Interlagos and Mysterious New Car Coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience

RaceRoom Racing Experience will soon be getting new content, including the Interlagos circuit and a new open wheel car.

RaceRoom has used the 28th anniversary of the passing of Brazilian racing superstar Ayrton Senna to announce that the most famous Brazilian racing circuit in the world is soon to join their title.

Interlagos​

Autódromo José Carlos Pace, better known simply as Interlagos, is the hilly and windy circuit home to the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix. No date has yet been confirmed for this release, though RaceRoom is typically quick between their announcement and release dates.

Mysterious New Car​

What may steal the headlines for RaceRoom from this announcement, however, is the blurry shape below the Senna tribute. Clearly an open wheel race car, this could very well be a modern Formula 1 inspired car.

There was no direct mention of what this car is in the announcement text, but a halo can be made out, and perhaps a rounded rear wing similar to the 2022 cars. RaceRoom offers a wide range of cars, but modern F1-inspired cars have been notably absent, so fans of the title will be hoping this new car does turn out to be a recent version of a Formula 1 car.

This news comes shortly after the release of the 2021 WTCR cars for RaceRoom, and shows that the development team is still hard at work behind the scenes of the racing title that will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its release next February.

iRacing looks also terrible in 2D, it simply outdated. I also got ACC running at 90fps, your settings are quite similair to what you describe. I got a 12th gen i7(12700) 3080TI, but compared to AMS2/AC/RF2 ACC simply looks and runs terrible in VR. I did all the tweaking. It doesn't even come a little bit close to AMS2(which I got running with foveated rendering, it looks awesome)2. UE is simply an terrible engine for VR, the consensus is also like I describe, that the VR experience for you is acceptable in ACC is good for you, but that is not what most people think about it. I think it's terrible and that it will maybe be OK with a 4090(to get closer to AMS2 level).

Edit: I just see now that you have mirrors turned off, that's exactly my point, you reduce the graphics THAT far. For me that's not acceptable at all, I even run AMS2 with extra high resolution mirrors settings(enhanced mirrors, they looks awesome and move together with your head in VR and can be tweaked per car manually), how can you simrace without mirrors? And that with an 3080! That proves exactly my point, ACC is terrible in VR.
How can I race without mirrors? Being fast enough + looking to the sides in vr + radar. Even in games where I enable mirrors (AC/AMS2) I don't look much at them, I only care what's happening in front of me and to the sides, that way I don't have time for distractions. I want to know what you mean by ACC looking "tererible". As it's often looking better for me than AC with mods, especially texture wise. Only gripe I have with ACC looks in vr are rough edges, but I became accustomed to them. Of Course AMS2 looks better, but on textures and lightning parts they are not that far apart from themselves.
