A new way to explore iRacing’s official racing data has arrived. The community-built site iRacingStats.net has introduced a feature called “Race Week Recaps.” It offers weekly snapshots of activity across iRacing’s official series in a clean, easy-to-read format.
Every Tuesday, a fresh recap goes live summarizing the week that just ended. All past weeks remain accessible, allowing racers to look back and compare participation over time. Together, they create an ongoing archive of car and track popularity, race entries, and global participation trends.
The developer explained on Reddit, “I usually avoid self-promoting, but I’m pretty excited about the new ‘Race Week Recaps’ section I just launched, and I thought some of you here might enjoy it.”

Weekly Insights Into iRacing’s Global Community
Each recap pulls from official iRacing sessions only, excluding private leagues. This ensures the data focuses purely on official competition. The system also uses iRacing’s new country flag data, which explains why some entries appear as “Unknown” or “iRacing” for users without a listed country.
The result is a fascinating look at the active player base. It highlights which tracks and series attract the most drivers, which regions are busiest, and how participation shifts week by week.
Community Reaction
The iRacing community has responded with enthusiasm. Reddit users praised the idea and shared several feature requests for future updates.
One comment read, “This is super cool. Would be awesome to see which races had the highest Strength of Field of the week.”
Another added, “It would be great to see how events like the Bathurst 1000 affect participation over time.”
In response, the developer confirmed that new ideas are already being considered. “Special events can really skew a week’s stats,” they said. “I’d probably need dedicated insights for those. For now, you can see some of that in the Track Stats section, which gives a general sense of participation impact.”
More Than Just Weekly Recaps
While “Race Week Recaps” is new, iRacingStats.net itself has been part of the sim racing community for years. The site provides a deep look into iRacing’s competitive structure and player behavior.
Its tools include:
- Driver Stats – track performance, iRating, and participation across all series
- Series Trends – see which classes and cars are most active
- Track Stats – how often each venue appears in official races
- License and Safety Data – showing how racers are distributed across iRacing’s ranks
Together, these insights help racers, league organizers, and broadcasters better understand the sim’s competitive ecosystem.
A Step Forward for iRacing Data Fans
The new weekly recap feature gives iRacingStats a narrative edge. Instead of just charts and numbers, it tells the story of what’s happening on the sim each week. Fans can now follow how car popularity evolves, which regions are most active, or how participation changes after each new build.
For anyone who enjoys digging into the numbers behind iRacing, “Race Week Recaps” adds one more powerful layer to an already indispensable site.
