Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 3.5 coming to iRacing

The iRacing licensing team is working overtime. Only a week ago, iRacing officially licensed the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe to become part of the iRacing Online Simulator track portfolio.

Today iRacing.com announced that the Formula Renault 2.0 and the Formula Renault 3.5 will be added to the list of featured cars. The development team already received the CAD data of the Formula Renault 2.0 and started work on the game model. No scheduled release date is mentioned yet.

The single seat Formula Renault class was founded in 1971 as an entry-level series to motor racing and as a stepping stone to the more advanced racing series such as Formula 3, World Series by Renault 3.5, GP2 and ultimately Formula One. On the iRacing platform, the Formula Renault’s will be used for the exact same purpose, creating a class ladder for sim racers to climb.

“It is great to partner with Renault to bring both the Formula Renault 2.0 and 3.5 to iRacing,” said Steve Myers, Executive Vice-President and Executive Producer at iRacing.com. “We have been looking to round out the open wheel racing options on iRacing for some time now and these two cars fit the bill perfectly. Just like in the real world you will see iRacers progress through these series on their way to the top series in the sim racing world – the iRacing World Championship Grand Prix Series where drivers compete for more the $10,000 in cash and prizes.”
