iRacing has made a name for itself by putting a lowercase ā€œiā€ in front of a single word describing what it’s about because that was really trendy for a while providing a very, very accurate racing simulation that is accessible to people who aren’t employed by Red Bull Racing. It’s the kind of game that’s played using hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of equipment by people who take their virtual racing careers almost as seriously as the people who are having actual racing careers.

Now, iRacing is taking the lessons learned from creating this hardcore simulation and putting it all towards just absolutely destroying the batteries of your phone and tablet. Much of the same data is being used but the game is still very dumbed down when compared to the PC version.

Try out the alpha version here.
