iRacing - Mt. Washington Auto Road - Available Now!

Towering at 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the highest peak in the northeastern United States. The Mount Washington Auto Road was completed in 1861, stretching 7.6 miles and climbing 4,618 feet from base to summit at an average gradient of 11.6%. The road is both open to private vehicles and guided tours, and "THIS CAR CLIMBED MOUNT WASHINGTON" bumper stickers are prevalent throughout New England.
In 1904, the inaugural Mount Washington Hillclimb Auto Race was hosted. Held sporadically over the past century, the "Climb to the Clouds" is nonetheless the oldest auto race in the country. Its latest revival as a full-blown race came in 2011 as a tri-annual event, and each edition of the race since 1956 has seen a new record time set by the winner. The most recent record was set by Travis Pastrana in 2017. Mount Washington serves as iRacing's first-ever point-to-point hillclimb race-do you have what it takes to make it to the top?

I think this will open the door for rally stages in the future.

[@killer414]

one can only hope.. All depends on kaemmmmmmmmerrrrrrrrrrrr

[@theumuss1631]

I hope so, was thinking the same when I was watching the video.

[@sonyerikson]

Now we just need some Hillclimb cars with all the crazy aero

[@TheBrennanSchafer]

and Pikes Peak!

[@Bobbarker23455]

@@TheBrennanSchafer if they added this pikes peak is next trust me!

[@speedhunter7156]

Now who says we can't use the 2010 cup cars on this hill they have some crazy areo

[@nhbackcountryrider]

They would never last up Mt Washington unfortunately

[@Boeing--dz7zr]

Only if we get to also drive those cars in normal races and watch chaos unfold with 15 foot wide cars

[@scoke15]

You love to see it. I'm very much hoping that with this release, there's now a shred of hope that the famous 100AW rally stages in Salem / Potosi, MO may be scanned. America has so many good sights and stages for rally. Here's hoping iRacing continues to provide more of this kind of content in the future!

[@benuzimotorsports]

Its the beginning of a new awesome iRacing chapter… road to rally 😍😍

[@jesusclemente7976]

It would be a dream come true!!!

[@_getnoobednxgen1897]

Imagine an Iraxing rally series. I would watch that on YT every year

[@distilledyougamecast3569]

I learned to drive in the Mount Washington Valley back in the 80s. I've been waiting for somebody to put this out ever since they started racing again there. Thank you so much I can't wait to try it!

[@625bmx]

This is my favorite iRacing update since I've been a member!! PLEASE keep adding stuff like this!! Rally stages would be amazing 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@shadowbolt017]

May we have pikes peak one day?

[@Beemstarr]

The real question

[@ahoff88]

May I add we get it as both the current fully paved and the old-school asphalt to dirt

[@greerhead]

Think gran Turismo owns the rights to it. This why it was missing from dirt rally 2

[@Xzibitfreek]

gran turismo has exclusive rights to pikes peak unfortunately. tho i dont know for how long

[@ChasingChevy]

@@ahoff88 This is a must. Old stage in a group b car is my favorite form of self-torture.

[@natel7382]

Do you get a bumper sticker at the end that says "this car climbed mt Washington"? As a resident of NH this is awesome. Too bad I don't play iracing tho. And you have the cog railroad! EPIC! Oh man I might have to splurged actually respond my subscription for iracing! I can't believe how amazing it looks. Bang on! Live free or die!

[@imatruebrooka]

Super cool. I’m not a racer or anything like that but a lot of people I’ve met are super into this stuff so I’ve done my due diligence to take a look into it absolutely amazing how this was recreated

[@RyDogg08]

awesome! great stuff! Next up Pikes Peak?? :)

[@Ixxlostinabox]

YES YES YES! HILLCLIMB! I never thought iracing would bring my favorite type of racing, I am so excited!

[@franemandic]

This is why I love Iracing it has something for every auto motorsport fan

[@StefVR]

Wow love it. More of this please!

[@mik1037]

Nice, bring on the rally stages!!

[@kepyyy5766]

Is this the start of a new racing category ? Like actual rally, with every car starting every 30 secs or so ? Oh my god please tell me yes

[@dearanonymous4658]

I've never wanted to ruin my SR so badly

If you ruin your SR then it’s on you lol there is a thing called….hosted races

[@RyanWashock]

@@dearanonymous4658 oh no doubt lol but spoiler after you go off a certain distance it just resets your car. I was just saying its just you out there so if you tank your SR its not the cars fault. I had a blast running this in VR though about to post a video of it

[@gdoumit]

This is really awesome. I'm not even a huge rally guy and I can't wait to get my hands on this.

