Formula RaceRoom US (IndyCar) to Join RaceRoom Next Week

[Paul Jeffrey]

Sector3 Studios confirm Formula RaceRoom US to release next week for RaceRoom Racing Experience.

Announced during one of the Sector 3 Developer Livestreams a few months ago, Sector3 Studios have recently confirmed the American IndyCar themed Formula RaceRoom US is due to be deployed as paid DLC for their RaceRoom Racing Experience simulation as early as next week - adding another open wheel racing machine to the expanding open cockpit career ladder within the game.

The Formula RaceRoom US is the top tier American formula car to be added to the simulation, replicating a modern Dallara IndyCar style and looking to become the fastest vehicle currently available within the game. Due to have more power and more downforce that the current GP2 style Formula RaceRoom 2 car, the FRR US will surely be an impressive driving experience as all that downforce gives drivers the confidence to push the car to it's limits around the many detailed tracks within RaceRoom.

No official release date has been confirmed by the studio, however the Formula RaceRoom US is expected to be made available to purchase within the next week.

Technical Specs:

• 2.2 liter V6, Turbo charged
• 675hp @ 12000 rpm + 60hp with Push to Pass.
• 408Nm @ 11500 rpm
• Redline at 12200 rpm
• 6 speed paddle shift
• 785 kg including driver
• 44/56% Weight distribution, including driver, excluding fuel.
• 70 liter fuel tank
• Maximum theoretical downforce is 3000 kg @ 322 km/h.
• Push to Pass: + 60 bhp for 20 seconds. 10 Push to Pass allowed per race.

Quite, where's the new McLaren, or more importantly, the AMG?

 

[Rodent]

Think the M6 is confirmed for next week.

Lovely cars to drive I hope. I enjoy them in RF2 and they are not bad in Pcars but in RRE they should be sublime. I prefer these over F1 type cars. I do hope they sound great too.

 

[John Addison]

Hopefully we can now get more open wheel events

 

[SOLO59]

These brands new open wheelers around Laguna Secs jeeeeeze!!!! Jeeeeeze!!!!!!!

 

[Lars Hansen]

Combo specially requested by @Lars Hansen

Sure, because as we all know, I adore the combination of open-wheelers and a multitude of walls.
Not.

Any North American or Australian (or late night Europeans ) club racers out there, if I could please direct your attention towards the R3E Racing Club thread...

IndyCar @ Indianapolis - Yes, it's happening!

 

[Brandon Wright]

I do hope they sound great too.

Well, they're fairly mediocre sounding in real life so don't get your hopes too high. They're not bad sounding but they suffer the same problem the current F1 cars do with the turbo cannibalizing a lot of the sound so they're not all that loud, I was able to sit in the grandstands last year during practice at Indy without ear protection (needed it during the races though).

@Kenny Paton
Indianapolis, Sonoma, Mid Ohio, Laguna Seca, Zolder, Brands Hatch Indy have been raced in real life fyi

[TobiasR]

...and Euro Speedway Lausitz

Yeah, but that was the oval, which we sadly don't have in R3E. Any hope @Georg Ortner ?

 

[Joerg Baermann]

Definitely a must have

 

[Vapir]

Macau confirmed!

I don't know if you also have Automobilista, but I think I read somewhere that they're going to be dong an Aussie-style V8.

In the meantime there are several skin packs and mods for Aussie V8s in Automobilista e.g. https://www.facebook.com/RNRs-VASC-Skins-for-Automobilista-103807966687439/
