The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a highlight for racing fans each year: Countless legendary racing cars from past and present times can be seen in action racing up the hillclimb course. RENNSPORT Closed Beta users will be able to experience the track for themselves soon - and even better, the sim is going to introduce the Porsche 963 LMDh car!

Just like in 2022, RENNSPORT had a presence at the FoS, where it first showed its recreation of Goodwood's famous hillclimb course, alongside the Porsche Mission R. The former is going to be available in the Closed Beta in 2023, and it is going to be accompanied by a brand-new car that also introduces a new vehicle class to RENNSPORT.

Sim Racing Debut for the 963​

Having made its racing debut in 2023, the Porsche 963 marks the return of the legendary manufacturer to top-flight sports car racing after pulling out in 2017. Thus far, it is not available officially in any simulation, making RENNSPORT the first sim to feature the 671 hp hybrid prototype. Just like Goodwood, it is set to make its beta debut in 2023.


Speaking of the Closed Beta: RENNSPORT also announced that they had sent out close to 10.000 keys for the program ahead of the Goodwood weekend, so user involvement is steadily ramping up. Thus far, the beta content includes four tracks in the Nürburgring, Monza, Spa and Hockenheim as well as four GT3 cars in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) and the BMW M4 GT3.

Sound needs to be good for me. FH5 manage to make clear, powerful engine sounds with powerful downshift rev sounds etc. Physics and FFB i expect to be good in a sim. Going to follow this title though and see how it develops.
