Headlining the new build of R3E will no doubt be the latest fresh content DLC to drop for the sim. Adding for the very first time vehicles from the historic Group C era, players now have the opportunity to purchase either the iconic Porsche 962C or Nissan R90 CK as additional game DLC, with the Group C pack retailing for approximately £9.36.
Powerful, high downforce and capable of matching the speeds achieved by Formula One cars of the period, Group C has long been held in high regard by fans of sportscar racing. Having announced recently as heading to R3E, this new content addition will no doubt provide an exciting prospect for those of us looking for high-speed endurance racing thrills…

In other content news, the new update also adds a further classic Porsche into the mix, introducing my personal favourite, the Porsche 911 Carrera Cup (964), a rear engine high performance and well-known racing car that held centre stage in the one make Porsche Carrera Cup series in the early 1990’s. This new class retails for around £3.40.
Featuring much less downforce than is enjoyed by fellow new content offerings of the Group C machines, this new class of car is much more orientated towards driver skill and race craft, making it potentially the perfect candidate for close door-to-door racing action.

While it is perhaps inevitable that the three new cars grab much of the headlines, the new build also includes a sizeable changelog and range of improvements to the core game experience. Of these, highlights include the long awaited inclusion of tyre pressures - although only available on selected cars for now.
