In other news Sector3 have confirmed the next update will bring R3E full integration into the Steam platform, bringing changes to the way the game handles player accounts. Full details can be read in the official Sector3 statement below:

"We are preparing for an update that will go live in just a few weeks. There is one important change that we need to notify you guys about.

The upcoming update will change the way we handle player accounts. RaceRoom Racing Experience will fully integrate with Steam and players will no longer have to go through a registration form or have to use an email and password for login.

After the update new players will get an account generated automatically with their Steam and existing players will login with Steam automatically instead of using email and password.

This change requires that the existing accounts have logged in to the game at least once so that their account has been associated/linked to their Steam. Please note it is not enough to log in to our portal via a web browser.

Another change due to this update is that the "Switch Account" option in the account settings will no longer be available. This option was allowing players to "de-associate" their accounts so they could use the same R3E account with another Steam account. This will no longer be possible. If you are a player who were using this option, please make sure you are associated with the account you want to keep by June 14th."

They could throw Bathurst into an Asian pack. Not technically Asia but close enough!
