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.
