Our take on iRacing Arcade
Rather than treating racing as a sequence of standalone events, the game adds a team-building layer between competitions. Resources from races can be directed toward facilities, cars, drivers, and branding, making motorsport management part of the arcade-racing structure.
What is iRacing Arcade?
Compete in a third-person arcade racer spanning multiple licensed racing categories, cars, and tracks.
Races provide resources for developing a motorsport team through buildings, new cars, drivers, and visual customizations. Buildings can provide track advantages, while recruited drivers can compete in licensed series. The game includes weekly events, online races with up to 11 other competitors, and Global Time Trials with rotating leaderboards. Its physics model supports repeated lap improvement, and the career path moves from grassroots racing toward motorsport glory. Licensed examples include the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup at Imola and GTP racing at Mexico City’s Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome.
