Three new cars are just around the corner for RaceRoom: As announced in May, the Porsche Pack will see the 944 Turbo, the 911 GT3 Cup (992) and the 911 GT3 R (992) added to the sim. Racers will not have to wait much longer for the trio of Porsches, as the release date has been confirmed to be July 20th.

Thus far, only July was known, an exact date for the pack had not been announced - until RaceRoom posted their detailed introduction to the Porsche Cup car on Steam: Not only does the article highlight the car itself, but also mentions July 20th as the official release date almost as a sidenote towards the end.
The seventh-generation 911 Cup car may be more advanced than its predecessors, but drivers are still going to have to make do without ABS or traction control - unlike in its bigger brother, the 911 GT3 R (992), which will be highlighted in a similar introduction post in the upcoming days. Meanwhile, the Cup car will also introduce the full 2023 Carrera Cup Deutschland to RaceRoom, adding to those of the 964 and 991 generations.

The final addition to the pack will see the current 911 GT3 R model added to the sim. Used in GT3 series all over the globe, the 992-based race car was unveiled in the summer of 2022 and has been racing since the start of 2023.

Another Porsche Cup that will be available with the launch of the Porsche Pack is that of the 1987 season using the 944: The antithesis to almost every other Porsche model, the 944 sports its engine in the front and was produced from 1981 to 1991. The turbo version coming to RaceRoom produces 246 hp from its Inline-four engine.The final addition to the pack will see the current 911 GT3 R model added to the sim.
