New RaceRoom Update Out Now, Adds Group C & Porsche DLC!

Published April 4th, 2019:

The well-known PC racing simulator RaceRoom Racing Experience has been updated, adding plenty of new content into the title.

Sector3 Studios have released a major update for RaceRoom, resulting in several new vehicles and a host of fixes and improvements. Headlining this update is the introduction of the legendary Group C into the game through the Porsche 962C and the Nissan R90CK. Each of these cars is formidable on the track, with the 1992 Porsche 962C packing a 3.2L flat-6 producing 750HP and the Nissan providing great competition through a roaring V8 engine producing 588KW. Both of these iconic vehicles have been added to the RaceRoom store and can each be bought individually for $4.47 (399 VRP), with each of the two vehicles liveries up for $0.33 (29 VRP). There certainly are a lot of liveries for each of the vehicles as well, with the Porsche getting eight livery variants and the Nissan sporting eleven purchasable paint schemes. If you're interested in picking up all of the available liveries alongside the car of your choice, then you can currently get them all in a livery pack for each vehicle, which is priced at $6.71 (599 VRP) for the Nissan or $6.04 (539 VRP) for the Porsche. Alternatively, you can get access to everything for a total of $12.32 (1099 VRP).

That's not all however, as Sector3 have also added another new car to the RaceRoom store, the Porsche 911 Carrera Cup (964). Equipped with a highly capable 3.6L Flat-6, this storied Porsche is one of the most noteworthy track cars of its era. Players interested in getting behind the wheel of the German vehicle can do so for a total of $4.47 (399 VRP). Once again, each of the 33 differing liveries can be bought for a total of 33 cents apiece. If you want all of the liveries bundled in one package, you can purchase them all with the car for $8.73 (779 VRP).

We already knew that both of these two new types of vehicles were coming to RaceRoom sometime soon, but it's nice to see them finally released and available. Their introduction into the game is far from the only changes made by this latest update. For more specific details regarding the new release, you can view the developer's notes below.
