Simulated Dirt Track Racing – Yesterday and Tomorrow

It’s actually stunning when you compare the look of an old Dirt Track Racing simulation to the modern, sophisticated products that are at our fingertips today. There have been a lot of changes in the last fourteen years.


Dirt Track Racing 2 – Yesterday

iRacing – Tomorrow

It’s a giant leap from Dirt Track Racing 2 to iRacing Dirt. In fact, there is no comparison. Of course prior to Dirt Track Racing 2 there was Ratbag’s Dirt Track Racing, which I actually liked better than Dirt Track Racing 2. In between then and now, there were the rFactor dirt modifications which were a little better in some ways than the old Ratbag titles, but for some, including me, they lacked some kind of immersion.Now comes iRacing, finally providing a quality dirt racing simulation that’s not just another arcade game. iRacing is not perfect, but the actual simulation is very good, certainly the best you’re going to find today, and it’s the only game in town if you race on any kind of oval race track including dirt tracks.

Yesterday is history. Today we wait. Tomorrow comes on March 29, 2017. Be there or be nowhere.
