The Dallara IR-01 launches in iRacing, introducing a one-of-a-kind open-wheel design built exclusively for the sim. Unlike most iRacing cars, which replicate real-world machines, the IR-01 is a collaboration between iRacing and Dallara to create a modern, high-performance single-seater that blends cutting-edge design with raw, driver-focused racing.
A Unique Concept
The IR-01 is designed to showcase what modern open-wheel racing could be without restrictive technical regulations. Free from hybrid systems, weight penalties, or development freezes, it delivers a purist’s vision of Formula racing: lightweight, powerful, and uncompromising.

- Date Released: December 2020 (iRacing 2021 Season 1 build)

The release of the IR-01 represents iRacing’s bold step into original content creation, giving members an open-wheel machine designed for pure competition in the virtual world.
