Tomorrow, iRacing will deploy its Saison 1 2026 build for the iRacing Online racing platform.
Alongside the usual list of features, fixes, and improvements, the build will also introduce exciting new track and car content. We could already check out a preview video of the new Porsche 911 Cup (992.2).
Now, iRacing posted two new videos showcasing the Lucas Oil Speedway (Dirt Road configuration) and the FIA Cross Car, which will both be part of the 2026 Season 1 update.
Lucas Oil Speedway
Wheatland, Missouri’s Lucas Oil Speedway is a motorsport playground unlike almost any other in America; from drag boats to off-road racing, the complex has it all. But none of that would’ve been possible without the opening of Wheatland Raceway as a 3/8 mile dirt oval located in a former agricultural field in 2001.
Three years later, Lucas Oil purchased the facility and rebuilt it, renovating both the track and its surrounding amenities to become one of the premier facilities in the country.
Lucas Oil Speedway’s off-road complex has long been viewed as one of the premier layouts for short course racing in America, and it’s easy to see why. Big jumps, challenging whoop sections, and even an over-under bridge make this one of the most memorable circuits most drivers will see. After an extended period of inactivity, the off-road track returned to the national calendar in 2025 as the season opener.
FIA Cross Car
Whether you’ve got dreams of reaching the top levels of global rallycross and autocross or are just looking for a fun car to sling dirt with, cross cars are especially popular options in Europe, especially among young drivers, and are gaining a foothold in America.
The FIA Cross Car represents the highest level of machinery on a thoughtfully designed ladder that allows drivers as young as six years old to start in the discipline. The top-level Cross Car produces 120 horsepower from the same 850cc Yamaha MT-09 engine that powers Legends cars the world over.
Weighing in at just 345 kilograms, that’s more than enough power for rapid lap times on tracks of all types. The car has proven itself in the FIA European Cross Car Championship with a championship at the hands of driver David Méat, and it has been a regular presence on the podium in multiple rallycross series as well.
