There is a race to watch every night this week, and you do not need a ticket, a parking spot, or sunscreen. iRacing's Weekly Tune-in lays out the full broadcast schedule from Thursday, October 22 through Wednesday, October 28, and it runs from open-wheel legends to a college tournament with a hundred drivers in it. The headliner is the start of the Porsche Esports Supercup World Championship on Saturday.
For South Florida residents who follow motorsports but cannot make it to a track on a given weekend, this is the week's cheap alternative: according to iRacing, everything on the slate airs on official iRacing broadcast channels and community broadcast crews. Here is the whole slate, night by night, so you can plan around it. This connects to our earlier piece, Peak Season: What the Community Should Know Before the Storm.
What is the biggest event of the week?
That is easy: the Porsche Esports Supercup World Championship kicks off Saturday, October 24 at 3 PM ET. Thirty-two of the best drivers from around the globe take on the series over five weekends of racing, and week one is at Monza in the Porsche GT3 Cup. iRacing itself handles the broadcast. If you watch one thing this week, make it this one. The field is small, the cars are fast, and the stakes run across the whole season.
Later that same afternoon, SimSpeed presents Super Formula (B) at 4:30 PM ET from Spa-Francorchamps, with the top split featured live and post-race interviews on the SimSpeed Discord. Sim Racing Nation, Tamas Setups, Full Push, 3R Simworks and Lap Labs support the broadcast.
What is on Thursday and Friday?
Thursday, October 22 opens the week at 2:15 PM ET with the Skip Barber Race Series at Okayama, broadcast by GSRC. The series is named for what iRacing calls the largest, most successful racing school in the world, and it gives members their first taste of open-wheel racing in the winged Formula Skip Barber 2000. The circuits change configuration week to week, so the challenges change too.
Friday is a doubleheader. At 3 PM ET, the Creator Series — billed as the place "where the biggest and best egos in sim racing go head to head" — goes MX-5 racing for Season 5, oddly enough at Martinsville, a track famous for fenders touching. Then at 5 PM ET, RACESPOT broadcasts the iRacing Radical e-CUP from Belle Isle, where drivers with a Class C license pilot the Radical SR10, a car built on acceleration, top-end speed and stopping power. Night owls get a third option: the SRX Broadcasted Split at 9:30 PM ET from Summit Point, streamed weekly on the HessZL1 YouTube channel with car counts anywhere from 8 to 16 drivers.
What about the weekend races?
Saturday morning starts early, at 9:30 AM ET, with the Lotus 49 Grand Prix Legends series at Bristol, broadcast by GSRC. The series honors what iRacing calls the Golden Age of Formula One — no ground effects, no carbon fiber brakes, no real-time data. Wins come down to car control and, as the series puts it, seat-of-the-pants feel.
Sunday belongs to endurance-flavored racing. The 2026 IMSA Esports Global Championship continues at 2 PM ET at Watkins Glen International, with top teams running multiple IMSA classes. iRacing broadcasts it, and the show leads in with an eNASCAR College Series showcase at the same track — a nice warm-up for the week ahead.
Why should I care about Monday and Tuesday nights?
Because the open-wheel block is deep. P1 Broadcasting carries four races across two nights. Monday, October 26 brings the iRacing INDYCAR Open Series at 8 PM ET from the Nürburgring, followed at 10 PM ET by the Indy NXT Road Series at Zandvoort. Tuesday, October 27 flips to ovals: the INDYCAR Oval Series at 8 PM ET from Mexico City, then the Indy NXT Oval Series at 9:45 PM ET from Milwaukee. The INDYCAR slate mixes road courses and ovals of all shapes and sizes, which iRacing says tests how well drivers and teams adapt. If you only know IndyCar from May, this is the fuller picture.
What is the Big Apple Battle?
Wednesday, October 28 closes the week with two races. At 2 PM ET, the British F4 Esports Championship runs at Silverstone, broadcast by RACESPOT and hosted on iRacing with support from Motorsport UK — a series iRacing describes as bigger and more competitive than ever in 2026.
Then at 7 PM ET, the eNASCAR College iRacing Series holds its third Tournament of the 2026-27 season, the Big Apple Battle, at Watkins Glen in the Ford Mustang GT4. The format is simple and brutal: 100 drivers enter, and only 40 advance to Week 2 and the Final Round. iRacing broadcasts it. A hundred college drivers, one cutoff line, and a road course with no room for mistakes — that is a genuinely tense hour of television, even if the television is a stream.
How do I actually watch all of this?
The Weekly Tune-in post includes a "Watch Here" link for every event on the schedule, so each broadcast is one click from the listing. Broadcasters range from iRacing's own channel to community crews like GSRC, RACESPOT, SimSpeed, P1 Broadcasting, Creator Series and HessZL1. Times listed above are Eastern; the post also lists local broadcast times in GMT and BST for viewers elsewhere.
If you would rather be in a race than watching one, iRacing points readers to its companion weekly post, This Week in iRacing, for what you can jump into and race yourself. And if this week's slate has you curious about sim racing's bigger calendar — including the events that touch closer to home — our earlier look at iRacing's weekly slate covers the same beat from a Miami angle.
