iRacing.com and Classic Team Lotus have announced plans to create a digital version of the renowned 1967 Lotus 49. This will be the second of the marque’s iconic Formula One cars available on iRacing, joining the 1978 World Championship-winning Lotus 79 which has been raced in the Classic Lotus Grand Prix Series since 2009.

“We’re honored to have the opportunity to build another great Formula One Lotus,” says Divina Galica, iRacing director of partner relations. “In addition to being among the most technically significant -- and successful – Formula One cars in history, the Lotus 49 embodies a truly golden age of Grand Prix racing. I have no doubt the members of iRacing will be positively thrilled at this news.”

Today’s announcement solidifies the relationship between iRacing.com and Classic Team Lotus. Prior to developing the virtual Lotus 79, iRacing co-founder Dave Kaemmer and his team created an early digital version of the Lotus 49 for the popular video game Grand Prix Legends in 1998.

“We are excited to work with iRacing to develop a state-of-the-art digital version of the Lotus 49,” says Clive Chapman, managing director of Classic Team Lotus and son of Lotus founder Colin Chapman. “There are many fans of Grand Prix Legends at Classic Team Lotus, and we were delighted with the results of iRacing’s Lotus 79 project. My father was one of racing’s great innovators, and it is entirely appropriate that his famous designs are being celebrated within the rapidly emerging field of motorsports simulation exemplified by iRacing.”

Among the first Formula One cars to employ its engine as a fully stressed chassis member, the Lotus 49 was also the first to utilize the legendary Ford-Cosworth DFV engine. On its debut in the 1967 Grand Prix of Holland, the Lotus 49 scored a famous “double” as Graham Hill captured the pole position before Jim Clark won the race itself. The design went on to 11 more Formula One wins and took Hill to the 1968 World Championship of Drivers.

iRacing is fortunate to have access to the very Lotus 49 Clark drove to that historic victory in 1967. The car is currently owned by vintage racer Chris MacAllister of Indianapolis, who has generously offered iRacing complete access to Clark’s car during the precision modeling process. iRacing’s engineers will shortly begin measuring the Lotus 49, with a targeted release for the latter part of 2012.

Dolgo traja, da ga replicirajo. Sam sicer nisem ne vem kakšen ljubitelj starodobnikov, bo pa mogoče kakšnega formulaša pritegnilo

Kot bi kolega Byrkus dejal, vse lepo in prav, samo naj potem naredijo tudi kakšno historic stezo!

Paps boš vozil radicala na oultonu (tournament) ?

[edgeslo 1 162]

Paps a ti mogoče veš a bodo zdej skoz teral ta multiclass s Corvetto ?

Men počas tole že dopizdeva... Honde so tolk hitrejše da po 3-4 krogih že ujamejo Corvette in pol maš takih bedakov ki mislijo da own-ajo stezo

Tolk hiter k mi zdaj leti SF dol mi ni še nikol... da ne govorim o iRatingu

[Paps 597]

Sašo, mislim da ja. Sam če se ne motim je še Fixed Corvette serija. Razn če niso to ukinl.

Žal je ni. To sezono bom sicer odteral s Corvetto do konca potem pa mislim da zaradi multiclass-a ne več

Ti priporočam da si iRating dvigneš nad 3500. Pol bo velik boljš vozt. Ti maš zej kar nizek iR, in ljudje s podobnim kot ti nimajo zastonj tako nizkega

[edgeslo 1 162]

Hehe vrjamem in občutim... najboljš da TT nabijam da si ga dvignem

What is the status of these tracks that are currently signed?

• Auto Club Speedway (aka Fontana) – Not scanned yet – rumors about it changing.
  
• Autodromo Jose Carlos (aka Interlagos) – Working on getting a scan, some progress. Would love to get this track done.
  
• Kansas Speedway – Making sure no changes to track before scanning.
  
• Langley Speedway – Scanned, will finish this track in 2012.
  
• Long Beach – Production was started and stopped as some members know. The spline is completely done. We will pick up working on this track again in 2012! It is big so not promising releasing in 2012!
  
• Lucas Oil Raceway (aka IRP) – Production has started.
  
• Miller Motorsports Park – On list to do at some point.
  
• New Jersey Motorsports Park – Scanned, on list to do at some point
  
• New Smyrna Speedway – Releasing next month – December 2011 – both night and day versions!
  
• Oran Park Raceway – Will finish in 2012.
  
• Tsukuba Circuit – Some production has started; would expect it will be done in 2012.
  
• Willow Springs International Motorsports Park – Scanned, some production work done, but put on hold for now.
  
• Circuit Zolder – Spline started; will finish in 2012.
  
• Twing Ring Motegi is next road course that will be done and, I might add, a great track!
  
• Daytona rescan is also coming before the Daytona 500.
  

Recently a member of an F1 team offered to put iRacing in touch with the company that does the scans for the teams. Is this something that could work with iRacing, or are there major factors that would prevent this?

We have talked with some contractors that do scans and sell them to race teams, etc. There are not many of them and we have not built any tracks with laser-scans that we have purchased from someone else. They want to get paid for the scans, obviously. The dollars are about as much or more than it costs us to do the scan ourselves and then we have to deal with someone else’s data which we may or may not be able to work with. Either way that adds additional time and work. None of the contractors that we have talked with have anywhere close to a full inventory of laser scanned tracks for any particular series. Plus the way we do our scans is different and probably of higher quality and detail, so I’m not sure how much it helps us to consider laser scans from third parties unless we just can’t get the scan for some reason. We also would still need the license from the track. Typically getting a scan done is not the problem in getting a track done. Probably the most important thing we need is simply the time to build all the tracks our members want. It also does not make sense for us at this point to build tracks that only a small percentage of people are interested in. I think we come out with tracks at probably just about the right rate. They are very expensive to build in both money and time, and there are thousands and thousands of tracks in the world, so something has to give. We can’t build everyone’s “home” track.

Hm.. Kar čez noč mi je iRacing crknil.. Ko kliknem test oz race (probal sem vse uradne seanse ter free practice, z različnimi avti ter progami), mi vedno po tistem connectingu, ko bi moralo pokazati full screen loading igre, zmrzne.. Vedno black screen!

Nameščal nisem nobenih novih driverjov, nobenega softwara.. Kakšen nasvet?
