The iRacing 2026 Season 1 build introduces a massive expansion to the track catalog. Specifically, this update features two world-class street circuits and significant visual overhauls for existing venues. These additions officially launch on December 9th, 2025.
Adelaide Street Circuit Joins the Roster
The legendary Adelaide Street Circuit is finally available for purchase. This two-mile layout features 14 unforgiving turns. Furthermore, the track includes the famous Senna Chicane and the high-speed Turn 8 sweep.
Because it is a laser-scanned version of the modern layout, every bump is accurate. Consequently, this track is a physical and mental test for every driver. AI Drivers are also ready to compete on this street circuit immediately.
Racing Around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami
Florida racing reaches a new level with the Miami International Autodrome. This semi-permanent circuit wraps directly around the Hard Rock Stadium. Additionally, iRacing included five different configurations for this venue.
- Grand Prix Circuit: The full 3.363-mile layout with 19 turns.
- Short Layouts: Includes the Marina Loop, MIA Loop, and Extended variations.
- Unique Features: The track avoids public roads and runs entirely through stadium parking lots.
Rockingham Speedway: A Modern Rescan
The Rockingham Speedway update is now complete. Specifically, iRacing performed a full rescan to capture the modern, repaved version of the oval. However, the studio preserved the historic 2012 layout as a separate configuration.
Current owners of Rockingham receive the new scan for no additional charge. Furthermore, the track is now fully AI-enabled for offline championships.
Visual Overhaul for Mount Panorama (Bathurst)
While not a full rescan, Mount Panorama received a massive visual refresh. The art team used new photogrammetry data to update the environment. As a result, the colors and textures of the “Mountain” are more vibrant than ever.
The track now runs more smoothly on modern hardware because of these optimizations. Indeed, this refresh brings one of iRacing’s most iconic venues up to current art standards.
New Dirt Road Configurations
The dirt racing community also gains two new configurations.
- Lucas Oil Speedway (Off Road): A 1.3-mile track featuring massive jumps and banked turns.
- Winton Motor Raceway (Rallycross): A new rallycross layout inspired by the real-world Australian championship.
