WSC announces partnership with iRacing

By

TCR race cars will be included in the sim racing game iRacing following a new partnership with WSC, the TCR rights holders.

“We couldn’t be more excited to announce our partnership with WSC to add TCR to iRacing,” said iRacing president Tony Gardner.

“TCR is globally recognized as the standard for touring car racing, and the four TCR vehicles already in iRacing have proven to be very popular with racers of all skill levels from around the world.

“TCR is also very active in esports with their own events, making the alignment an even more natural fit. We’re excited to work with them to bring the TCR license to iRacing and expand what is already a very popular discipline on the sim. We’re looking forward to many great years of virtual racing to come!”

Four TCR models are currently available in iRacing, the Audi RS 3 LMS, Hyundai Elantra N TCR, Hyundai Veloster N TCR and Honda Civic Type R FK7.

These will be included in a standalone series named iRacing TCR Virtual Challenge.

“We are proud of this new partnership with iRacing because it will give a crucial contribution to further strengthen the image of TCR competition in North America. On top of this, the partnership with such an important platform will be appreciated from all TCR fans around the world who are interested in SIM racing activities,” said Marcello Lotti, WSC President.
