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.

I've not tried it myself yet, but sounds like you think it's worth checking out?

Definitely. Especially if you have the just released Adelaide track. Perfect fit (obviously).

Im mainly excited in how the new F-US will be compared to todays F-US in Raceroom.
Because this car have absolutely been my favorite.
One of the reasons Im excited/curious is because the introduction of the new F1 Ultimate Gen 2 in AMS2 is actually slower than the "old" F1 Ultimate Gen 1.

The FR-US is the generic IndyCar. I think you're talking about the FR-X which is the generic F1 car.

No as I say Im talking about todays "old" F-US in Raceroom vs the new.
But I can now see that because I forgot to name it exactly FR-US then it is confused with a complete other car series - the FR-X17.

This is the "old" FR-US:

I have always liked the FR-US, and its better now with recent updates. Thanks to the free sessions right now, I had a lot of fun running on the Indy oval once I dialed in the AI level. Give it a try. The newer infield course was also good. Waiting for Sale time......

Where did they announce a new FR-US? They only hinted at a new FR-X.

Sorry I feel very stupid now.
I have confused a new indy car from either rF2 or AMS2 to from Raceroom.
