CORRECTION: A previous version of this article stated each series will run with free cars and on free tracks, which isn’t guaranteed. Thanks to u/ShinsukeNakamoto on Reddit for pointing that out!

We’re fast approaching the 15th anniversary of iRacing on 26th August, and to celebrate, the team have rolled back the clock to revive some of their classic racing series!

The Solstice, the Skippy, the Legends Coupe and the Late Model will all star in week-long official series across a range of popular legacy circuits – starting today!

With special awards and $15,000 of iRacing credits on the line, there’s all the more reason to get involved. Here’s how to join!

How do I get involved?

Four week-long series are running throughout August:

• August 1-7: 15th Anniversary Solstice Challenge
• August 8-14: 15th Anniversary Legends Car Challenge
• August 15-21: 15th Anniversary Skippy Challenge
• August 22-28: 15th Anniversary Late Model Challenge

Each series will run fixed setups and require a Rookie license, meaning anyone can enter. Each race will be a 12-minute sprint, starting every 30 minutes, with a new track each day.

What prizes are on offer?

Any racer who participates in at least one race from all four series will receive a special “15th Anniversary” award.

15 award recipients will be randomly selected to receive a grand prize of 1,000 iRacing credits – equivalent to $1,000 each!

For many of us, these cars were our introduction to iRacing – some even becoming trusty companions as we worked our way up from the Rookie and Class D licenses.

To go official in these cars once again will be a blast, and although participation numbers aren’t blowing other popular series out of the water, we’re seeing healthy splits at all hours.

I’ll see you out on track!
