Occasionally, iRacing experiences a graphics glitch in which paints, whether they’re custom paints or default iRacing paints, can appear on the wrong cars within the simulation, leading to unexpected issues. This glitch may result in cars displaying with a jumbled or distorted appearance, affecting even unmodifiable elements like light decals, names, and simulation-stamped numbers. In some cases, you might even catch a glimpse of your own car racing behind you in your rearview mirror!
