KTM X-Bow RR Released for RaceRoom Racing Experience

[Paul Jeffrey]

Sector3 Studios have released the unique KTM X-Bow RR for their RaceRoom Racing Experience title, bringing the interesting open cockpit race car to sim racing for the first time. Available via the in game store for 349vRP, the KTM X-Bow RR comes with thirty nicely crafted liveries to bring the single make GT4 specification series to the RaceRoom title.

Already added to the game as part of the recent November update, today Sector3 have opened up the car for players of the simulation to purchase and use in game. The KTM X-Bow RR is a 360hp real wheel drive racing car that usually runs under the GT4 rule set specification. Although reasonably modest in its power output, the ultra lightweight chassis ensures a lively experience for the driver whilst still allowing those less experience in high powered GT machines to maintain control of the vehicle in tight racing conditions. Ideal for club racing and close online battles, the X-Bow RR will most likely become a popular online choice in the coming weeks.

how come in the store it has each livery at 29rvp but if you select one and go to checkout the full pack is there at 349 rvp?? can i not just buy 2 or 3 liveries??

you need to buy car first (349rVP which includes one livery), than you can buy more liveries for it (29 rVP) .. strangely there is no KTM RR Cup pack yet, perhaps later ..

The RaceRoom account on the official forums said there are no single car packs "at this point", whether that means they're going to be restored in the future or are just gone now I don't know. I suppose after most of the major issues with the game itself got sorted out they needed to figure out a new stupid business decision to screw over the game.

Depends when it was made. I didn't experience 503 and other errors since last weekend.

It was a joke............................oh nevermind. I didn't really expect Sector 3 to show a video with some 503 errors. But nevermind, some got it.

 

[ouvert]

Andy, don`t joke on internet!

So I've just gone to buy the premium pack but that addition of this ONE car has increased the discounted cost for me by 1000vRP wtf?!

That's more than most of the packs with multiple cars, why are current content owners (the ones keeping this game alive) getting ****ed like this?

If it wasn't for the fact I have the vRP in my account already I wouldn't even bother getting any more content this has pissed me off so much but I'm certainly not paying £7 extra for the premium pack now!

 

[Boby Kim]

same with my 30th beer at an evening out wasted money on first 29

Well...with beer i understand: after 29 i would be off this world not knowing the number and price anymore. If R3E players have the same "exprerience" ...hold on...its a trick

 

[natedogg1867]

I don't appreciate being nickel and dimed in my videogames, so yeah it adds a bad taste to the Sim

For all the whinging you do.... you do realize, like every game in existence with dlc.... you dont have to buy it.

It's an option for people who do like the car, and can appreciate how it's recreated.

If it doesnt tickle your fancy, then dont buy it. Quite simple. All the incessant whining is only becoming a nuisance.

Of course. I was also joking, for the first part.

I'm not buying it, and I'm voicing my reasons as to why. And hah, I guess showering praise over the new DTM pack and AI counts as incessant whining now. You really need to stop with this whole "either with us or against us" attitude.

Thanks...finally a report on how it drives, rather than how much costs....Black Friday tomorrow.

 

[Furnace Inferno]

Well thankfully the sale has brought it back down to the same price so I didn't need to buy another 1000vRP and I'll be able to give the KTM a crack now too .

Had a quick go with the KTM but something seems wrong with the shifting with an H-shifter. It takes a second or so to engage the gear like I've missed the shift I thought there was something wrong with my setup at first, any ideas if it's a known bug?

Yes, there is a problem with the clutch, it's apparently being looked into.
