- I think I'm not alone in the palpable excitement generated by IndyCar's announcement to hold the 2024 finale on Nashville Superspeedway instead of the chaotic Street Course. So what else can I do than try it out for myself! This time in iRacing with their wonderful AI.
Let's see what IndyCar's 2024 finale might actually be like!

Five oval tracks (totaling 7 races), five street circuits, and five road courses on the Indy schedule now - and to me that split feels just about perfect.
That's all things should be I guess.
Wish we could have Fontana and Texas
Not a fan of double headers, I would rather have them race at two different ovals. Pocono is the entire reason for having the aeroscreen and yet we still don't race there, and loudon is perfect for indycar.
They have two races at Indy, so I feel like they should ping-pong between areas with two races each: Nashville speedway and the street course, Detroit and most important of all bring back Michigan Speedwayyyyyy
Indycar fans will look at this and just think “heck yeah”
Hell yeah
Yeah, but will they buy tickets? Road and street races always feel more packed than ovals, lately…
@@antoniettolsI think it's because ovals have bigger stands so it's much easier for them to look bare
@@antoniettols that’s another issue. Not only lack of advertisements but also lack of attendance
@@antoniettols idk why people wanna attend circuit races. Like yeah most of the races are good, but ovals are better for the sport and the sport was built on ovals.
As my home track under an hour away, very thrilled we’re getting the Astor Cup awarded at a track that we all thought was pronounced dead in 2012 and for 10 long years after that. The local news stations would revisit it every now and then during that time period. It was sad.
Love the Papyrus ICR livery.
Awesome video!! Lovely to hear some excitement and optimism around the series 😊 and I feel like short to mid-length ovals are ideally suited to modern Indycar, Gateway and Iowa have been good fun, and Im excited for Milwaukee and Nashville this year!
According the the 2024 rule book. NSS is considered a short oval. Cus it’s under 1.4 miles long. So it will be short oval wings sadly
Hope all's well, Jake. You mentioned bad news upon bad news at the start.
Ofc iRacing races aren't exactly the same as real life but still seeing this, honestly would have been interested in seeing the current superspeedway package being used on this oval. Such a shame they decided to count this as a short oval
Hi there! Why you don´t show the actual speed?
I always want to know it ...
Great race mate. I often wonder with these cars why they didn’t put a removable lid on the cockpit.
Gplaps, iracing against AI? Amazing!
Iracing has the best AI in simracing. I have Iracing just to race against AI.
Love it
ah yes, indy 500 winner graham hill
IRacing has definitely a decent AI, probably the best in ovals, but... Still annoying to see the quirks. After pitting they were really slow for a while. It is just so immersion breaker for me I just can't.
I also try ovals in AMS2 each time they improve something. Ovals are definitely worse there, but it is the other modern option we have (any other is definitely unplayable).
My opinion, neither is worth it to do something serious, like a full championship. I'll keep waiting and dreaming.
Nice video Jake.
Graham Hill?
First
A 24-race calendar with 1/4 short ovals, 1/4 speedways, and 1/2 natural terrain road courses with a few street circuits for variety would be my dream calendar, personally.
Speedways are where IndyCar shines because the sheer speed generates awe that few series can match, if any. No other series has 240+ mph cars, and IndyCar doesn't take advantage of that enough.
Thanks Jake, glad to see some IndyCar love! Hoping to hear your thoughts on Le Mans Ultimate as well soon!
2x this
Hi David, LMU is really great, very innovative and a step above on other sims already in terms of driving experience and sound quality. This is surrounded by a huge attention to details on all aspects! You need to see it!
LMU is already magnificent, I have not been so blown away with a release since GP Legends. It is RF2.5 thankfully keeping all that wonderful feel and physics, but enhanced, runs smooth as silk in VR (easy enabled) not one for eye candy but it also looks utterly glorious. Couple this with an online ranking race system I can see this converting many. Best £25.00 I have spent for years.
Love the Indycar 2 paint job.
If you're interested in learning more about setting up this car, brandon traino's guide is really in depth and will help a lot if you plan on doing more with it.
See having a backup track in the same area is a good idea. Also another oval too!
Thank you kindly for the shout-out, but all credit to Jeff McKnead for his amazing work!
This brings me tears of joy and a smile on my face
indy car is the best racing series so pumped for st pete
and iracing is the best modern indy car sim easily I hope people run it next season now that it will be back at indy car tracks

Reset your car adjustments Jake. Don't know if iRacing is that realistic, but a lot of guys end up yeeting into the pits backwards because they forgot to reset those settings... ;)
Cannot agree with you more on the green flag pits and F1’s emphasis on the pit strategies. Unfortunately, I think it will always be difficult to represent in the American series because of how commercial breaks tend to obscure the pit stops.
It’s been a dumb winter for me, but once racing season starts, it’s alright
Is this game out on PS five now?
That's quite good. If the real life racing is as good as what we've just seen, it should be a banger of a race.
Just a bit sad that you didn't find a skin resembling Ryan Axelson's Sunoco-Papyrus colours.
When it comes to the AI with IndyCar on ovals in iRacing, i set the fuel map to 5 or 8 on starts and restarts until it feels like I'm getting thrashed by the bots, then I turn it to whatever I'd normally set it to.
Impressed you managed to get them competitive in an evening, iRacing ai are ridiculously OP when the track is cool
42% for the fastest cars haha
I'm so happy that they are going to a oval to end the season instead of having another street Race can wait to see how the cars Adjust to a Slick hot Nashville superspeedway.
