Yet another new update for the increasingly popular iRacing platform has been released - introducing patch 6 for the 2020 season 2 build of the simulation.
Another hotfix update rather than full blown new build release, patch 6 for iRacing recently deployed on the Steam platform complete with a range of small, and not so small fixes and improvements for the title.
Of the more noteworthy aspects of the latest build is the inclusion of Lime Rock Park amongst the growing list of AI enabled circuits within the sim. Adding another new track AI feature was somewhat unexpected at this point in development, and will no doubt be well received by the iRacing community who enjoying taking their racing experience offline on occasion.
Other changes include the now customary tweaks to various cars and tracks within the game, as well as additional support for Fanatec peripherals.
Update Notes:
AI Racing
Dallara IR18
Dover International Speedway
iRacing is available now exclusively for PC.

Update Notes:
AI Racing
- Lime Rock Park – Grand Prix is now available for AI Racing!
- A new parameter, “joyEnableVibrateThrottleWithPedal=1” has been added to the “[Force Feedback]” section of the “app.ini” file.
– – When set to “0”, this parameter disables the vibration motors on a Fanatec throttle pedal. - Users now have the option to offset the position of n-position rotary switches so you can more easily match the numbers on your knob to the numbers shown on screen.
– – When recalibrating you can now choose to offset the value by +/- 1. This offset is relative to the first position on the switch and not the numbers that may be painted on it. So, a +1 offset would output 1 for the first position rather than 0.
Dallara IR18
- Season setup for Iowa Speedway – Oval has been updated.
- Various audio for this vehicle has been improved, including On-board engine sounds, starter and ignition sounds, and gear shift compressor sounds.
- Vehicle artwork has been updated to utilize the 2020 Season contingency decals package.
- Tire model has been updated.
– – Our primary goal with these changes is to have the tires come in much more quickly from cold, eliminating the need for tire warmers. Also, we have targeted a more realistic, and quite low, degradation over the course of a run.
- A Ford logo has been added to the dashboard.
- Engine airflow to the radiator at tracks over a mile long has been increased.
Dover International Speedway
- SAFER barriers have been added on the straights.
- Driving Line Guide has been updated.
- Some advertisements have been updated.
- Some advertisements have been updated.
- A gap in the back-straight wall has been fixed.
- Some fences have been updated.
