In the first gravel rally of the year, Solberg was forced to retire with a broken driveshaft but restarted, taking a 30 minute penalty, to finish 12th and score a vital manufacturers championship point.

The result puts Subaru in 2nd position in the manufacturer championship, joint with Citroen, with Solberg 5th in the drivers’ standings.

To support these new race classes the player will be offered the choice between one- or two-race-format. Also the highly detailed damage system from RACE is adapted to give the Formula cars the vulnerability they have in real life.

Justin Wilson, F1 and Indy Car Driver
“Accuracy is the most important thing. In the iRacing simulation, the corner spacing and radii are exactly right. Bumps, camber changes, curbing, changes in surface all have an influence on the optimal line, and iRacing has that level of detail. It’s great for learning tracks and cars, but even if you already know a track, you can refresh yourself, so you’re not spending the first session getting up to speed. You can attack straight away.”
