The 10 Most Popular Tracks in iRacing - Part 2

Our journey through the most popular circuits in iRacing continues. After covering the first five (selected based on average participation during official seasons and special events), we now move on to explore five additional legendary tracks that consistently attract high numbers of sim racers and are widely praised by the community.

“Respect the bumps” - the iconic phrase perfectly captures the spirit of this Florida-based circuit. Sebring is a true test of endurance and technical skill. With its unique mix of concrete and asphalt, grip levels constantly shift throughout the lap, challenging drivers to adapt. The infamous bumps, especially through the Sunset Bend (the final corner), can lift wheels off the ground and unsettle even the best setups. Getting the car to flow properly is a demanding task, especially across a long race stint. Sebring is the host of the prestigious 12 Hours of Sebring, featuring Hypercars, LMP2s, and GT3 machines.

Monza, the second-oldest still existing permanent motorsport venue in the world (only Indianapolis is older), is all about speed. With long straights and a few but very technical corners, it’s a slipstream battlefield where fuel saving and racecraft are key. Races here often come down to last-lap showdowns. The first chicane, however, is notoriously dangerous: many races have seen half the field wiped out in the opening seconds. Still, when clean, Monza offers some of the most thrilling and strategic racing on the service.

This legendary 8-shaped Japanese circuit is a favorite among both GT and Formula drivers. It’s fast, flowing, and packed with elevation changes. Suzuka rewards precision and rhythm, with sections like the “Esses” demanding total concentration. Spoon Curve hide treacherous traps: nail the entry, straddle the curbs, and manage the car’s rebound, all while maintaining speed. Easier said than done. Suzuka is also one of the most satisfying circuits to master, especially when you see that delta light up green.

Back in the U.S., Road Atlanta offers a short but intense lap. Home to the 10-hour Petit Le Mans endurance race (featuring Hypercars, LMP2s, and GT3s), this circuit is known for its undulating terrain and fast, flowing layout. The Esses demand laser-sharp precision, and even minor mistakes can send drivers flying off track. High curbs are another signature feature; taking them just right can be the difference between a clean, fast lap and a chaotic one. Few places test your control and consistency like Road Atlanta.

Lets close this list with Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. An old-school classic loved across many car classes. With fast corners, tight sections, and plenty of overtaking opportunities, it’s a complete challenge. Sim racers must be careful when committing to passes, as track width is limited and grass awaits just inches off-line. Winning here is always something special.
