Following the announcement that, at last, Circuit de Pau-Ville will be making its way to RaceRoom, we can now confirm the release date – Monday 25th March 2024.

The free-to-enter sim racing platform had changed its plans last year, instead of releasing the narrow confines of the historic track it focused on an updated tyre model and the DTM 2023 DLC pack.

Perhaps best known for holding the Pau Grand Prix, the vaunted venue features an extremely tight hairpin (Lycee) plus a narrow chicane near the end of the lap.

It is also a point of difference for the free-to-enter simulation, with Pau absent from contemporary sim racing platforms. This is RaceRoom’s forte, following the likes of the previously released Charade.

Ferrari 296 GT3 Livery Pack, GTR 3​

The French track will be joined on the same day, Monday 25th, by a livery pack for the Ferrari 296 GT3.

This car was initially released last year for RaceRoom drivers, as part of the 2023-season DTM content. Consequently, however, it was only stickered with Emil Frey Racing’s design from that specific competition.

That will now change, with the option of 19 designs from diverse real-world competitions. Liveries from events such as the 24hr Series and the race-winning Frikadelli Racing Nürburgring 24 Hours entry.

Alongside the fresh designs, it means the 296 will become available within the platform’s GTR 3 class, and not tied purely to the DTM.

Pricing for the liveries is not yet confirmed, although typically they are around $0.32/£0.25 each (or equivalent vRP), with the bundle bringing the cost per unit down. The version of this car within the DTM category is priced at $5.42/£4.25, we expect something similar within GTR 3 plus any additional designs.

This is a strange game, the popular stuff, gt3 etc are really poor because there are so many other games doing it so much better, graphically at least, to compare to, like comparing an N64 game to a PS5 games.. but where it shines for me is all those wierd unknown gems you just dont get anywhere else. Like the NSU, damn so much fun to race this thing!

Knutstorp too - strange track you don't see elsewhere, and I love that, so Pau certainly follows that trend.
 
what are they using to make these screenshots? that game doesn't look that good
I guess it needs to be some good reshade filter? or just some photoshop magic?
I'm especially talking about the Ferrari screens because Pau looks bit worse here
it was the same with the previous car announcements, mostly because of much better colour balance than in actual game
