R3E: Nissan Skyline 2000RS Group 5 unveiled

[Alex Franchini]

Sector3 Studios unveiled the next car to join the Group 5 category in their RaceRoom Racing Experience free-to-play simulator.

The announcement shows the 1982 Nissan Skyline 2000RS in its Super Silhouette glory, as you can see in the attached screenshots.

It seems like the car earned the nickname of "Iron Mask" for its imposing, menacing aesthetics.
The Nissan Skyline 2000RS raced in the 1982 "Fuji Super Silhouette Series", a Japanese racing series held between 1979 and 1984.

The Group 5 update will revamp the physics for this car class and obviously bring the new models (Chevrolet Monza Dekon, Fabcar 935 and the Nissan Skyline) sometime soon, though there's no projected release date.

Are you excited for more Group 5 action? What vintage car would you like to see in R3E? Sound off in the comments.

I think there're two more G5 cars to be unveiled. They had two cars and added three so far. Indeed a great selection of cars!

Hurry up S3S!

Will they be adding the Toyota Supra and The Lancia Beta? I hope so.

G5 online races are going to be epic.

Yes great stuff so far, iam very, very impressed!

Would be perfect if the Ford Escort turbo group 5, the Lancia Beta and the BMW CSL turbo gr 5 will although find the way in this class and this amazing game too.

That would be amazing and a dream of myselve.

Wow, impressive car! Would be a great addition to the game (along with the Fabcar and Nissan)

I would love it if S3S adds the fearsome Lotus Europa Gr5 and the Ferrari 512 BB LM to the game.
