This is a fictional track, for now. iRacing, the City of Chicago and NASCAR were involved in putting this together. But, iRacing deployed the scanners on the streets of Chicago before putting it together. It’s an accurate and to scale version of a possible NASCAR track for the future.
The Next Gen car is also in use for this race. Drivers have two resets and a fixed setup. The only thing they can change is the brake bias.
It’s the Windy City 110. James Davison and Anthony Alfredo line up on the front row. 51 laps of digital stock car racing are up next…
