iRacing is a long-running online racing simulator with a dedicated, niche player base. Despite being released in 2008, it remains popular among motorsport enthusiasts due to its realism, ongoing content updates, and competitive scene. However, as a subscription-based simulator focused on serious players rather than mass-market appeal, daily active users are relatively modest compared to mainstream games.
