RaceRoom Racing Experience | Motoland Aragón Now Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

Sector3 Studios have released a new track to their RaceRoom Racing Experience simulation - today adding the Spanish Motorland Aragón track as DLC.

The new circuit is available now for around £4.49 and comes in five unique configurations - Grand Prix, Motocycle GP, National, Motocycle National, and Fast Circuit.

About the Circuit:

The Ciudad del Motor de Aragón, also known as Motorland Aragón, is a 5.345 km long race track located in Alcañiz, Spain. Designed by Hermann Tilke in collaboration with Spanish former Formula 1 driver Pedro de la Rosa, the circuit has hosted many MotoGP as well as various Formula car races and joined the FIA WTCR calendar in 2020.

RaceRoom Racing Experience is available now exclusively for PC.

If you need some advice on certain aspects of the sim, or have some knowledge to share, get yourself over to the RaceRoom Racing Experience sub forum here at RaceDepartment and start a new post today!

Shown a few absolutely unspectacular pictures of a mostly unknown boring track and everybody shouts: Great, awesome, brilliant.

Each to their own mate. Just because you may not have heard of it doesn't meant we haven't, and just because you find it boring doesn't mean we do. Live and let live.

Like Rodger said above, one of R3E's strengths (for me) is the fact it does bring somewhat unknown tracks to sim racing. Some of my favourite tracks to race on right now are ones I only discovered in this sim, having never heard of or raced on them before.

Serious question, how many have heard of that track before? For real.

EDIT: Googling shows that it's used primarily for motor bikes, no wonder many not in biking haven't heard of it.

Nice track.

I'd also be willing to pay £4.49 to have dx11 implemented and track rubbering
If AMS and iRacing can add both features to those ancient engines I have faith Sector3 can do it too.

ams has dx11? first time hearing about this

it was on original wtcr 2020 schedule so folks expected it thanks to wtcr in the game, not to mention, it was teased several times

 

[Mac117]

It's been part of the MotoGP calendar for 10 years now... Previously was also part of the Renault World Series for several years and this year part of WTCC. Not precisely an "out of the blue" track.

 

[HoiHman]

Raceroom tracks are always an instant buy, so this one is added to the collection.

But.... we need DX11 support for better performance in VR. (even if it's a paid add-on)

You are correct AMS is dx9.
It can still be done none the less and the sector3 developers actually made a statement several yrs ago that they were looking to implement dx11 before moving to the new engine after the vapour ware of GTR3 was released.

Sector3 Evaluating RaceRoom Engine Upgrade

In an informative post Sector3 Studios Producer J-F Chardon confirms the developers are "evaluating" the possibility of upgrading R3E to a more recent DirectX engine. With an eventual move to the impressive Unreal 4 set for some time in the future of RaceRoom Racing Experience, it has come to...

Personally I'd like to hear what there plans are in that regard.

Based on ACC if the planned engine choice remains as Unreal I’ll be happy to stick with DX9 (which outperforms ACC and rFactor2 in VR). Both ACC and rFactor2 have abysmal shadow pop in which is really distracting plus ACC’s constantly changing vegetation LOD

Totally agree.
Something I've thought about since this title released, that I would have loved to seen instead of the route they went....was do what Reiza did with the rf1 engine and remaster the Race07 engine, add dx11, current audio and some updated shaders.

Aragon is a great circuit, it should host the Spanish Grand Prix in 2022. A much better alternative than Jerez or Barcelona which have 0 overtaking spots. But no, I'm not paying $6 for tracks. That's the sole reason why I hate RaceRoom, its mobile game-like microtransaction model.

You know what this means??

Me, because it's a MotoGP track and was slated for WTCR 2020, which is probably what brought it to R3E. Didn't know it was used by the Renaults too, but I've never really watched that series.

As an aside, everyone please stay on topic. We're not going back to making every release thread about DX[Whatever], ok? Start a new thread if you want to express your desires to S3 and discuss it's viability, but this is not the place.

 

[Eduardo Drew Ibarra]

Great addition, will be a blast to drive with the VW ID.R in the new competition... I hope we can enjoy Assen, Igora Drive, Adria and Inje Speedium in the coming months (DTM & WTCR).

Me, because it's a MotoGP track

+1, I remember it from Moto Gp 3, 2006, 2007 and 2009.

Ouch!!!

we'll surely have them before Brands Hatch full layout

I once mentioned this on the board and someone from Sector 3 replied it was a matter of licensing that prevented the release of the full BH layout. Hopefully, it will be sorted out one day.

 

[michelforest]

Will buy it, as Raceroom tracks are always very well made. Hopefully, this will also give some money to Sector 3 to finance the jump to DX11.

I must say that since I bought a Fanatec wheel/pedals combo, I'm having a hard time playing R3E. When I just barely touch the brake pedal, my wheels just lock up immediately. For some reason, the pedals are incredibly sensitive with a Fanatec system.

I discovered this track when it was inaugurated in 2009.
The news was mentioned in several motorsport websites and I remember some manufacturers/teams published testing pictures and videos (Renault among others).

The track activity has been quite discrete since then, except a few race events reports and car testing in the news, it was mostly busy with motorcycle events.
It's very appreciated by the drivers and teams though, especially for its testing capacities (endurance, gt etc).

I'm sure you'll enjoy Aragon thanks to the spectacular layouts and landscapes.
Racing there is like driving in a car advertisement scenery

I had, but only seen a couple of events there - seems quite dull for real racing, but sims have taught me that circuits with dull racing/scenery in real life can be a lot of fun to drive (looking at you, Hungaroring and Paul Ricard) .


Nice preview of the full circuit here:

Does anyone know how many pitboxes it has please?
