5 iRacing Tracks Nobody's EVER Raced On

[@brandonmccreary3360]

That NH legends oval looks kinda cool. I had no idea that even existed. I like how they use those portable red and white walls, which actually give you something to reference when entering the corner, unlike most other legends ovals

[@mattstewart6663]

NH Road Course is also fun

The NH Legends oval is actually used on NASCAR Weekend, early in the morning before the Cup race, kids in Bandoleros and teens/adults in Legends cars face off infront of the few NASCAR fans who choose to wake up that early and come to the track. It's a pretty neat track. I think the main reason iRacing fails to use it is the lack of pit stalls [or atleast when I checked it out a long time ago, it was limited to 4 pit stalls]

[@SouthPawRacer]

Great video. I love the weird little layouts iRacing includes - they're fantastic for a laugh in hosted racing

[@DJYeeJay]

Glad you enjoyed!! I enjoy your vids as well!!

@@DJYeeJay so for the first 7.5 hours it’s the regular plate race, the last half hear me out…..we take half the cars the ones in the back we put them on the left side of the track and they race head on coming the other way they do there own race and we do our own race it’ll be either 4 wide when they pass by or it’ll be 6 they better figure it out or the fans get to see what they come here for

[@01Zipang]

Tsukuba also has an oval as well. I ran miata's on it officially once and it legit feels like a gran turismo license test exclusive track. like the one where you just follow the circle.

[@angryginger791]

This is the kind of stuff that should pop up on week 13 schedules, but they should race weird combos like rally-x cars and trophy trucks on them. And add some jumps.

[@nihontiger]

The Knockhill tri-oval, I believe, does run the legends or similar small cars in real life. Also to answer "Who would run the Auto Club infield circuit?" - Super GT ran an exhibition race there as part of its 2004 season (as well as a second race on the motorcycle layout).

[@micholly]

The tri-oval is used in real life for stock cars. Legends in the UK are a road racing series, and run the full Knockhill track layout and reverse. They are amazing fun.

[@rossjmcgregor]

Just to add to the other reply, the Knockhill tri-oval used to be used for British stock car racing (Formula 2, saloon stocks, hot rods, Brisca F1s etc) but is only used for drift demonstrations these days sadly. The Scottish drift championship used to run on it competitively, but yeah no more closed-circuit racing takes place on the tri-oval layout these days.

[@rjy87]

Knockhill Tri Oval is a must on Project cars 2. We used to run 16 RX lites in the snow around it and its fun as hell. Running that track actual prepared me for Iracing

[@GamersHolyArmy]

I did the Knockhill Trioval with the Honda Civic and I really enjoyed it.

[@rjy87]

[@cingularman31]

That Rockingham road course would be amazing in C class legends cars. They have run them on Legends road course for Charlotte as well as LRP and I think they would do awesome in a super short course like that

[@pete_bruschi_racing]

Allison Legacy series put on a good show on the infield road course. I was the start finish man for their 2021 race. Having turned a lot of laps around that place myself, the really small course isn't very fun. Best leave it to go-karts.

[@SamH94]

The Knockhill Legends oval hasn’t been used in real life in a loooooong time but we do use it only for Legends or demonstrations. We actually run Legends cars on the road course (which is used in both directions regularly) at nearly every meeting!

[@Anthony_Stuart]

Most of these are actually used regularly in real life, and I’ve raced on 3 of them in sims: mid Ohio and New Hampshire in iracing, and knockhill in rFactor where it was one of the British stock car tracks with the hot rod/f1 stock mods. NHMS is the best of them, it’s honestly my favorite legends oval

[@bensingleton3923]

The Tri Oval at Knockhill was used for Stock Car & Hot Rod racing in the UK which is very different to American Stock Car racing. There should be the option to run in either direction as it was used in different directions depending on what class was running.

[@zurggriff481]

It took me a while to comprehend that the New Hampshire Legends oval was, indeed, at the 1 mile New Hampshire track. The Monza left turning oval in the Xfinity cars was a lot of fun to drive and had a good turnout even during quiet hours. There is some nice variety to be had by running races at unusual track configurations. The last one that really stuck out to me was a week with the Production Cars at Tsukuba Circuit -1000 Outer, which was a challenge with a large grid and 4 classes of cars. Somehow that was more of an oval than the Mid-Ohio oval.

[@DJYeeJay]

Oh wow was the Tsukuba outer race an official or week 13? Sounds crazy lol

[@nihontiger]

@@DJYeeJay Was an official series race several seasons ago after Grand Touring Cup was dissolved and merged with PCC.

