New Dirt Road Ladder Coming to iRacing for 2021 Season 3!
May 7th, 2021 by Chris Leone
iRacing Dirt Road users will have an expanded path through public events and the opportunity to earn Class A licenses for the first time beginning with 2021 Season 3. The new Dirt Road ladder will introduce additional rallycross and off-road truck series, while also adding the brand new Volkswagen Beetle Lite to iRacing Rallycross competition.
Similar to the Pro 2 Lite, the Volkswagen Beetle Lite is a lower-horsepower alternative to its Supercar cousin that will be made available free to all iRacing users. The new car will take over the iRacing Rallycross Rookie and Class D slates, while Supercars will move up to Class C for fixed-setup, finals-only events and Class B for open-setup events with heat racing.
On the iRacing Off-Road side of things, the Pro 2 Lite will continue to hold its place in Rookie events, while fixed-setup events for the Pro 4 Truck (Class D) and Pro 2 Truck (Class C) will take up the next spots on the ladder. Open-setup racing for both the Pro 4 and Pro 2 will take place at the Class B level.
iRacing’s new Dirt Road ladder will debut with the start of 2021 Season 3 in June. The Volkswagen Beetle Lite will be made available at the time of the 2021 Season 3 build. In addition, the iRacing Rallycross All-Star Invitational presented by Yokohama continues on May 11, with all iRacers having the opportunity to qualify for the sim racer portion of the event at Atlanta Motor Speedway through a Time Attack session through the end of the day.
