After a small delay pushed its original release date into the new year, iRacing Arcade — the fun-sized arcade racer from iRacing Studios and Original Fire Games — is finally available on PC.
Players will find themselves starting at the bottom of the racing ladder and working their way upward to the higher disciplines, including the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and the IMSA/WEC Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) classes.
Despite its “over-the-top” appeal, players may find iRacing Arcade putting on a serious face more than the name might suggest. Realistic fuel burn and tire wear will be two aspects players will have to contend with, and then there’s the aspect of building a racing empire.
Players will be responsible for building their own ideal base of operations that will include garages, engine and chassis shops, and R&D buildings, all for the purpose of having an advantage on-track.
The pocket-sized racer features a total of 14 racing venues, 12 of which are officially licensed circuits. The remaining two are Maple Ridge and Sugar Hill, returning fictional locales from Circuit Superstars, the Vancouver-based studio’s previous effort.
Its car list is an eclectic mixture of city cars, open-wheelers and endurance prototypes spanning across several racing disciplines. Here’s the complete list of content on offer:
