While iRacing announced early in 2022 rain was being worked on, no ETA was given at the time, with the developer stating they wanted to "make sure it's right". But an accidental leak on their side during a maintenance period seems to indicate the feature's release is getting closer.
While the service was down, an UI box allowing you to select wet tyres was available in local practice sessions. It was however quickly removed through a hotfix right after. This is a positive sign showing progress is made, and backs up Anthony Gardner's declaration that the feature would be coming this year in an interview given to french paper magazine Les Légendes du Jeu Vidéo.
While the perspective of rain in a sim that is known for being already quite sensitive to drive on dry surfaces might give the chills to some drivers, seeing how intense a race can turn out to be when the weather decides to damp the track should make the endurance events pretty exciting to race and watch, if the Gran Turismo World Finals are any indicator to go by.
