The Treq eSports team will join next seasons International Virtual Racing Association league on iRacing. We’ll drive in the ClubSport category with the soon-to-be-released Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car (the 992).

LIVE STEWARDING AND RACE CONTROL

In contrast to the official iRacing series, the IVRA league features live stewarding during race events. This adds an extra layer of realism to the sim, and even more clean racing than iRacing already has to offer. Race Control will hand out penalties to drivers who fail to drive in a clean, fair manner, who act recklessly, or otherwise affect the spirit of competition within the series. It’s also not allowed to press escape and teleport back to the pits when you wreck your car: You first have to make sure it is parked in a safe spot and then wait for a yellow flag situation and a signal from Race Control for further action. RC can also call out a Safety Car if things appear too unsafe for others. Apart from extra realism, this also adds tons of variables to account for in strategic decisions.
