RaceRoom Update Talk ‘n’ Drive: Wednesday 30th Jan - 19:00 UTC

Paul Jeffrey · Jan 29, 2019

We get an early sneak peek of the upcoming new RaceRoom Racing Experience content and update - set to release very soon for the enjoyable racing simulation.

With every new patch comes plenty of excitement within the simracing community,regardless of the simulation in question, and the same goes for release day in RaceRoom Racing Experience. With a new build set to deploy to the sim before the end of the current week, we took the opportunity to check out some of the new content due to be made available within the title.

From the brand new ADAC GT Masters 2018 pack around the new Autodrom Most location, we take a look at the latest content offering from Sector3 Studios and share our opinions, thoughts and experiences with the new build.

We will be live on our RDTV Twitch channel from 19:00 UTC Wednesday 30th January, just before the scheduled running from our current programming schedule.

Enjoy!

RaceRoom Racing Experience is available as a free to play title on Steam PC now.

Sadly it won't be the full grid. Ferrari, Honda and Lamborghini won't be included in the pack, it's basically just new skins for cars that already exist in RaceRoom (Audi R8 LMS, BMW M6 GT3, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Callaway Corvette C7R and Porsche 911 GT3 R, as far as I know).

Hope they reworked physics for some older classes ( big hopes for touring classics)

Jerec · Jan 30, 2019

Hope we´ll see Ferrari and Lambo GT3 someday. They´re really missing like hell!

Lukasz Milewski · Jan 30, 2019

Down for maintenance

sector3 giving me that christmas feel every month

Does this sim still lack the ability to adjust tire pressure? I was always perplexed by this omission

Sadly yes. I really hope they add that option some time this year. Tyre pressures shouldn't be missing in a sim.

So long as they are optimal does it really matter that much?
Honestly curious.
I mainly play modded AC but did love RRE and tire pressures never bothered me at all.

Track flows perfect, the Mobil skin is great, feels fantastic with CSW2.5 & 918 RSR rim.

Serj · Jan 30, 2019

go to hell. Lost of same cars, nothing new..... wheres even one Aston Martin or Ginetta, wheres Ferrari at last, wheres BRANDS HATCH GP???? They release many tracks , but I wonder, why so delayed BRANDS HATCH GP? Is it so difficlult? -I think yes, because better to born again some gt3 cars...

Updated touring classics are coming, but not yet. But quite a few older classes did get physics updates lately if you haven't been following Raceroom.

Rory Wetherington · Jan 30, 2019

I own all RR3 content as well as all Race 07 content and I've never understood why they never released Brands Hatch GP either, it was in Race 07 and Race 07 even had RaceRoom content added late on, also a lot of tracks from Race 07 and STCC are now in RR3. Maybe it's some kinda licensing issue, but it is defiantly missed as is Ferrari. I'm still hoping for a Crown Plaza Raceway convert someday and the rest of the missing Race 07, STCC tracks.

How would you even know they are optimal? Still struggling to find the menu where it shows tyre temperatures across the tread when you are in the pits. Does it exist? Since you can't adjust the pressures I guess it would be of little use anyway.

Tyre pressures are not the only setup options missing from R3E. GTR2 which shares the same basic physics engine has at least double the options.

As far i know Alex only done his magic on the 95 dtm merc unless i've missed something, and im following raceroom quite a bit. Its currently best developing sim on the scene (ACC seems promising but only gt3 so meh...)

Its all there, install the awseome simhub software and get an overlay set up. Or better get a 7" hdmi lc from china and run your dash on it. Worth checking out.

Off the top of my head, GTR1 and Hillclimb Icons have been both updated recently. There also was the new manual transmission thing. Touring classics have been teased for some time as being worked on and nearly finished. Group 5 should be next I believe.

Andrew Harper · Jan 30, 2019

A nice update and anything like this is appreciated.

Yes I agree; a Lamborghini or Ferrari GT3 would be perfect. Surprised no Lamborghini as it seems that car was being released into quite a few sims. The Italian manufacturers seem to be really stubborn for things like this but it has got much better in recent years.

It’s funny though; being a DX9 engine I can run this sim at 4K on my TV, and on max settings and it just looks brilliant. Lovely attention to detail by this development team. Better than some DX11 engine based sims...and then of course there’s the soundtrack

A fun title and I need to race on it more often. Too much damn work! Lol

Tell us how you really feel? Don't hold anything back!

Isaac Chavira · Jan 30, 2019

I think they upgraded the Porsche to the current bodywork. I agree with you all that we need Ferrari, Lambo and Honda.

I really wish they would just come out and tell us why they do not include those machines. This way we all aren't speculating.

Honestly I foresee a eFormula Race Room car pack coming before and of the aforementioned. I'd really like to see the McLaren GT4 Cup Car come to the SIM.
