“iRacing has long been interested in expanding into other niches in the racing game market, and we are excited to do so with Original Fire Games. We have a lot of respect for what they did with Circuit Superstars, as many on our team have played and loved the game. Their existing game is fun, very high quality, and the driving is great, three of the things we insist on having in all of our games. Teaming up with them is a great opportunity for us to enter this space with a solid foundation on which we can build. Games like these create new racing enthusiasts who ultimately become the next generation of sim racers and the future player base for our simulations. We can’t wait for players to get their hands on this all-new finished product,” iRacing President Tony Gardner.
“Original Fire Games is thrilled to partner with iRacing to bring a new game to motorsport fans in 2025. What we created with Circuit Superstars showed us that there is a hunger for arcade-like racing that matches motorsport. As a leader in the simulation racing industry for nearly two decades, iRacing has the talent, experience and technology that can help us unlock the potential of the foundation we have laid to date. iRacing has a history of exploring new racing genres and they recognized the potential of our debut title. This merger of our two companies represents a fantastic opportunity to create our best game to date,” Carolina Mastretta, co-founder and studio director of Original Fire Games.
