Formula Vee Coming to iRacing in June, 2021

If this is an April Fools then I don’t get it, so I’ll share the news as if it’s real.

iRacing today announced that they have scanned a Formula Vee car. Based on a pre-1963 Volkswagen Beetle suspension and chassis, the Formula Vee has been a stepping stone for such racing legends as Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittipaldi, Keke Rosberg, and Nelson Piquet in their driving careers. Since 1964, the class has crowned an annual champion at the SCCA Runoffs in the United States, while international variants have been prominent in South America, Europe, Australia, and Africa, with many of them still crowning annual champions.

For those wondering, the sticker on the side says “This Car Climbed Mount Washington”. Mt Washington hosts a hillclimb event. Maybe that’s an indication of what’s really being announced here?
