This Footwork–Arrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

iRacing recently announced that they would resurrect the fictional Coca-Cola Superspeedway from NASCAR Racing 2002 Season because, as many probably already know, iRacing is staffed by a lot of ex-Papyrus Racing Games staff, was co-founded by one of the Papyrus co-founders and bought the NASCAR Racing 2003 Season codebase that iRacing is built on. While building the track didn’t really fit with the ethos of their product or service, I suppose you could understand them doing it, especially with the recent Coca-Cola sponsorship in their official NASCAR series.
This is a whole different tier though… Because rather than licensing a real world upper tier racing car for their 2021 Open-Wheel World Championship, they have essentially produced a concept vehicle from Dallara and placed it above any real-world vehicles. I love the idea, I just don’t think it fits what iRacing has been saying or doing for the past 15 years.
iRacing and Dallara began work on the Dallara iR-01 in May 2020, engineering a car that is ready to race in the real world but will make its debut in the virtual one. Featuring a lightweight chassis of only 600 kg, its naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V10 engine can produce more than 900 horsepower. With limited electronics on board and a fully decoupled suspension, the new car will prove easy for new drivers to pick up and fun to race, but difficult to master.
