What\u2019s Happening?<\/p>\n
After months of questions from fans, iRacing Studios is finally adding more number choices for players making custom cars in the game\u2019s paint kit.<\/p>\n
The January patch will be live on ALL platforms by around Noon EST tomorrow, 1\/21\/2026. It will include the following updates:<\/p>\n

NASCAR tells us what numbers we can \/ cannot use.<\/p>\n \u2014 Matt Lewis (@MTL0331) October 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n While there is no explanation for these additions, it could factor into what teams claim what numbers for the 2025-26 season, or even a change of heart from NASCAR. Regardless, fans who use the game\u2019s expansive paint kit will be happy to have the expanded selection.<\/p>\n These additional numbers will come as part of a broad sweeping update set to go live on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Alongside the addition of these numbers, iRacing is adding and modernizing the look of Sonoma Raceway, adding Portland International Raceway to single-player and online mode for the Xfinity and ARCA Menards Series, and tweaking some gameplay aspects.<\/p>\n What do you think about this?
