Get ready for an exciting shake-up in the world of iRacing! The upcoming Week 13 of the 2026 Season 1 is about to become a hotbed of new racing opportunities. iRacing is listening to its community and delivering a massive expansion of Ranked series, catering to a diverse range of racing preferences. But here's where it gets controversial... these new series will be short-lived, intense championships, lasting just one week each!
For those new to iRacing, Week 13 is a unique period between the four quarterly seasons. It's a time to unveil fresh content, give dedicated racers a breather, and experiment with innovative ideas. Instead of the usual weekly track, Week 13 series offer a new track every day, creating a fast-paced, fun environment for racers to compete.
The new Ranked series will feature some of iRacing's most beloved cars and car classes, each with its own one-week championship. Here's a glimpse of what's in store:
- Oval Racing: ARCA Menards Series, Late Model Stock, and Mini Stock will all have their moment in the sun.
- Sports Car Enthusiasts: Get ready for the BMW M2 Cup, Toyota GR86, and the thrilling GT4 Class.
- Formula Car Fans: FIA Formula 4, Super Formula Lights, and INDY NXT will provide an adrenaline-pumping experience.
- Dirt Oval and Road: From the Dirt Mini Stock and 410 Sprint Car to the FIA Cross Car and Pro 2 Lite, these series will offer a gritty, off-road adventure.
Imagine the thrill of racing in these diverse categories, each with its own unique challenges and rewards. But remember, these championships will be over in the blink of an eye, so make every lap count!
Stay tuned for the full list of Week 13 series for 2026 Season 1, coming soon. And this is the part most people miss... iRacing is not just about the racing; it's about the community and the shared passion for virtual motorsports. So, join the conversation, share your thoughts, and let's discuss the impact of these new series on the iRacing landscape. Are you ready to embrace the challenge?
