WATCH: iRacing Season 1 2025 Update Hands-on With Emily


The 2025 Season 1 update for iRacing is here, so it is time to dive into the most important additions to find out if the sim is ready for 2025.

Plenty of new content, new features and adjustments - as always, the latest iRacing update is packed to the brim. How does Season 1 2025 look in action, though? @Emily Jones took a closer look for us - check out the video above for her hands-on experience with the latest iRacing update.

The highlights of the update include the Ferrari 499P hypercar, The Acura NSX GT3 EVO 22 and the pair of Gen 3 Australian Supercars, as well as Thruxton Circuit, among a lot of other things. To see the full changelog, feel free to click here!


Interestingly, the GTP class seems to be too fast in the latest iRacing build - and by quite a lot, too. For instance, streamer Pablo Araujo posted a comparison video of the Ferrari 499P tackling the Porsche Curves at Le Mans - and the difference in entry speed is staggering.

As iRacing still has not implemented the correct hybrid systems for the contemporary crop of hypercars, this might be part of the issue - but the big difference is unlikely to be explained by just that. GTP being one of the more popular classes on the service, this is likely something that iRacing will work hard to fix as quickly as possible.

The most simulative and realistic of sims (according to some) does not correspond to reality?
