iRacing 2021 Season 3 Patch 3 And Hotfix Released

Last updated on July 19th, 2021 at 01:54 pm

Some small updates arrive with the iRacing 2021 Season 3 Patch 3 and hotfix released to download for the sim racing service. There are a number of base set-ups receiving some improvements, and tweaks to the Lanier National Speedway and Weedsport Speedway, but the main changes are for racers competing in Time Attack Competitions.

The big differences will be that qualifying conduct scrutiny may come into effect when you’re trying to post your fastest laps, and receiving a 0x from wall contact will now invalidate your times as it should. So you’ll need to be a bit more careful in exploiting the limits.

iRacing 2021 Season 3 Patch 3 Release Notes:

iRACING UI:

Navigation

• When a navigation request is made to the iRacing application while it is already open, such as a URL that opens a particular Time Attack Competition, the application now loads the requested path.

The Pace Car Driver will no longer drive through barriers and the infield, but will instead take an extra lap before leaving the pits – this leaves drivers one less lap to form-up before pitting.
