Following a pause in new releases, RaceRoom Racing Experience will resume releasing fresh content before the end of March.

The long-awaited Circuit de Pau-Ville will become available for RaceRoom Racing Experience ‘next week’.
The venerated French street circuit, which has its roots as far back as 1933, was initially announced for an October 2023 release for the free-to-enter sim racing platform.
But plans changed. While a significant update in the form of a new tyre model was released in December, alongside the 2023 DTM pack which added real-world liveries and the Ferrari 296 GT3, Pau has been mysteriously missing.
That will change in a matter of days, however, as it will be part of an “upcoming content drop” according to the KW Studios-developed simulation.
Perhaps best known for holding the ‘Grand Prix de Pau’, across Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula 3000 and Formula 4 rulesets (among others), the event has been won by a vaunted list of drivers including Juan Manuel Fangio, Alberto Ascari, Jim Clark, Jack Brabham, Gil de Ferran, Juan Pablo Montoya Lewis Hamilton.
It is also etched into many more contemporary memories for an ill-advised safety car call, which robbed WTCC independent driver Franz Engstler of a possible victory in the most inauspicious of circumstances.
Speaking of that particular championship, RaceRoom does not have the 2009 season available, but 2013 is which includes Engstler’s (then turbocharged) BMW E90 with the distinctive Liqui Moly sponsorship.
There’s also a lineage to KW Studio’s Race 07 project (KW Studios formerly Sector3 Studios, formerly SimBin Studios – it’s all a bit complicated and for another time) which featured this venue nearly 17 years ago.
No pricing has been announced for this new representation of the venue, with recent additions typically around £4.25/€4.98. We also await an exact release date and confirmation if Pau will be the only new addition. Either way, RaceRoom’s content releases look to be back on track.
