iRacing 2020 Season 3 Patch 5 is available to download now. And probably the biggest news is that it includes the new NASCAR Road Layout for Daytona International Speedway.
The new configuration was only revealed a few days ago for the real world NASCAR event taking place at Daytona on August 15th and 16th, 2020. So it’s pretty impressive that you can try out the new layout in iRacing, which mainly adds a chicane at the exit of Turn 4 on the oval to help slow speeds down before entering the infield section.
More NASCAR and Daytona releated updates apply to the Cup Series Toyota Camry, Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaero ZX1. Plus some reassuring news for drivers in the 1987 NASCAR Chevrolet and Ford as there’s now less chance of ‘the rear axle popping out of place’.
