How Many Cars Are in Iracing

Answering how many cars are in iRacing and why numbers change. For iRacing drivers: learn how to check owned/installed cars and fix missing cars fast today.

Short answer: iRacing has roughly 200+ different cars (the exact number changes as iRacing adds new releases or updates old ones). You’re in the right place — below I’ll show how to get the current exact count for your account and fix it if cars you expect are missing.

Quick Answer

how many cars are in iracing There are over 200 cars available on the iRacing service, but the exact count varies with new releases and retirements. To see the precise number for your account, check My Content on the iRacing member site or the in-sim car browser — steps below.

What’s Really Going On

iRacing’s car list is a live catalog: new cars are added in patches and special releases, and older models may be remastered or combined into packs. Two reasons people get confused:

  • You see fewer cars than advertised because you don’t own or haven’t installed them.
  • The game’s filters or event selection hide cars (for example, “My Licensed Cars” vs “All Cars”).

So the headline number you read online is the total iRacing offers globally; your usable list depends on ownership, installation, and filters.

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Log into the iRacing member site (members.iracing.com). Open My Content > Cars and count the items shown — that’s your owned car total.
  2. In the iRacing launcher, make sure the updater completed. If something is downloading, let it finish — unfinished downloads hide cars in the sim.
  3. Start iRacing and go to the Garage / Car selection screen. Remove any filters (like “Owned” or series filters) to show the full list.
  4. If a car you own doesn’t appear, on the member site go to My Content > click the car > choose “Download” or “Install” if available, then check the launcher’s queue.
  5. Still missing? Log out and back into both the launcher and the website, then verify you’re using the same account email. If that fails, run the launcher repair: Settings > Repair (or reinstall the launcher) to refresh the content index.

Extra Tips / Checklist

  • Owned vs Installed: “Owned” means you purchased or it’s included; “installed” means files are on your PC. Both matter.
  • DLC Packs: Some cars come in packs. Check packs in My Content if you expected multiple variants.
  • Filters: In-sim filters (series, class, era) commonly hide cars. Reset filters first.
  • Account mix-up: If you have multiple iRacing accounts, make sure you’re on the right one.
  • Launcher queue: Always check the download queue after buying content — purchases don’t show until installed.

FAQs

Q: Can the number of cars change day-to-day?
A: Yes. iRacing adds cars periodically and sometimes retires or replaces models, so totals change over time.

Q: Why do I see fewer cars than my friend?
A: Likely because you don’t own the same cars or your filters/installed content differ. Compare My Content lists.

Q: How do I count only the cars I can race right now?
A: In the member site, filter My Content > Cars and then in-sim remove filters and check the Garage; installed cars are the ones you can immediately use.

Q: Does subscription level affect car access?
A: Some content is included with a subscription; others are paid. Your owned list depends on purchases and included cars.

Wrap-Up

The global iRacing catalog is over 200 cars and grows. If your personal list looks wrong, use My Content on the member site, check the launcher download queue, and clear filters in the sim. Try the steps above now — they’ll show the exact number you own and get any missing cars installed fast.
