Ok, this time I'm sticking to my guns (unlike I did with the DTM 2020s!)... I won't be buying this one. I don't disagree with the principle of electric racing cars and I know it's the way everything is heading, but I don't enjoy it myself.

Pretty car though. Always been a fan of the Seat touring cars since Race 07!

The Aquila got an update? Unreal. I remember driving that car when R3E first came out. It was like the only car lol

Does it have good RRE sounds?

Haha, it's electric!

I'm sure R3E will continue it's mastery of audio in the electric era we're entering, but how "good" it is depends on if you like the whine of an electric motor.

Oldzeb · Oct 9, 2020

the only thing better on raceroom are the sounds and there they make us an electric...

no thank you.

Bought. Good car! But motorsports only producing such noises will lose fascination.

ModoX · Oct 9, 2020

I kind of like the different audio experience of electric racing, all tyres screeching and bodywork crunching, with that whine of the motor. Don't get me wrong if I had to pick one style only, it wouldn't be this, but it's cool in its own way.

Michel Forest · Oct 9, 2020

I would buy it if I could play R3E with my Fanatec gear. I've tried everything, but the brakes are too sensitive without ABS. I barely press on the pedal and the wheels lock up.

terrible car to drive I hate everything about it.......good thing we can test drive

Balazs Flossmann · Oct 9, 2020

I've tried...
I think I'm too old for these modern cars.
Don't like the classics but it's too new for me! LOL

Balazs Flossmann · Oct 9, 2020

Not HD yet, still in progress...

UMC 22 · Oct 9, 2020

I tried it too, and I have to say that I hate it. Of course it was difficult for me coming straight from combustion cars, because of the lack of gears and no proper reference for speed when approaching corners. But even once I started getting used to it, the whine got very irritating and the wind noise made me feel like I was flying or something.

Just not exciting or enjoyable for me, sorry.

boomn · Oct 9, 2020

How much of the sound on cars like this is the whine of the electric motors and how much is the regular whine of straight cut gears?

Mekonrider · Oct 9, 2020

Electric cars have no soul. I don't care how technically good they are I'd rather listen to a old Ford Pinto engine making 75hp/litre than something electric doing 0-60 in 2.5s.

LMP Basher · Oct 9, 2020

It is very hard to comprehend that eventually more and more vehicles might be running like this.
Might be personal and all but this sound.... it gives me a headache. Also the lack of shifting; where's the fun in that? Oh well... must be gettin' old, I guess
