iRacing’s pro-level IndyCar championship launches, with 50k on the line

33 of the world’s best iRacing IndyCar drivers will duke it out for virtual championship glory and a share of a $50,000 prize pool.

Following the return of an official IndyCar licence to the platform and a series of qualifying races across multiple splits, the final grid has been determined ahead of a 10-round sim racing championship.

Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup champions Jordan Caruso and Diogo C. Pinto have both qualified alongside 2021 Dallara iRacing World Champion Peter Berryman.

Real-world competitor Cooper Webster has also made the cut – the Australian finished second in the GB4 Championship last season and won the 2023 F4 Indian Championship.

Venues used in the competition include Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Long Beach, Laguna Seca and the ninth round a fan-selected venue.

From the prize pool, the drivers’ champion will take home $20,000 when the series concludes in November. Each race will be broadcast live on iRacing channels.