Maybe the iRacing AI is by real the best of all the modern sims out there, as you say, but AMS2 is not that far behind of it, I guess!
Some useful tidbits from me(I use the iRacing ai a lot to have races when the officials aren't anything I'm interested in):
- The slowness at the start is an issue that's been present as long as the Indycar has had AI, they are always slow on cold tires for 2/3 laps. Nothing you do to the AI settings will change that unfortunately. It is a thing in most cars but is definitely more prevalent in the Indycar.
- The difference in pace as a race goes isn't on your setup, there is a known issue with the AI that in colder conditions(sunset/night racing) they have a huge difference in grip compared to the player. The devs are aware and are hoping the upcoming rain updates will help with this problem, but for now it is the best to run AI races using noon/afternoon time(though unfortunately less aesthetically pleasing).
I'll be there for the 4th year in a row and my first Indy Super Speedway!!! Can't wait!!
If it worked for NASCAR. There's no secret that IndyCar will do the same. Speeding over 200 mph piloting a Formula Speedway car sounds like a recipe for Madness Hoagie but, at the same time, it sounds like a strong Rush of caffeine, adrenaline, and Zen all at once because the idea of having a Formula Speedway car doing circles on a super speedway. Excitement and hype is palpable. I'm looking forward to that to see some of this. Coming in hot fast, fast fast, bad fast, funky fast.
I'm sorry, I can't echo the sentiment. The Nashville oval just feels like another intermediate to me, really. Michigan and Pocono are real super speedways, but I'm not holding out much hope of IndyCar ever returning to either of those.
Yes, the street circuit could have used some work, though not even as much as Detroit, I'd say. And I can't think of a comparable visual to the cars going over the bridge next to downtown when trying to picture racing at the oval.
And just for comparison, the 2 main straights at Indy are 3,300 ft, while the longer run over the river in Nashville was ~3,580 ft, and even the shorter one was likely ~2,750 ft, so still better than half a mile in length (plenty of room to pass).
I may also be feeling a bit of burnout of sorts thanks to NASCAR, but let's face it, top-level ovals, in terms of length, banking, shape, and consistency are decidedly more homogenized than in the old USAC days, certainly. And I mean, compared to CART, we don't have Nazareth as an "irregularly" shaped oval even. In theory, it might be nice to get back to Loudon. I feel like Richmond is a bit too short for these cars; plus, the shape and banking is already very similar to Iowa. Unfortunately, Phoenix was remade specifically for NASCAR.
And it's hard to know just how the current Indy Cars will handle the concrete surface. Even when it was paved in asphalt, USAC went to Dover, once, in 1969, and never went back. The IRL tried there twice (1998-99), and left, too.
It's still going to be Daylight Savings, so I doubt they'll start the race at dusk here.
I don't know about that. TMS is longer, the banking is steeper, and if anything, it looks like the corners there are a larger proportion of the lap compared to Nashville. In other words, the turns at Nashville are tighter, and not just by dint of the oval being shorter overall.
The big thing that spiced up the racing on the shorter ovals especially in CART was just the speed differential through the field. That's what led to the wild inside/outside moves you'd see at places like Nazareth as they were working through (much slower) lapped cars.
Graham Hill? I know I've mentioned USAC a few times, but...
I figure at least 225 laps (300 miles0, and maybe up to 300 laps (400 miles).
I'd like to get to a race, though I'd probably say IMSA ranks a tad higher on my list than IndyCar. Also, a lot is just dependent on weather, but if it's the warmer part of the year, I'm going to want to go somewhere where i can watch in some shade. (The Gulf humidity here in Kansas in summer is already bad enough.)
How did you able to play with the real indycar drivers AI?
In other news, Graham Hill has apparently teleported into Graham Rahals body.. lol
I really wanna see Indycar make a return to Kansas Speedway, I never got the chance to experience it as I live relatively close to the speedway
We definitely need Texas back!! They really figured out the package in 2023. Stellar race it was!!!
iRacing AI is currently developed for default weather. So you will have the best experience if you stick to those parameters. They can get a little too fast or slow if you deviate from that.
But now we know that it will be a short oval race instead of SS
Do you have a problem where a few of the AI paints won't load in the session? Different ones each time, seemingly random
how are Indycars in the rain? any good powerslide action possible?
Lol'd at "Graham Hill."
going to be a snoozer with these stinky hybrids
What kind of steering wheel do you have
What song is playing at the beginning?
Another race I would love to attend.
any SC or FCY in iracing??
Why was the wheel static
Love this! I’d love an iRacing INDYCAR career brother!
Thanks alot. Inspired me to try out the iracing ai a lot more. trading paints skin packs are absolutely amazing, not just for indycar but for many other real racing series! Great content, enjoyed it a lot!
I'm glad we got another oval, but I just hope it's not like last year were Newgarden just ran away with each race minus Gateway.
👏
Awesome choice for indycar. Hate that nascar doesnt end it at nashville
The AI suck on cold tires. After a few laps they get really good
iRacing has theeee best AI hands down bar none. So happy IndyCar has reunited with iRacing.
And Jake, look me up. I wanna race with you. 😊
Another GPLaps banger
So excited to go to this race
iRacing looks great! Always respected the developers. Nice and "FAST".
Fantastic video! Yeah it’s crazy how good the AI is, not just on oval but road too. With weather coming shortly, it’s becoming a huge contender in the single-player racing space.
