The Chili Bowl in iRacing features a single indoor dirt oval configuration, modeled directly after the temporary track built each year in the Tulsa Expo Center.
Characteristics
- Short bullring size: At roughly 1/5 mile, it is one of the smallest ovals in iRacing.
- Indoor environment: A unique enclosed setting with stadium-style atmosphere.
- Clay surface: Carefully prepared to create evolving grooves and slicks.
- Tight corners: Force constant braking and throttle modulation.
- Packed racing: Cars are rarely more than a few feet apart, creating nonstop action.
Racing Style
The Chili Bowl in iRacing demands quick reflexes and precision. The races are short, chaotic, and filled with constant slide jobs. Drivers must adapt to the evolving surface, stay clean in traffic, and make decisive moves to advance through heats and into the feature—mirroring the real-world event’s intensity.
