iRacing Arcade will be playable for the public for the first time at SimRacing Expo on October 18th, just before its fall launch. The demo will be available on the Fanatec booth following an iRacing Studios stage presentation.
Early Access Demo
Developed by Original Fire Games (the developers of Circuit Superstars and Karting Superstars) has iRacing Studios backing, and targets a more casual racing game audience, rather than hardcore sim racers. The build the public can try out is still a early access build, so it’s important to reserve judgement.
iRacing Studios Presentation
iRacing’s Global Director of Operations Greg West and VP of Marketing Kevin Bobbit will present at 11:30 AM German time, discussing the iRacing Studios portfolio. The umbrella organization has released ExoCross, two World of Outlaws titles, and has NASCAR 25, iRacing Arcade, and a 2026 IndyCar game in development.
The presentation will be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person, expanding reach beyond expo visitors.
The Bottom Line
iRacing Arcade’s expo debut represents a crucial public testing moment before fall launch. The accessible approach contrasts sharply with iRacing’s hardcore simulation platform, showing the company’s strategy to expand beyond its traditional audience.
SimRacing Expo continues proving itself as the premier European venue for sim racing reveals, with iRacing Arcade joining Project Motor Racing and other major announcements at the October 17-19 event.
