DTM 2021 Pack Released for RaceRoom Racing Experience


The 2021 DTM car pack is now available in the RaceRoom Racing Experience store.

RaceRoom Racing Experience has long been the virtual home for the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters race series, and now a 2021 DTM pack has been added to the sim.

The release brings with it the addition of two new cars, the Ferrari 488 GT3 and the McLaren 720S GT3. This is the debut of Ferrari in RaceRoom, and the fifth McLaren car in the game.

Sector 3 has brought us multiple seasons of DTM in R3E, dating back all the way to 1992. More recently, RaceRoom offered the powerful, wide cars of the 2013-2020 DTM series that included DRS and push-to-pass functions, making them incredibly fast race cars. That era of DTM included entries from Mercedes, BMW and Audi, but after the support of manufacturers dropped off, the series moved to the GT3 cars featured in this 2021 pack.

The pack on offer in RaceRoom features all 2021 entries except the Lamborghini Huracan GT3, and includes 6 vehicles and 22 liveries. All of the tracks on the 2022 DTM calendar are available through the RaceRoom store.

New sim content is always exciting, so if you want to try out either of the new cars or any of the other cars offered via the RaceRoom store, you can test drive them in the game at any time.

Be sure to let us know your thoughts on the 2021 DTM pack for RaceRoom in the comments below.

Sorry but anybody with at least half a brain must understand that the previous regulations caused financial problems. Those awesome cars and their maitenance were way too expensive. DTM went downhill and only two brands attending in 2020 was the real disgrace. Don't forget that in the '90s and early '00s the series was one of the many European touring car series featuring the same group A cars with slightly different specs, still many fans think those were the golden years for DTM.

Good luck with your boycott i guess, but frankly, you should rather be happy that DTM is still alive in some form

What are you even talking about? Did I mention the reason behind it? So, nice story "mr. half brain, I guess".... just ask before you feel the need to be smart and don't kow the whole story.
I was talking about the season finale last year with KVL and Götz&Co. So please go and try to insult somebody else....

OK, that makes sense. Sorry for the insult!

Patience. 488 is already confirmed to get included in GTR3 class soon. 720S will very likely follow at some point. And if you buy them now, you'll only have to pay for liveries later.

I won't be surprised if DTM 2021 will be added to joint GTR3/ADAC races anyway since the BOP is the same.

But the DTM 21 class is real. The GTR3 class is fake.

The GTR classes are more a collection of all the liveries that don't belong to a specific pack. At least that's how I interpret it. It's not like you'd expect ADAC GT Masters to go to Asia, but we have Asia-specific liveries in GTR3.

That's why it's so infuriating that they'll put the Ferrari and McLaren and Bentley only in an official pack when all it takes to make them GTR3-ready is adding a few extra liveries.

In the end though it doesn't matter where the car itself is located--just give me more liveries!

Edit: Deleted some unnecessary insults caused by misunderstanding on my part. Sorry!

Totally agree DTM was a rich man's series at best, tube frames and carbon fiber bodies aren't cheap, and the cost was getting higher all the time. If they kept that format, DTM wouldn't be around today. FIA, and IMSA as well are trying to find ways to keep racing more affordable for fear of losing it's biggest audience, us. And each series regardless of the cars is really about the drivers, and DTM has some of the best in the world. I live in a DTM blackout zone, so I only got to watch round one at Monza last night. the racing was incredibly close and kept me interested throughout the whole race. On the same note I watched a GT1/Supercar race a while back and it was so boring, nobody took any real chances to pass because no one wanted to scratch the $50,000 paint job
I would rather see real racing in less expensive cars where the pilots are allowed to compete any day of the week.

I doubt liveries are the only thing preventing cars just appearing in all classes. There's probably balance of performance issues to deal with, and then livery and likeness licensing hurdles too?

dissapointing from r3e since they release brands gp but not offer a proper discount if you have part of that content then release the mercedes gt4 and not matter you own the pack, you have to pay even more for just 1 car with all liveries, that didnt happen when they release the audi, wich i only pay cents to get the car with all liveries.

so after support them by buying the premium pack to get a sustantial discount in further content they removed, anyway i am faster in rf2, almost alien times :cool:

Everybody seems to be crying about how did DTM move to GT3. It was a SURVIVAL choice. With Mercedes and Porshe pulling out and Audi going to leave the series as well at the end of 2020. I can't believe anyone would want to watch BMW race themselves the whole season (that's a disgrace to the series).
So it was adapt or perish.
Yes, it's not great but look at the silver lining. The series has survived and the show goes on

DGT3M should be the correct spelling of the series nowadays. Sorry I cannot get used to it that this legendary touring car series now runs with GT3 cars.

I don't know when you started watching or following motorsport but from my point of view i can say that the late 80s and 90s DTM cars were basically back-then GT3s, they were not the kind of prototype built style of cars the DTM ran for the last 10 or whatever years.
Like the GT3s from nowadays the 80s and 90s DTM cars were basically the street version of these cars but completely stripped out and had aero packages.
So i feel like the GT3s give me at least much more of a connection to these cars as they resemble much closer their street-counterpart which i personally like. I found that the DTM cars you seem to have liked became too exotic, again, for my taste. I just say that the GT3s are closer to the roots of this series that was in the 80s and 90s

I agree, DTM in the 80-90s was fantastic but were all part using saloon metal shells, to a greater, or as time went on to a lesser extent, but as the modification led to a nearly all carbon tub and body panels with F1 budgets, the death nell for the DTM class was all but a given.

Manufacturers come and go in nearly all classes of racing, and any series should not just live for manufacturers alone….

Formula E is the latest class to both enjoy manufacturer support, and then look vulnerable should they start losing manufacturers as participants wholesale as they switch out to other formulas (such as formula 1, or Dakar or prototype/ HyperCar).

It’s part of the ongoing cycle of racing teams… look at Le Mans in the past, how many times has it become a manufacturer led, throw money at it to win, at whatever financial cost… to then be only privateer teams keeping the thing going when the big money has all cleared off.

They need to get back to a race series with 4 door saloons with a boot that you can stick you golf clubs in & limit down force.

The ACO used to have such a rule, the trunk must hold a suitcase. Trouble was, they didn't define the freakin' suitcase. So Corvette built a tiny little rectangle that would hold a small business attache case. The rest of that supposed BOOT/TRUNK area was for race car internals. I could see a DTM team bringing a car with a child's p;astic toy golf club set and stating they had followed the rules.
The trouble with DTM is the same as GTE, they let costs get so out of hand.(same for the old Super Touring cars) I was not a fan of the GT3 SRO spec when it first appeared, but Ratel clearly saw the need for cost containment while the rest of us just wanted bigger and badder.

Super GT uses basically the same set of regulations and there's no financial issues. It's just your typical capricious German manufacturers committing to costly racing programmes just to pull out and leave mess for others to clean up. Audi reportedly just halted their LMDh programme in the same manner.
