is iRacing quietly popping off?
I run a stats collecting site and noted recently that all disciplines, but Sports Cars especially, have absolutely popped off since the start of 2025 Season 1 in December. According to my data the average # of starts per day has gone from ~185,000 to ~320,000, a massive 72.9% increase.
Note: I don't count unique drivers, just the # of starts so this could simply mean that a lot of drivers are driving more - some of this increase is likely due to the popularity of the BMW M2 which has not seemed to take away from the MX-5 start counts.
Edit: as u/shunny14 points out, "the most populated rookie series are now every 30 minutes"
Regardless, this seems pretty significant.
