For 2023 Season 2, the iRacing team made significant updates to our user interface. As iRacing continues to evolve, our Legacy Membersite will be sunset in the coming months in favor of an all-new iRacing Web experience, which preserves certain core functionalities of the iRacing interface within a browser for users who would like to access information on computers without an active iRacing installation.
Moving forward, we’ll be using the following terms:
- iRacing: This is the interface that allows you to join races, paint cars, launch replays, and more. Formerly known as the iRacing UI.
- iRacing Web: The web browser version of iRacing that allows users to interact with the parts of our interface that don’t require an active iRacing installation, such as managing teams and leagues.
- iRacing Simulation: Your experience at the virtual racetrack.
- Classic Membersite: The web browser version of iRacing currently accessible at members.iracing.com. This will be replaced by iRacing Web in the coming months.
Here’s a more thorough description of iRacing Web and what to expect from the coming changes:
What is iRacing Web?
Prior to sunsetting the Classic Membersite, we will make portions of the existing iRacing UI available directly in a web browser, without the need to have an iRacing installation on the machine. We are referring to this as iRacing Web in official documentation. This is not a separate product, merely an additional way to access what is currently known as the iRacing UI. The goal is to make sure functionality which does not require a connection to an iRacing installation is still available once the Classic Membersite is sunset in the future. This should be particularly helpful for Team and League Admins, but will obviously be nice for everyone who wishes to interact with the service on PCs without an iRacing installation. (I’d mention results and stats being available in iRacing Web here)
When will iRacing Web be available for use?
When it is ready. #soon – But really, we are getting close for it to be released and can give you the estimate of: Season 3.
How will I access iRacing Web?
You will be able to access iRacing Web by directing your supported web browser of choice to a new URL. The URL will be available when iRacing Web is ready to launch. There will also be a handy link made available via the public site and Legacy membersite. Once there, you will be able to simply login with your iRacing account credentials!
