It only seems right that the follow-up to last week’s post regarding the cars would be to talk about all of the tracks currently available in iRacing Arcade.
It also makes sense that like the cars, these tracks have been miniaturized and cute-aturized as a result to provide a fun playground to scrap in throughout a player’s playthrough of the game. There are 12 officially licensed venues included currently, with two fantasy tracks to compete on as well that harken back to the Circuit Superstars title from a few years back.
These tracks pair nicely with the car selection, each offering varying levels of difficulty at any point. Last week, alongside the Caterham 7 addition, five new layouts were added to the fold to give players 19 different options to race upon throughout all game modes.
14 UNIQUE TRACKS, 19 LAYOUTS
Throughout an iRacing Arcade Career, players will compete across all 14 of the tracks for points towards potential championships. While all of the tracks have their own flair, certain cars might feel perfect for a particular track. Other tracks might force players to lock in to grab that perfect line, avoiding the barriers, off-tracks, and opponents.
The tracks included in the game as of today are:
- Motorland Aragon & Motorland Aragon (Reverse)
- Barber Motorsports Park
- Imola
- Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit
- Maple Ridge [Fantasy]
- Miami International Autodrome
- Sugar Hill & Sugar Hill (Reverse) [Fantasy]
- Tsukuba Circuit & Tsukuba Circuit (Reverse)
- Bahrain International Circuit & Bahrain International Circuit (Short)
- Lime Rock Park
- Knockhill Racing Circuit & Knockhill Racing Circuit (Reverse)
- Circuit Paul Ricard
- Sachsenring
- Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit
WHERE IN YOUR CAREER WILL YOU RACE AT?
The tracks found early in the Career, during the Fiat 500 Challenge, IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, and Formula Junior Cup, include Sugar Hill, Maple Ridge, Knockhill Racing Circuit, Lime Rock Park, and Tsukuba Circuit. While Bahrain is more of an intermediate course, it does appear on the Formula Junior Cup schedule.
Moving into the midsection of the calendar, Bahrain International Circuit becomes more prevalent in the FIA F4 Challenge, Caterham Academy, and Porsche Cup schedules, as does Motorland Aragon, Imola, Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, and the Sachsenring, while also still taking on the earlier tracks, but now in faster and more difficult cars.
Towards the end of the Career progression, in the Cosworth Cup, the VP Racing Sportscar Challenge, and the IMSA Sportscar Championships, tracks such as Miami International Autodrome, Barber Motorsports Park, Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit, and Circuit Paul Ricard join the fray, these tracks most definitely testing each player’s wit with fast straights, sharp corners, and tons of places to completely junk it.
Now, if Arcaders want to get a head start on learning these harder tracks before finding them in their Career, all tracks come already unlocked in Free Play and Multiplayer game modes. There are also Time Attacks that feature a car and track combination where all players can try to put their name on the leaderboards. You may have noticed a nod to those Time Attacks in every single one of these Career Mode walkthroughs so far…
