From Williams
iRacing.com will build a virtual version of the 2009 AT&T Williams FW31 and make it available to members of its internet-based global motorsport simulation service.
The announcement at the Autosport International show was made jointly by Williams F1 and iRacing.com Motorsport Simulation, LLC. For $12.95 US and less than $8.00 per month, anyone virtually anywhere in the world will be able to take the controls of a contemporary grand prix car, test its performance and race against other drivers.
The Williams car is expected to join iRacing’s vehicle inventory later this year.
Professional racers also use the iRacing service both for fun and to hone their existing skills and learn new tracks and cars. Former Formula One and current Indy car ace Justin Wilson is a well-known advocate for iRacing and NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is likely to be found competing in iRacing events late into the night following a real-world NASCAR Sprint Cup race.
The Williams FW31 joins the Dallara IC 09 Indy car, Riley Mk XX Daytona Prototype, Radical SR8 V8 sports car, Corvette C6.R Le Mans racer, the 1978 World Championship-winning Lotus 79 and a full complement of NASCAR machinery, including those that contest the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
More than 17,000 people have subscribed to the iRacing online driving service since it was opened to the public less than two years ago.
