iRacing’s 2026 Season 2 build adds a feature to Solo AI Race events that anyone who runs AI racing will immediately appreciate: when you exit a session before all AI drivers have crossed the finish line, the remaining results are now automatically simulated and scored. The event still counts.
Before this update, if you left a Solo AI Race at any point before every AI driver completed their final lap, the session would simply not score. It was treated as if the race never happened. For shorter events, this was a manageable inconvenience. For longer AI races, like endurance events where you might need to step away mid-session, it was a genuine problem. A three-hour AI race with no result if something interrupts you is a hard sell.
The new automatic event completion feature removes that problem entirely. When you exit a Solo AI Race session, iRacing simulates the remaining portion of the event and generates a full finishing order. This happens regardless of where you are in the race, whether you’ve finished your own race or not. You’ll have a proper result waiting when the session wraps up.
This applies specifically to Solo AI Race events, not multiplayer sessions or other session types. For anyone who uses AI racing for practice, entertainment, or offline endurance racing, it’s a straightforward quality-of-life improvement that makes the format more viable for longer events.
