A really important point that no one else offers to my knowledge is the free test before you have to purchase the cars. It applies to all cars on a few tracks. It's not a race but you'll get a sense of the handling characteristics, the audio and the look in game.

Over 1, 200 hours in RRE and still going strong! No matter which other sim i try, i always come back to it, its got some of the best feeling driving out of any sim out there. The car contact and net code are on point which makes the TCR's excellent to race with

Hi. I am an "off-line" mediocre simdriver. I own and love all the sims but RaceRoom has still something special. Always happy to see videos about it

Raceroom is my most played sim. I had over 500 hours in it and owned almost all contents. In this ongoing summer sale I got myself the WTCR 2022 pack and been enjoying it. The cars sound amazing, especially the gun shot like exhaust bangs. Game might look dated against the latest and greatest but it's easy to run. My favorite way to play is to do hotlaps with a handful of AIs on track while listening to youtube podcasts or videos on the background (not an active multiplayer).

a few corrections
- racing on ranked servers doesn't need Discord, that's only for Ranked championships and events. it also doesn't put you directly to the game, you still need to find the server and connect to it manually. also this Discord integration is a temporary solution, it will be replaced by a proper in-game sign up system some time later
- there is time progression, but it's limited to daytimes only, anything from dawn to sunset. no night driving unfortunately. the devs know about this issue and are looking at how they can improve it (but it's a small team, like 12-15 people total for everything, so don't expect fast changes)

Raceroom does little things most sims dont do ( smoke coming from exhaust when A.I is manual shifting, check engine light coming on when pushing car to the limit, great telemetry support for curbs and antilock breaks when using buttkicker...). Im fine with the graphics. They do need day/night cycle and weather....other than that, i love it

[chrismackenzie]

Day One Raceroomer from New Zealand here and part of a "down-under" community that pretty much races Raceroom exclusively....R3E is surely underrated - sure the graphics look a tad dated, but it plays very well, actually SUPER well...the net code is probably one of the best out there which allows drivers to race close n clean....(not always I will admit)

I've often said that one letdown for us down-under racers is the lack of Aussie / Kiwi tracks. If KW Studios grabbed some of our local tracks more southern hemisphere players may get involved?

Like most I've tried plenty of other "must have" sims - but I always find myself coming back to Raceroom for my simracing fix....

Be cool to see more coverage of raceroom on this channel....

I've spent hundreds of hours playing AC, ACC, LMU, and AMS2 as my go-to sims over the past few years. However, after this recent update, I’ve completely fallen in love with RaceRoom! I ended up purchasing the full Premium Pack with all the content, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Great job, guys! I’m especially fond of the vintage cars and old classics, and RaceRoom delivers a similar experience to AMS2, but with what I feel is more natural physics. So, to anyone eagerly awaiting the AMS2 1.6 physics update, I suggest trying out RaceRoom—it’s like AMS2 with a less forgiving slip angle and tons of interesting vintage cars to enjoy. Also, major kudos to the audio engineers at RaceRoom—the immersive sound effects and engine sounds really elevate the experience. In my opinion, RaceRoom is the best in the industry when it comes to audio immersion.

For being such a small dev team, they are doing a great work and race room have one of the best communities I have ever seen

[Fantic]

I have hundreds of hours into ACC and AMS2 but Raceroom still brings me back in. I think the physics are about par with ACC. You can play them back-to-back in the same car on the same track and feel right on the pace. It's only about £70 to buy everything which compaired to iRacing is cheap as chips. Hill climb monsters are amazing, DTM 21 (no TC) is amazing, WTCC is amazing!

[geoffreymarkII]

IMHO. The best sounding, the best FFB and, arguably the best tyre model.

I understand your thoughts on the graphics but I honestly prefer the graphics on this Sim above all others. The track detail is superb.

Yeah, I like RR a LOT.

[thepurplesector]

Most versatile content, best ffb and netcode
The only bad thing is the new track limits, which is not consistent with other games/real world

[adamgd]

What I truly love about RRE is that they allow us to test out the cars before we even buy, in any tracks (which is also allowed to try from what I remember), giving me plenty of moments to try out how does the car handle in any disciplines ever). Most of my time either for ACC, PC2, AMS2... but I always coming back to RRE every once in a while

[Rosaslav]

Out that of all sims, I tried, RaceRoom is the most friendly title controls setup wise. I use gamepad gyro for steering and that requires combination of gamepad and wheel type of settings and RaceRoom was the ONLY sim where I didn't have any issues setting up everything as needed and without compromises I had to make in other titles. It also greatly helped, that base game is free, so I had all the freedom to try out everything I needed to see if it suits my needs.

[Noastrofan]

I have to agree with everything you said in your video 👍 I use Raceroom only for online racing mostly in private servers / leagues also in vr which is great. All content is free to use up until the 7th of July. So a great time to try.
Raceroom needs more love from the YouTubers 😊

[Bjern]

I love Raceroom. Bought the full package about 2 years ago, just to show my gratitude and hope it'll evolve even more. Always coming back to see that not many people are playing it. Which is a bummer! Great physics and VR works pretty good.

[abuelb]

Raceroom has a built-in trueforce. Engine rumble is very pronounced on my Cammus 15Nm wheel. Its also one of the best physics of all sims

[BjornKuma]

It's easily one of the best sims out there as far as the actual driving is concerned. It just feels good and intuitive overall to hop in a car and hit the track. I just wish they had more street cars to drive.

[Fred_Bassett]

I went back to RRE after watching the vid and I have to say, I'm back enjoying it. Otterhud is fantastic and it looks like they have got rid of the generic horrible dash as each car I've raced with the last couple of days has had a decent dash. Great physics and sounds and RRE is still good. I love how easy it is to set up a race against the AI inc multi class.

[dhparadox]

I've enjoyed Raceroom since the beginning, and even before when they were Simbin. Going back to GTR2. I recently bought the MX5 cup and have had a blast in those cars.
