The latest update, iRacing 2021 Season 3 Patch 4, has now been released, and it’s a fairly small 87Mb download for you to install before a weekend of sim racing.
Most changes are to the UI, but the big news is that the Old Damage Model has been re-enabled for the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (991) to apparently take advantage of some updates and improvements. So be aware if you’re planning on taking the German racing car out for some virtual motorsport (including the current qualifying series for the 2022 Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup).
Other than that, it’s all fairly minor fixes, although you can finally buy tracks directly from the new UI series schedules. Which should save a bit of time and effort to make sure you have the right circuits available for each championship.
