Co-founded by arguably the father of the modern racing simulation, David Kaemmer, the studio created NASCAR and IndyCar titles that consistently pushed the genre forwards.
Their groundbreaking Grand Prix Legends game engine was used in three NASCAR titles between 2001-2003, evolving to become iRacing after Kaemmer re-acquired former Papyrus assets for his new company.

iRacing staffer Greg West posted in the forum this evening that iRacing are raising prices for Steam users by $1.00 per item. This is to compensate for the fact that iRacing/Steam paid the taxes on content items via that platform while items purchased directly from iRacing saw it added on checkout.
They say that adding $1 brings the total amount paid to an almost identical amount. Steam users looking to save should attempt to buy all the content they want before it goes into effect on July 13, 2023.

Currently, The list price for cars and tracks are the same for both iRacing customers and Steam customers. However, the End-User Taxes are built into the Steam Pricing, while direct iRacing purchases add the End-User Taxes to the price during purchase. Therefore some direct iRacing customers may have been paying more than some Steam customers. As such, we are increasing Steam pricing by $1.00 for each piece of content to bring the content pricing closer to identical for all customers.
This update will be in effect with an iRacing Patch release scheduled for July 13th, 2023.
iR is a subscription-based online service that allows sim racers to race a variation of cars and tracks from all around the world.
