Sebring International Raceway just released

Sebring has been released.

September 17, 2008 - Sebring Now Available!
One of America's most historic road courses, Sebring International Raceway , is now available to all members of iRacing.com. Sebring is the first of three Panoz Motor Sports Group facilities that will be offered to iRacing members.

Built on the site of a World War II bomber pilot-training base in Central Florida, Sebring has since 1952 been host to an annual, 12-Hour sportscar endurance race. The facility includes three configurations, the 3.7-mile circuit used for the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring round of the International Motor Sports Association's American Le Mans Series, as well as the shorter test loop and the club circuit. All three configurations are available to iRacers for $25.

Tradition hangs in the air at Sebring like the scent of the neighboring citrus groves, and if iRacing's version of the track were any more authentic, you could walk next door and pick the oranges.

More tracks are all good, but I'm really starting to see the downside of iRacing's structure. It'll be months before it'll be used for racing..

[Ricky Willox]

Yea i guess it will be a while before its in a series, so for us that are using it more like a game it means we cant race it for a while.

But if you race real life in America then releasing the tracks as built is good for you to get track time and learn the layout.

I guess it all depends on how you use the sim. Personally I want to buy it because I like Sebring but im not going to until its in a series I want to race. And that could be a while away as i have still much to learn in the Skippy and then the mazda maybe.

[Simon Trendell]

I'll be there 24/7 in the first touring car they release, whatever it is.

[Ricky Willox]

An iracing GT1 Aston, corvette or maserati type thing would keep me amused for life i think.

[Andrew Evans]

wow, $25 for a track - is that the norm with iRacing?

[Ricky Willox]

Yea most road courses are $25 because they have multiple configurations and need to be scanned once for each. Ovals are usually a little cheaper.
