Hey Everyone,

Well here is a quick list of some of the things they did:

The following cars received the New Tire Model. This helps balance the car out significantly and makes them much more fun to drive. 

• Star Mazda 
• Radical SR8
• Riley Daytona Prototype
• Williams FW31

Additionally, they updated the tire model on the following cars:

• Chevrolette Corvette C6R 
• Chevrolet Impala

iRacing.com has announced the newest addition to the lineup of cars in their online racing simulation as the Mclaren MP4-12C GT3 sports car will be available to subscribers in 2012.

iRacing’s partnership with Mclaren started in May when the online racing simulation gave their subscribers access to the ATLAS Express data analysis software developed by Mclaren. Now, iRacing subscribers will get their hands on a virtual version of the company’s newest sports car racer.

Powered by a 3.8 liter V8 bi-turbo engine, the MP4-12C is build to the FIA GT3 regulations based on the MP4-12C road car. The car made its competition debut in the British GT Championship earlier this year and went on to compete in various events, including the Spa 24 Hours race.
