Earlier, iRacing president, Tony Gardner, had spilled details about the game. He shared that ever since iRacing acquired MGI, they have absolutely beefed up the team and grown the team from 20 to 35 employees. He further said, “They’re tapping into our car and track models and using a lot of our tech. We’ve got a system in place where they can easily import our updated tracks and features.” So gone are the days of Unity when fans were not happy with the outcome. Now, with Unreal Engine, the gaming for sure will be to the next level.
