As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio, United States has been used by IndyCar since July 4, 1982. A fully functioning airport the rest of the year and shut down for the event, the race was very popular amongst fans, as the long, wide, runways allowed for side-by-side racing, fast speeds, and superb passing zones around the entire track.
First seen in sim racing with IndyCar Racing (1993).

Codemasters released the 1.9 update for DiRT Rally 2.0 today and obviously the big news with this update is that ‘Oculus VR Mode’ has been added when launching the game. This is far superior and gets rids of many complaints VR users had. Other than that, I see a lot of decent fixes that should improve the overall quality of life when running DR2, but nothing that fixes a bug I ever experienced.

DR2 is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters featuring a mixture of Rally and Rallycross content from both historic and modern era.
The game may be considered the thirteenth title in the Colin McRae Rally series, and is the seventh title to carry the Dirt name. The publisher confusingly released DiRT Rally, DiRT 4 then Dirt Rally 2.0 all with a similar concept and content between 2015 and 2019.
