Paul Jeffrey · Apr 6, 2016

Following the recent big patch for RaceRoom Racing Experience and subsequent realignment of the car class structure in game Sector3 Studios have revealed the hugely successful Audi R18 TDI Ultra Prototype is due to be added to the newly titled P1 class very shortly.

While Sector3 secured a licence to recreate this car some time ago changing development priorities have delayed serious attention getting paid to this premier prototype racer in recent times, however the team behind RaceRoom Racing Experience have now released a batch of new screenshots and indicate release of the Audi is due imminently.

At 540hp and only 970kg in weight (including driver) the all-conquering R18 will joining P1 class fictional colleagues the DMD P20 and the Mistral M530 in a newly structured prototype category.

Former standalone US racer the Daytona Prototype has moved across to the renamed P2 class joining the Radical SR9's and fictional machines from Mistral and DMD. As can be seen in the below video the imminent release of the Audi is another small preparation for the sim having fully functional single player multiclass racing implemented in the near future.

The Audi R18 TDI Ultra will be joining the fastest class of cars currently available in RaceRoom SoonTM . RaceRoom Racing Experience is available to download now from the Steam platform.

Are you looking forward to multiclass racing in R3E? Yes ,
Will you purchase the R18 on release? Yes,I buy stuff I never drive ,
How do you think RaceRoom rates as a title for playing prototype series cars? Going by yesterdays race in the P2's 10/10,It helps that the club has a great crowd of really friendly people,also I really like the P2's,I liked them before the recent physics update,now they're even better,I'm not so sure I'm a fast enough driver to deal with the P1's though .

multiclass racing is what will make me spend a crap load of money on this game, i just love that too much.

Boby Kim · Apr 6, 2016

I hope that with the release of MC races also means we will have full flag support incl safety car and proper penalty system for not being patient and bumping slower cars of track.

Nick Gregory · Apr 6, 2016

Hopefully next up is either new GTO cars or ADAC 2015, which should bring in the Bentley.

So awesome, can't wait to give this a try.

looks and sounds very authentic

oscark · Apr 6, 2016

Amazing looks and sounds....

Not sure... if it's me getting old, blind and deaf, but this game is in my opinion the very best out there.
In terms of:
Graphics: 9.0/10
Handling: 9.5/10
Sound: 12/10... so why actually bother with any other sim...

..... R3E expensive ... ?? Not the way I look at it....
I treat the game like my wife.... I spend it all on her.... therefore no time for anything else...

Can get tedious at times

... but works out cheaper on the long term....

Only EU events. I don't understand why this game is such a ghost town on US timezone.

mokkun · Apr 7, 2016

I do regret a bit about signing up for iRacing instead of R3E. Guess I'll need to start playing both.

Pete Dunham · Apr 7, 2016

Hope they bring Multi class offline, nothing like 40 P1 P2 and GT2 and GT3 cars on 1 tracks for 6 hours.

Same as linking the DTM and 92 classics would be sweet.

Nick Gregory · Apr 7, 2016

Now available.

We have some members from across the pond who race with us, unfortunately sometimes netcode can be an issue also when US timezone races were organized the turnout was s not great. That's not to say we won't give it another try.
