Talk and Drive: RaceRoom Road America Preview

[Paul Jeffrey]

We take to the as yet unreleased RaceRoom Racing Experience version of Road America for a quick look at this beautiful American racing location.

Confirmed yesterday as the latest circuit due to hit RaceRoom Racing Experience in the very near future, Road America is one of the most requested and anticipated tracks from the American racing scene yet to be digitally represented in the excellent Sector3 Studios developed sim.

Ahead of the public release scheduled for the very near future, we take the opportunity to head out on circuit and put down a few laps around one of the most visually impressive tracks to be added to this increasingly impressive racing simulation..



RaceRoom Racing Experience is available exclusively to PC on a free to play platform with additional content available at a further cost.

The Silverstone of America. And nearly as good. Great chat Paul. Great track.

 

[M D Gourley]

[Robert Stanley]

Great idea (brings a web review to life); quality, hope you review future important releases like this Also, some native tracks for Formula US & Daytona prototypes welcome

Thanks Paul great Talk& Drive, the track does look stunning in all aspects.

The Silverstone of America. And nearly as good. Great chat Paul. Great track.

I think it's 10 times better then Silverstone.

- a European

It's good to have different opinions. I personally love Silverstone because I love doing track days there on my track bike. But I love RA in the sim world.

The dude driving should be using Hulk Hands. Just because.

Really nice track, but the carousal looks too evenly banked? One of the “personality” points of that track is the loss of camber mid way though, just before exit.

Absolutely man! Expect lots, and lots and lots of interesting (hopefully) and exciting (also hopefully) stuff coming in 2018. Got loads of plans, and loads of prep is already underway for them. Likely to be seeing more of my ugly mug on't small telly in the very near future

I quite like the Henry Rifles billboard.

Point for Sector3 that continues to deliver the most desired tracks from the community list

Strange, my comment was based on Empty Box video, but here in Paul’s video you can very clearly see where the carousal camber changes, this track looks damn near perfect.

Raceroom has been peaking my curiosity for months now. So much so I buy some stuff on sale though not quite fired it up yet (played it years ago). Not sure how well it works in VR. But I like what I’m seeing a whole lot.

Is this track laser scanned?

Is this track laser scanned?

It is brilliant in VR, i had a few months of the screen greying out periodically but i managed to get rid of that somehow and it is just brilliant. Not as wow as PC2 and AC, but personally i dont care much once the driving gets underway.

Please bring Sebring to this game.

 

[leseb64]

really good track! amazing looking

As Paul mentions in the video, the thing I loved about the detail on this track was the weathering.

Sector 3 have taken a lot of time to put in all the repaired patches, worn kerbs, patchy grass and so on. It's little details like these that really make a track complete.

They must of taken 1,000's of reference photos to make this track, great job guys.

It will certainly be an instant buy for me when it becomes available
