What you need to know to get started in iRacing

iRacing is experiencing a lot of growth and time in the spotlight in 2020. Here's how to get started in the PC-based sim for yourself.

The lack of real motorsport for most of 2020 has sent drivers and fans alike in search of a new fix. Enter iRacing. The sim has been going for over a decade and is widely regarded as one of the closest things to experiencing real motorsport in the comfort of your own home.

iRacing has seen growth and more exposure than ever before with major series picking it up to run digital versions of races with real drivers and big TV networks featuring the content. iRacing is also one of the only times in your life you might find yourself racing with the likes of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.

It's easy enough for anyone to get into, but it's not quite as straight forward as just downloading a game and being on your way. Having gone through the process myself recently, here's what you need to know about getting started.
