Sector3 Studios have today deployed the brand-new 2020 WTCR pack for RaceRoom Racing Experience.

New content is always a nice time for fans of any simulation, and when the content is as good as we know Sector3 Studios are capable of producing with the WTCR licence, then those nice times become something rather outstanding.

Each of us will of course have our own favourite category of car in each of our simulations of choice, but for me at least, Sector3 Studios have really nailed the feeling of driving a WTCR car in RaceRoom Racing Experience - and seeing as the new DLC pack contains another new model in the form of the Renault Megane, as well as updates to the model for both the Alfa Romeo and the Cupra this is indeed a rather exciting new content release.

Containing all the cars, teams and drivers of the 2020 WTCR season, including a wide variety of guest and one-off entrants that year, the new WTCR 2020 DLC pack is available to purchase now from the RaceRoom Store, for around £16.48.

The new pack contains 7 manufacturers (Audi, Honda, Renault, Cupra, Lynk & Co, Hyundai and Alfa Romeo). plus 33 liveries and drivers that competed within the 2020 FIA WTCR championship season.

All this raceroom looks like big old poop... totally outdated, switch iR and you will see didference, and it runs fluently maxes out 8xmsaa, while Raceroom drops frames now to 50-60fps, just i liked tcr cars and dtm nothing more...

You mean iracing that runs on a game engine thats 17+ years old that was originally used for Nascar Racing 2003? okay then. Might wanna remove them rose tinted specs
 
Having a blast with RRE again! These WCTR cars are just amazing - but the speed of some guys out there is out of this world, just finished a months iracing subscription to focus on this for a while, simracers, what a great time we are in. Maybe GTR3 comes along and keeps this going for us!
 
Love the new WTCC cars but I feel they need to revisit the gravitational physics on a lot of the cars, far too many are just rolling over going over curbs, driving on two wheels or just flipping with the slightest tap.
The steam community page has some pretty good videos......my favorite is the guy who touches a curb and goes up on two wheels, while another car passes under him lol
