🏒 iRacing 2026 Season 3
iRacing’s free-to-try system rotates which series use included content each week. Not every week looks like this. This week, however, the schedule lands with unusually broad coverage. You get road, formula, oval, dirt oval, and dirt road disciplines all represented. Because of that variety, there is an entry point for almost any license level or driving preference.
Road racing has the most to offer. The Global Mazda MX-5 Cup runs in a Rookie series at Summit Point Raceway. It is a 12-minute race that fires every 30 minutes. It is also one of the most active options for new racers on the service. The MX-5 additionally appears at Okayama International Circuit in the Production Car Challenge by Sim-Lab and the Production Endurance Challenge. The Toyota GR86 joins it in both of those Okayama series.
The BMW M2 Racing (G87) is free to try this week as well. It is one of Season 3’s brand-new cars, and it runs a dedicated Rookie series at Summit Point alongside a BMW M2 Cup. It also joins the MX-5 and GR86 in both multiclass series at Okayama. Running all three production cars in the same field at Okayama is the highlight of the road racing side this week. In addition, the Kia Optima and Cadillac CTS-V Racecar appear in the Global Sports Car Challenge by Fanatec at Okayama, giving D-license road racers even more options.
On the open-wheel side, four FIA Formula 4 series are free this week. The Esports Regional Tours cover America at Lime Rock Park Classic, Asia Pacific at Tsukuba Circuit, and Europe at Snetterton 300. The FIA Formula 4 Challenge Fixed also runs at Summit Point Raceway.
The F4 car is included for members who joined through iRacing’s FIA introductory deal. However, if you joined before that deal was available, those four series will not apply to you. Two other formula options are free regardless. The Formula Vee Classic runs at Lime Rock’s Grand Prix layout, and the Ray FF1600 appears in the Formula 1600 Rookie Series at the same track.
The oval side is smaller but covers the three rookie series that most new members start with. The Legends Ford ’34 Coupe runs the Rookie Legends Cup at Concord Speedway. The Mini Stock Rookie Series runs at Southern National Motorsports Park. The Rookie Street Stock Series runs there as well. If you are building your way up the oval ladder, these are your races this week regardless of the free schedule.
Dirt oval has solid coverage. Limaland Motorsports Park hosts the Dirt Legends Cup with the ’34 Coupe. Meanwhile, USA International Speedway covers both the Dirt Mini Stock Rookie Series and the DIRTcar Street Stock Rookie. Lanier National Speedway adds four more: the DIRTcar Class C Street Stock series, the Micro Winged Sprint Car Rookie, the Micro Non-Wing Sprint Car Rookie, and the Outlaw Micro Showdown.
Dirt road and rallycross round out the week with four entries. The FIA Cross Car Championship and the VW Beetle Lite iRX Rookie both run at Daytona Rallycross. The Pro 2 Lite Off-Road Rookie Series runs at Wild West Motorsports Park. Additionally, the legacy VW Beetle Rallycross Fixed series runs at Phoenix Raceway’s 2008 layout.
To find these in the member site, go to the Race screen and filter for free content. Most sessions fire throughout the day. The Production Endurance Challenge is the exception. It is a two-hour race with three set start times per week. Therefore, plan around that one in advance if it interests you.
Week 4 runs through July 13. All 26 of these series are available now, and this is one of the better free weeks of Season 3 so far.
