Sector3 Studios has released new previews of a new racetrack coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience, one quite close to my heart (and my house!). Sonoma Raceway, one of the premier road courses in the United States America, and host to one of the 2 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series road races, has been announced to be coming to R3E early this year.

We have a smorgasbord of photos, showing off the circuit. Living 15 miles from the circuit, I have to say Sector3 has done a great job with recreating the 1.99-2.52 circuit (depending on configuration). Sonoma is a very challenging circuit, with many unique corners. One example is Turn 2, which has the apex of the corner actually being higher than the outside. The track can feature totally different passing points depending on configuration, which can make for some truly exciting racing.

Sonoma Raceway is raced at by series such as NASCAR, WTCC, IndyCar, (previously) ALMS, AMA, and more. It even hosts one of the 24H of LeMons races! Sonoma features around five different configurations, as well as a 1/4 mile drag strip used by the NHRA. Sonoma also features a karting circuit, which features just as many configurations, if not more. There is no word on how many configurations will be brought to R3E, but I think we can at least expect the full configuration, and hopefully the “Modified” configuration.