[@Bleechers]

The Knockhill tri oval was run on week 13 a few months ago with the Pro 2 Lite trophy trucks. It was great and you could do full on drifts through all 4 corners.

[@kyleurbanik1879]

I think iracing may have put the pro 2 trophy trucks on that knockhill oval as an official for a week shortly after the release of the track.

[@WorldofRacecraft]

We ran a go kart race on a portion of the California road course. By far one of the craziest races I’ve been in.

[@Decebalus]

This reminds me of the time the series I was racing in used the Atlanta road course (definitely not to be confused with Road Atlanta). The first time I went for a practice session on it I missed a turn and ended up lost in the infield carpark, can't say that's ever happened anywhere else...

[@TChapman500Gaming]

Some of these seem like something you would have to check a "disable all penalties" checkbox to properly race on.

[@DJYeeJay]

True!

[@SrdosGames]

0:50 I was thinking that this track was exhibition place lol

[@osworld1417]

The nh oval was used for british stock car racing in the early naughties

[@Dexter037S4]

The Knockhill Oval runs Legends Cars, but also runs Dirt Sprint Cars from time to time, apparently.

[@Aub188]

Knockhill you should be able to go both ways, it was used for UK stockcar racing. The Brisca f2s race anti clockwise quick description of those would be a less powered full contact sprint car. Other classes went clockwise as obviously our cars have the steering wheel on the other side. Hope we get the stockcars back up there I live about 15mins away from the place

[@NigelRCharman]

Knockhill did do a race in other direction last year, usf2000 I think.

[@VJKMix]

Speaking of Legend Cars... I don't know why they don't run Legend cars on road courses. I have watched Legend cars race at Summit Point (my home track), VIR, and Mid-Ohio. But they won't do it in IRacing. I think that would be totally fun racing road courses in Legend cars. IRacing needs to make it happen.

[@joshuajusticeracing]

I believe when they run Legends cars on road courses IRL the suspension is set up completely different, and iRacing doesn't have the road course suspension for them. So you're forced to run the oval suspension setup and try to make it work on the road, which isn't the same. Modifieds have the same problem.

[@Bandit-zq1uf]

@@joshuajusticeracing to my knowledge the suspension isn’t super different, the high class teams might switch it around but there’s a lot of cars that all they do is switch some normal set up stuff. Though I am not a dev and they might have to change some stuff there. Inex (the sanctioning body for legends and bandaleros) runs a whole road corse championship so I can’t imagine I racing doesn’t know

[@robertseightytwo4385]

I had previously tried to start a league with the Pro Mazdas using all these weird infield tracks. Those of us who raced on them had a blast. Daytona's. little mini road, Texas, Vegas, and Charlotte have awesome mini tracks that are perfect for Formula V and Pro Mazda

[@joaopires1761]

Props for the Hornet-themed car at 5:30.

[@MarshallDog]

I think NH Legends would be great for the SK mods. Actually a lot of people racing the touring mods regularly are begging for a real 1/4 mile track so much that they'd probably race NH legends. I think the real issue is the pit road is broken. If Knockhill oval were left-turning I think it would be awesome for any of the short track cars, including the ARCA car. Overpowered and heavy are exactly the type of cars I love watching at a short track. I also think there's a video to be made about the "hidden" tracks in iRacing. Examples include the "mini-mile" at Stafford or the teeny-tiny oval on the backstretch of Oxford. Can anyone think of any others?

[@DJYeeJay]

The pit roads were the problems the majority of the time. Rockingham I didn’t know which way to go and drove the track backwards at first. Knockhill you gotta do a 3 point turn to get out of the pits, and New Hampshire like you said is a meme

I think the "Richard" track looks interesting for a kart or slow car like Vee or MX5 (I don't do ovals) There is a dirt kart track in Australia that is shaped like a kidney (I think they run It in both directions). One advantage is it is a leveler for road racers & oval specialists in the same race, esp if run clockwise.

[@cesco1990]

The real reason these tracks are neglected because most schedules are presented by "communities" per series. Unfortunately these "community leaders" are the ones that sell the weekly setups so the schedules don't really change that much and most setup providers can run a efficient company so they don't have to dish out new stuff but rather re-used setups that are decent but still not top of the line for prices like 10 euros a month or more. Sure they will tell you the people vote for it and some tracks just aren't popular or never chosen, but the only ones who believe that are donkeys.
