Milwaukee Mile Added to iRacing Simulation Service

BEDFORD, MA. October 2, 2008 – iRacing.com today announced the addition of the Milwaukee Mile to its online motorsport simulation and internet racing service. The legendary low-banked oval is now available to iRacing members for testing purposes and will be a prominent feature for the competition side of the service starting next month.

“The Milwaukee Mile has both history and heritage,” said Scott McKee, iRacing’s vice president of marketing. “But given the interactive nature of our service, the challenge that this unique venue poses to drivers is our true focus. We’re confident that all of our members, whether they race in the physical world, the virtual world or both, will want to spend some time on The Mile.”

As with all iRacing tracks, which include road courses, superspeedways and short ovals, Milwaukee has been replicated using iRacing’s proprietary laser-scanning process. Every feature of the track, including the oval, the infield road course and the “Mini Mile” configurations, has been captured with millimeter precision in the iRacing model.

“The Milwaukee Mile, which hosted its first race in 1903 is the oldest continuously operated speedway in the world, and we’re thrilled to enter a new era of motorsports with iRacing.” said Chad Kenny, vice president of marketing for the speedway. “The Mile is a driver’s track, and we hope that the iRacing members find just as much joy navigating through our wide, flat turns as our fans have had watching A.J. Foyt, the Andrettis, the Unsers, Dale Earnhardt, Matt Kenseth, and the rest of the big names in our sport compete at our historic facility.”
