Once a player has a rookie account, he can try out the cars and tracks. In order to get the full iRacing experience, players have to pay a higher fee. iRacing has a ranking system of license ladders (A, B, C, D, or Rookie-level). iRacing includes NASCAR, dirt, rallycross, and more races.
iRacing Season 5 release date
Every three months, iRacing releases a brand new Build of the sim. Each iRacing Build is a comprehensive quarterly update of the sim that includes new and updated car and track content, adjustments to the driving experience, and additional features in the sim. Each calendar year features four seasons.
The Builds happen regularly every three months and are deployed on the first or second week of March, June, September, and December (typically on a Tuesday or Wednesday). Therefore, it is safe to assume that the Season 5 Update Build of iRacing arrives in December.
