RaceRoom | DTM 2020 DLC: First Previews Revealed

[Paul Jeffrey]

Sector3 Studios have shown off the upcoming 2020 spec DTM cars for the first time earlier today - giving players their first look at the newly re licensed series heading to the simulation in the very near future.

The DTM is set to return to RaceRoom Racing Experience for the first time since 2016 in the near future, following the surprise announcement that Sector3 Studios have rekindled their licence with the German championship for the 2020 (and possibly last?) recreation of the high speed tin top category.

Now featuring just Audi and BMW, the real world DTM is in something of a crisis as ITR and Gehard Berger struggle to overcome the recent losses of Mercedes, Aston Martin and soon to be Audi, but that hasn't stopped Sector3 Studios for bringing back this awesome category to RaceRoom Racing Experience - adding the 2020 Class-1 regulation Audi RS5 and BMW P48 turbo cars to the simulation.

The preview images from the studio haven't come with much in the way of additional information, other than the promising statement that players 'won't have to wait long' to drive the cars - so expect a release in the coming days!


RaceRoom Racing Experience is available now, exclusively to PC.

Want to join in some cool racing action online with other fans of the simulation? No worries, head over to the RaceRoom Racing Experience sub forum here at RaceDepartment and get your name down for one of our races!

I was just watching practice earlier today and even wrote on the chat that these would coming soon in the sim, nice!

 

[bgil66]

Wonder if they're gonna be as bouncy as the real thing. Watched practice earlier and the way they move about makes the cars look so light that they will blow away with a light breeze

When I seen them earlier I was like.... wow that is really porpoising

 

[Dady Cairo]

WoW,a complete new Season with only two cars,that was easy.Let the Audi-BMW games begin..the last time.

 

[Cheesenium]

Now I hope they will bring the friends for the lone classic Mercedes Benz DTM.

About time we got a DTM update to this sim

 

[space.jazz]

I guess I must be the only one that has no real enthusiasm for this upcoming content. This may be the first class (other than the lone classic Merc DTMs) that I don't buy.

As an aside, it is just me or do the screenshots above not look as good as usual? The cars look very... gamey?

They're too clean

It's pretty close to a formula car, but with a carbon shell.
Some of the lesser used tracks they drive on are really bumpy.
Combined with a rock hard suspension and you go all over the place.
Lauzitsring and Norisring are the most extreme examples.

They don't have sophisticated PBR shaders as all the other sims have by now.
That makes the car's look a bit dull.
But as soon as you are driving a normal midday session, you hardly notice it.
Even the best looking racingsims look dated at 14:00 hrs with a dry the afternoon.

That's not it though, since I'm comparing these cars to others in R3E itself.

Whoops. I just meant they have no grime on them from racing

 

[Alex Harkett]

I love R3E but I just don’t give it the time it deserves, even though every time I have a race in it I thoroughly enjoy it. DTM 92 at the Nordschleife anyone?
Last night I had a run in the WTCC 2013 cars and was accurately chased down by Yvan Muller in the Chevy Cruze.
These DTM cars should be superb and I’ll definitely be downloading them.

 

[bgil66]

Looking forward and I hope there is a C8.R in Raceroom future

 

[M-Bimmer]

Those 2020 bimmers and mercs should be crazy fast when compared to their old selves.
(would have been awesome if the Astons would still be around in the DTM new turbo era )

 

[fabofaboso]

Is it a free uptade DLC?

 

[UMC 22]

Is it a free uptade DLC?

No, because it's not an update. It's entirely new content.

 

[MustartMatters]

will it come with all the circuits?

 

[Kenny Paton]

will it come with all the circuits?

They're only needing Assen to complete the season, and I'm sure I read that a track is being worked on.

 

[ACHIM-K]

When ist it coming?

 

[Trebor901]

Mid September according to the release notes of the last patch

 

[moritz1998]

Got a decent time on my stream yesterday that is currently P2 on the leaderboard. Might help some drivers that try to learn and improve in the car.
