iRacing 2022 Season 1 Patch 4 Released

February 16, 2022 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

Some changes have arrived for the NASCAR NEXT Gen cars in the run-up to the annual Daytona 500 event and the NASCAR Cup Series season, with iRacing 2022 Season 1 Patch 4 released. It’s relatively small compared to the previous patch earlier this month, and focuses on the world of oval racing.

There are visual updates for the NEXT Gen and Xfinity class cars to match what you’ll see on track. And these include the windshield scoop, grille area and spoilers for the neweer NEXT Gen examples. More notably, the iRacing set-ups have been updated, and both front and rear springs will no longer coil bind.

For less regular oval racers, coild bind refers to a set-up which has very soft springs for the front suspension, with much harder examples at the rear, which mean the downforce generated at the end of a straight should increase the weight of the car until the suspension is fully compressed and binds. This keeps the front of the car as low as possibe, creating a result similar to ground effect. The result is faster lap times, but it makes cars much more sensitive to turbulence.
