Dubai Autodrome Confirmed for RaceRoom Racing Experience

Paul Jeffrey · Sep 30, 2019

Surprising few of our sim racing community, the Dubai Autodrome has been confirmed as the next track heading to RaceRoom Racing Experience.

Edit 02.10.2019: Track available now from the RaceRoom Store!

Having been lightly teased over the last few days, Sector3 Studios have finally confirmed the next circuit that is coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience will be the Dubai Autodrome - the UAE's first fully-integrated motorsport facility.

Running at 5.4km in length, the Dubai Autodrome is perhaps best known for several key motorsport events throughout its short history as a racing venue - most notable of which is probably various flirtations with top level endurance racing and touring car series throughout the years.

Keeping in tune with Sector3's trend of releasing less well known venues, the circuit should certainly offer up some opportunities for players to experience something a little bit different once it releases in the near future.

RaceRoom Racing Experience is a PC exclusive racing simulation, available now.

You have Steam Overlay enabled right? R3E uses it to complete transactions made within the game.

I will check, but unless something changed, it should be. I own every piece of content except Dubai. This is a first time issue. Could just be a fluke. I’ll check later tho. Thanks @Ross Garland

Yup vrp. It’s the confirm purchase after vrp is loaded that was holding me up.

After consulting my stingy wallet the response was that as long as this payment problem isnt solved I will not be allowed to try to buy this track.
But without any confirmation from this stingy wallet I hope you get this issue solved @sc

^^Yep, that's what I do when Steam Overlay inevitably fails to work 50% of the time.

Tried that, but it makes you sign in through steam to purchase. I'm baffled

sc4dr · Oct 5, 2019

FINALLY!! I've been trying for days to drive this damned track haha. Steam has been geeking out on me, but it finally went through! I'm so excited. Fabcar here I come.

@FeltHat Dude what a blast! I still need to learn the track a bit more, but it was fun watching you toss that Big ol Vette sideways around Dubai.

Did you find out what precisely was the issue?

EDIT: Nevermind. Under protest from my stingy wallet I first bought 1100 monopoly money and then (rather hesitantly) used some of these to buy the Dubai thing.
Nothing happened inside my Raceroom account.
But then I suddenly did remember something about a redem code pr mail.
And when I had poured this code into my account I could suddenly buy the Dubai thing - without probl.

And at least on the International layout I have no problem as a handicapped

to controll thr/br up on the wheel.
Hehe Im allready on top on the Leaderboard

But ok maybe its because Im the only driver in Dubay using FR90V8

I'm guessing the network was just busy? I didn't change any settings to get it working.

Yes, that's obviously necessary because the content is linked to your Steam account.

FR90's are so much fun on this track! I just ran the GP circuit in the V8. So awesome. I haven't had this much fun on a new track in years.....

Im not denying this link exist but what I did was to buy the VRP in the Raceroom Store without starting/login to Steam.
https://www.raceroomstore.com/shop_en/list_page?cat=24
Get the resulting redem code from my mailbox
And then start Raceroom game up which does auto start Steam + login
And then inside Raceroom game>Account paste the redem code
And then inside Raceroom game>Store buy the stuff with the now updated VRPs

Fully agree

I started with the International layout because its easier to learn than the full GP layout(for me

).
But when I have completed all 3x FR90 on the International LB before (hopefully) anyone else interfer with my lil personal LB project Ill check the GP version out.

Hehe just wait
