Sector3 Studios has done a great job this past year, turning RaceRoom Racing Experience into a very solid racing title. Now, they are adding even more features and content to the sim, so we are seeing even more happening. Sector3 has released a few new previews, showing off four new additions coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience.

First up, we have a preview of Sonoma Raceway, which is slated to be the next track coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience. This features a commentary by WTCC driver Tom Coronel, as a lap of the 2.5 mile circuit is completed. While we had to miss out on the 2014 WTCC race in real life, you’ll now be able to recreate it in RaceRoom Racing Experience.

Next, we have a preview of the new transmission model coming to the sim. This new video features a real-time overlay of the transmission’s torque readings, which shows how it is replicated. Previously, the transmission seemed quite “scripted”, and somewhat unrealistic. Now, with this new update, it seems a lot more dynamic and raw. This is a welcome addition to the sim, and I’m looking forward to testing it for myself.

To close out the previews, we have a couple videos, showing off features bound to please those looking to race. RaceRoom Racing Experience is getting the ability to form a custom championship offline, so you can compete across multiple races with the AI. You can choose the cars, pick out the tracks, and get going.

If you’re looking to compete online with friends, Sector3 is adding dedicated server functionality to RaceRoom Racing Experience. This looks to be one of the cleanest interfaces I’ve seen for a Dedicated Server, so let’s hope it works as well as it looks! I’d like to see other sims take note of this (*cough* rFactor 2 *cough*), to create a more streamlined experience for making a server.

With all of these things coming to the sim, we can be forgiven for remembering that RaceRoom Racing Experience is still a Free-to-Play title. They have been bringing this title to a whole new level, above and beyond what we expected a year ago. Sector3 looks to have a bright future ahead, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens.
