RaceRoom | December Update and BMW M4 GT4 Coming This Week

Paul Jeffrey · Dec 10, 2019

Sector3 Studios have confirmed this week will see the release of the BMW M4 GT4 as part of the upcoming December build update for the game.

That's right, having been teased by the studio back in early November, we now finally have a launch date for the upcoming BWM M4 GT4 - this week!

Yes, car number four of the every increasing GT4 category within the game is about to be made available in the oh so very near future, joining forces with the KTM X-Bow, Lotus Evora and Porsche Cayman already released, plus a new 718 Cayman Clubsport that should arrive later in the month - GT4 is certainly growing rapidly within the sim!

While we await the new build update, check out the freshly released trailer for the BMW M4 GT4 below:

RaceRoom Racing Experience is available now exclusively on PC.

i really hope that moving clouds are not going to kill performance on my GTX 1070..
So far it has been the best simulator in VR for me..

Just a little boost but about 30% or so but i have the ti 1070 seems if moving to 2070 get same but better performace

I'd be amazed if people cannot Run RRE max that game like 9 years old isn't it?

i'm going from a i5 6600k and a 1060 so the performance inc will be great (i hope). put it this way i can't play ACC at all. RRE on mine does not run totally smoothly. raced online last night at paul ricard and and 1 point in the lap it was getting choppy

Why does it have to go down to get the updates ?

Because it's a game that requires online access to the servers to even start, regardless of whether you want to play online or off. The servers need to go down to be patched, same as the game client.

BrunoBæ · Dec 11, 2019

But why does it have to take so long?
Cant they just postpone their lunch (and maybe their cigarette pause too)?
We have payed for this shiiit guys

Ciccina2016 · Dec 11, 2019

it is a beefy update... love it any minute I wait

UMC 22 · Dec 11, 2019

I'm usually quite a patient guy when it come to this kind of thing.

But not today.

C'mon dammit, hurry the **** up!

Don't get your hopes up *too* much, though, to not set yourself up for disappointment. Like we talked about, Raceroom is severely CPU limited for single-threaded performance on most current hardware (like pretty much all sims), so the actual increase in performance might be smaller than you'd think. But there should be one, so that's a good news

I'd say between 10-20 percent. And the overall system should run better as well, as it will have more threads for the background tasks, plus it's a newer system in general.

You can download the update now, but the servers are still down. Update size is 4.4GB.
