A new update for RaceRoom Racing Experience has been released today, and with it comes a number of fixes and improvements to the title alongside two new cars - the 2003 and 2005 title winning DTM AMG-Mercedes cars.
Forming part of the most recent eSport initiative from Sector3 Studios and RaceRoom, the CLK and C-Klasse DTM cars have now been made available for players to purchase within the main simulation, adding another two machines to the growing list of historic Mercedes DTM content within the sim.
On the update side, this October deployment is a precursor to a more substantial release once current live competitions have come to a close, and as such focuses more on fixes and minor tweaks to the title rather than any significant changes to the handling behaviour and physics of the current content offering, details of which can be found below.
DLC Details
2003 AMG Mercedes CLK DTM
The AMG-Mercedes CLK DTM 2003 absolutely dominated the season with 9 wins out of 10 races. "Mister DTM" Bernd Schneider managed to secure the championship ahead of Christijan Albers and his team mate Marcel Fässler, making it an all AMG-Mercedes Top 3.
Available for £3.52 HERE.
2005 AMG-Mercedes C-Klasse DTM
The AMG-Mercedes C-Klasse DTM 2005 is the successor to the AMG-Mercedes CLK DTM and led Gary Paffett to become champion of the DTM 2005 season in a nail-biting duel for the driver's crown. With a score of 5 : 3 race victories, the title went to Paffett, who switched to Formula 1 as a test driver after the season.

Game
- Player can now serve a slowdown penalty anywhere and will not be forcefully slowed down. The time illegally gained has to be given back within 60 seconds. Failing to comply will result in a drive-through penalty.
- Cars serving a slowdown penalty are no longer ghosted.
- Slowdown penalties are now displayed as part of the flag HUD element.
- Sorted the controller assignments by categories in Controls settings menu.
- Removed "Clutch Biting Point" from Advanced Controller settings, as it is no longer used.
- Adaptive AI logic now ignores laps that are clearly slower than player's known pace. Any lap slower by at least 3% compared to player's average laptime in a given race session is now ignored.
- Improved network communications in cases of extreme saturation. Should solve some timing issues spotted by players who are hosting a multiplayer race, racing themselves and also streaming in HD on the same computer.
- Some performance improvements for situations where many cars are leaving skidmarks on the track.
- Added key bindings allowing to move the cockpit camera perspective horizontally. This allows for setups with very large screens where the player isn't sitting exactly in the center of the display. This setting is remembered per car.
- VR - Improved readability of the various HUD elements
- VR - Mirror to screen option is now remembered between two game startups.
- Fixed HUD messages not dealing with UTF-8 (accentuated characters will no longer be missing).
- Chat font color is now a tiny bit darker yellow for better readability.
- Fixed a HUD overlay showing up when switching between cars in a replay.
- Fixed an exploit where players would leave the pitlane in the opposite direction and be allowed to cut corners after completing 2 laps.
- Fixed the centering of the mouse cursor when driving with the mouse as a controller.
- Fixed success ballasts not being properly transferred or applied between two championship races.
- Fixed a live timing issue during a race start on the VLN and 24H layouts.
- Fixed input meter being visible while flying around in free camera
- Fixed a failure to start the executable if installed inside a folder structure that has a \Game\ folder inside it.