[@bystander85]

This is super exciting. Love seeing iRacing expanding the breadth of their content. What's next? An open-world free-roam driving and racing MMO to fully take advantage of subscription model and voice chat? A man can dream, right?

[@andresa.ruizv.7413]

Reminded me of NFS Carbon and the Carbon boss duel :) the music and atmosphere were so intense pressuring, just epic. Very excited to see racers dominating the map!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

@iRacing Baja 1000 and a Trophy Truck please!

[@jmacfoto]

I have been up the auto road countless times in a van or back of a pickup (sketchy) photographing many type of races. I’m looking for to trying this. Dream come true!

[@0heck]

Looks great, and this is a great direction for Iracing. Keep pushing that envelope.

[@clubracer6]

This is awesome! Will use the C6 GT1 car first and then maybe the Formula Vee.

[@ievazarembaite9344]

That what i was hoping for. RBR NGP6 and RX in iRacing always on table and I am hoping that Rallye will follow one day

[@thatdudeluci1839]

This is right in my backyard!

[@solid_ares3459]

Awesome 🤘

[@donzmeuheu6153]

What a sick Road☺️ I recommend to take the Cayman GT4 CS for this Hillclimb. What a Blast.

[@nflisrigged1395]

More of this Add to seasons please

[@riderofthemark6661]

Monaco and Macau

[@meison81]

I hope you continue working in this discipline, although I see this unfinished mountain, what happens with the dirt area it seems to be asphalt only that with another texture the sensations are the same, and what happens with the dust that should be raised? Estero that they profile it soon and give us more uploads of this type

[@felix57234]

One step closer to having rally stages!

[@tricktruck5922]

It would be awesome to see them possibly get some desert racing on here in the future. Some of the shorter loop races like Laughlin or the Mint. If they can pull off rally and hill climb they can pull off desert racing on here!

[@karloy123]

This is great - though the iRacing graphics engine needs some upgrades, it shows the limit

[@TheBrennanSchafer]

Yeah, I was thinking the same while watching this. iRacing's graphics have been behind the times for while now. With the new consoles and engines like Unreal 5 releasing, iRacing's subpar graphics are really starting to show their age and it's only going to get worse. These newer engines allow the games to both look better and perform more efficiently. For how much we all pay for this game I think it's about time that iRacing catches up with the times graphically.

[@Bwillev]

@@TheBrennanSchafer Yep. Looks like Richard Burns Rally.... A game from 2004. Lol.

[@Mythbuster3808]

Love the Subaru

[@johnmifsud6007]

Look ma, no hands 🙌. I can fly. Can see myself literally doing this

Oh yes Please make drag racing Even time trials since netcode has a little trouble. Please drag racing next.

If you drive it at night with no lights and the Driving Line driver's aid turned on it feels like Mountain Tron.

[@LordShargaas]

When will you release the grass update, announced a while back now ?

[@LithFox]

They won't be for some time. They hit performance issues with it and have been pushing it back to continue working on things on rain. Same issues with Parallax. (I had a post about it on the forums, Staff responded, issues like texture swimming and such with parallax) So, basically, they won't because it affects performance too much and they don't wanna push something out that ruins our experience like that.

[@LordShargaas]

@@LithFox ok, thanks for the answer. I'll look on the forum. Old or new one ? Edit : found the parallax thread. Thanks. Hope they find a solution.

[@TwentyFourSlevin]

You are going to slow if you have time to look at the grass while you are racing. Or maybe that's where you spend most of your time when you are on Iracing, since it matters so much to you?

[@LordShargaas]

@@TwentyFourSlevin I should not respond to this, but : - I love iRacing, but the graphics engine is outdated (and unfortunately it's even more obvious with this track, but that doesn't spoil the fun). I'm all for focusing on other things as graphics are not the most important part, but when something is announced and looks cool I don't see the issue with asking why it's not out yet. Well, it seems there is a performance issue so I'll wait. - You know you can also look at races / replays / spectate your teammates ? - Yes I'm slow, yes I can look at the grass while racing, but... I think you have the time too.

[@LithFox]

@@LordShargaas I disagree here. It’s not outdated. It’s focused. They have particular guidelines and follow them pretty heavily, but otherwise it’s clear they’re working on adding functionality as they can. The problem is most of their graphics are tied to physics, which adds additional overhead. Overall though they’re like 3 features away from some of the best graphics you could have on a sim, IMO. You’d be surprised how many of those games you think look super realistic are just tricking you. iRacing has to hit a target of working at any angle, with a free form camera, in large scale environments that can’t be unloaded, and at a really fast pace (if they did texture streaming could you imagine the complaints and CPU overhead that would makes run worse?) Overall, I disagree with “it doesn’t matter”, but I also think people do miss the forest for the trees. Literally. People are complaining about the forest of trees we now have.
