for the Regional Championships via either the National Championships, organised by official national Porsche markets, or the Global Open Qualifier (GOQ). This year, the top three drivers from each National Championship, including the Porsche Esports Carrera Cup North America, Great Britain, and the Porsche Esports Endurance Trophy Nürburgring, were eligible to qualify for the Regional Championship. Drivers who did not qualify via their national series, or who come from regions without a National Championship, were able to take part in the GOQ to secure a place in the Regional Championship. A total of 108 participants ultimately qualified for the Regional Championships. This includes 32 drivers each from Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific, as well as 12 participants from the
Price hikes are never a welcome sight in the sim racing community, but they are a reality of modern gaming. For only the second time in its nearly 20-year history, iRacing has officially announced an update to its subscription pricing, set to take effect on August 18, 2026. While any increase in cost can cause some grumbles in the paddock, the good news is that there are ways to manage the impact, and some key aspects of the service are remaining untouched. Let’s break down exactly what is changing, why it is happening, and how you can save some cash before the new rates kick in. The New iRacing Subscription Prices (August 2026) Starting August 18, 2026, subscription rates for direct iRacing accounts will increase across all billing cycles. Here is a direct comparison of the current pricing versus the new rates: | Subscription Tier | Current Price | New Price (As of Aug 18, 2026) | Difference ($) | Increase (%) | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 Month | $13.00 | $14.75 | +$1.75 | 13.46% | | 3 Months | $33.00 | $37.50 | +$4.50 | 13.64% | | 12 Months | $110.00 | $124.50 | +$14.50 | 13.18% | | 24 Months | $199.00 | $222.50 | +$23.50 | 11.81% | Note: These changes reflect direct iRacing account pricing. If you run iRacing through Steam, you can expect your local prices to increase at a similar rate around the same date. What Is (and Isn’t) Changing? The most important detail for active iRacers is that pricing for individual cars and tracks is not changing. The cost of purchasing new content remains exactly where it is. For those who already own a healthy library of content, your ongoing cost will only be affected by the base subscription fee. Additionally, if

Where to find the Ito region Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6 Track down the one correct beach on the island. It's Spring in Forza Horizon 6 Series 2, so we've got another treasure chest to find. While last week sent us into the snowy hills of Sotoyama, this week's Ito region Treasure Hunt calls for a beach day. Finding the specific beach you need on the islands of Japan, you know, where there are tons of beaches, isn't easy. Here's where you need to go. Forza Horizon 6 Ito region Treasure Hunt location This week's Festival Playlist Treasure Hunt chest is in Ito, on the beach at the northeast tip of the region, past the coastal town of Ine—you can see the white and blue sign on your map. It's basically as northeast as you can travel in the region, and there are no major events around here, just a billboard. Simply: - Travel to the coastal town of Ine in the north of Ito—this is where the Moto Auto Zine story missions take place. - Take the road northeast up the narrow coastline on the right side of the harbour. - Drive onto the sand and up to the northern tip, where you'll see the chest. - Crash into the Treasure Hunt chest to smash it, completing the challenge. As always, you'll earn three Festival Playlist points, 5,000 XP, and 100,000 credits, which is a good reward for such a quick diversion. This week, those Festival Playlist points go towards the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R and the 2017 Saleen S7 LM, which is much more exciting than last week's trucks to be sure. You should also grab the last few points to unlock the Series 2 milestone rewards, the 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau and the 2018

This week’s new Online Time Trial isn’t doing itself any favors on variety. Gran Turismo 7 sends the McLaren 650S Gr.4 back to Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, running with High Speed BOP on Racing Hard tires with specified settings. Of course, it’s not necessarily a bad combo. The 650S is one of the more forgiving Gr.4 cars in GT7, and Spa rewards exactly that kind of easy confidence through its faster sections. The problem is timing: this is now the second active online event asking players to set laps at Spa-Francorchamps, running alongside the Mercedes-AMG Virtual Championship that still has over a week left. Fortunately, the flat-out run through Eau Rouge and Raidillon remains one of the most demanding sequences in racing, and the lap’s blind crests and elevation changes punish anything less than full commitment. It’s just a lot of the same scenery for GT7’s time trial specialists. There’s also a week left on last week’s event, which drops the Aston Martin DB11 ’16 onto Autódromo de Interlagos on Sports Medium tires. That one closes July 16. GT7 Lap Time Challenge – July 9 - Track: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps - Car: McLaren 650S Gr.4 - Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (High Speed) - Tires: Racing Hard - Settings: Specified GT7 Lap Time Challenge – July 2 - Track: Autódromo de Interlagos - Car: Aston Martin DB11 ’16 - Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (Mid Speed) - Tires: Sports Medium - Settings: Fixed Mercedes-AMG Virtual Championship: 10 Days Left to Qualify The Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Virtual Championship is heading into its final stretch of qualifying. The way into the GT7 field is still a single hot lap in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 ’20 at Spa-Francorchamps on Racing Soft tires, and that window closes July 20 (10 days left as of publication). The quickest qualifiers go straight to
With involvement in seven different racing series that touch 26 states and seven countries, the sun never sets at Rick Ware Racing (RWR). Rick Ware’s eponymous team competes on a world tour, fielding entries in the NASCAR Cup Series, NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, HOT ROD Drag Week, Progressive American Flat Track (AFT), FIM World Supercross Championship, zMAX CARS Tour and eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series. It’s a cornucopia of motorsports that covers ovals, road courses, dragstrips, dirt tracks, supercross tracks and sim speedways, involves racecars and motorcycles, and spans multiple genres, from grassroots to racing’s pinnacle. “There’s a business reason we’re involved in so many different forms of motorsports,” said Ware, who formed RWR in 1995. “Our partners don’t just get one race team or one series. They get a platform that reaches different audiences in different markets throughout the year. That gives them more opportunities to engage customers, entertain guests and maximize their investment.” RWR’s international footprint begins Aug. 8 with the World Supercross season opener at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The global dirt-bike racing series hopscotches across five continents and features top riders competing on supercross-style circuits inside the stadiums of major cities. World Supercross’ six-event schedule continues into mid-December, giving RWR a competitive presence every month of the year except January. “Our schedule doesn’t have much of an offseason, and that’s by design,” Ware said. “Every week, we’re racing somewhere in the world, and that creates tremendous value for partners like Super.com and Rocket Doctor. Whether we’re at a NASCAR race, an NHRA event, a dirt track for AFT, inside a stadium for World Supercross or even online through eNASCAR, our partners have a consistent presence in front of passionate fans all year long.” RWR’s eclectic lineup deserves an eclectic ambassador.
