First of all, the only thing I see of any significance in the iRacing 2020 Season 2 build is the return of DNC cautions. Let’s hope they stick around this time. Here are some more things that have been added, but this is pretty much a nothing build.
iRacing Beta User Interface – Custom Grid Builder
- This feature is available for League Sessions using the ‘Practice + Race’ event type.
- If the requirements are met, a button appears to open the grid builder.
- You can choose a league roster or a past league session from which to pull participants to the grid.
Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0
Master your laps without dominating the room. The Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 stands rock-solid for direct-drive wheels, yet folds away in seconds when real life calls. Full adjustability for wheel, pedals, and shifter lets a man settle into his proper position the honest way. A clever chair cradle keeps your seat planted under hard braking, while predrilled mounts welcome Thrustmaster, Fanatec, Logitech, and the rest. Upgrade later to a full cockpit with the GTSeat add-on. Serious performance, sensible footprint—no compromises required.

In essence, this sounds pretty much like the custom grid builder that has been available in the good interface for years. It’s a bit buggy but it works most of the time.
Thrustmaster T300RS GT Steering Wheel & Pedal Set
The T300 is a proven mid-range wheel with smooth belt-driven force feedback and a responsive brushless motor for clear track feel. An 11-inch leather wheel, solid three-pedal GT set, and PS5, PS4, and PC compatibility give racers the precision to brake later, hold tighter lines, and improve lap after lap.

iRacing Simulator – Race Control
iRacing has enabled DNC Caution Laps again. This is used primarily on short ovals. Cautions laps won’t be counted with this on. iRacing fixed a bug that was causing some lap timing problems. DNC Cautions will be enabled in official dirt races in which cautions are enabled (Class C and up).
Race Cars
All of the NASCAR Stock Cars received aero updates for stability as well as tire updates to adjust tire falloff on speedways and intermediate tracks.
Race Tracks
Texas Motor Speedway has been rescanned and rebuilt.
You’re right this is a nothing update. Nothing for dirt except for the caution laps not counted which was a failure twice before. Maybe they got it right this time.
How about:
Big Block Modifieds
Work on surfaces and tires that would lead to a late model that is drive-able by the general membership.
NASCAR and road get all the attention and dirt gets treated like a red headed bastard son.
I agree…. The Big Block Modifieds are LONG over due. Also, the Weedsport track that was scanned like 2 years ago. Where is it?
