Is RaceRoom Still worth it in 2023?

Raceroom, although mostly praised, has been around for quite some time, and doesn't have a whole lot of mods that tend to keep other older titles alive. This may make people question weather or not RaceRoom Racing Experience is still worth it. This video is my analysis of the situation.

R3E huge pro: Netcode that allows really close racing & some door rubbing, combined with class like WTCR it makes just perfect racing experience :)

RaceRoom is awesome. I have no idea what it feels like to drive a race car, but the physics feel real enough to me. You are really missing out if you dismiss the sim because it's older or doesn't have mods.

I wonder why Europe have so many users, in comparison with America. We need more ppl in this side of the puddle... great sim

RaceRoom may look somewhat dated, but it's still an awesome sim. I don't play it as much as I used to unfortunately, but everytime I'm in RaceRoom, I absolutely love it. Great selection of cars and tracks, great FFB, and the physics feel realistic as well.
I do wish they'd add driver swaps for online racing though - I feel like it would be an amazing endurance sim, especially for something like NLS.
Awesome video, you gained a new subscriber!

the Graphics may be a bit out dated. but you'll soon forget about that when you're in a heated close race. the racing itself feels much closer than ac for me.

Another Pro: The single player custom championship builder... If online racing isn't your thing, or you are new to sim racing, but put off by the hardcore racers bashing you over your mistakes, the single player builder gives you the ability to develop your skills with an adaptive AI that gets better as your skills develop, and you get to choose the mix of tracks and cars (i.e. multi class events are no issue here). This is where that HUGE selection of tracks and cars really comes into play.

I absolutely and resolutely love Raceroom. Out of all the sim racing games I find this the best and most consistant Sim Racing game out there. Yes the graphics maybe dated, but the content is as current as most sims and feels more organic in terms of its users.

I find that the other sims allow the more hardcore sim racer to peacock about with all the modding on offer. However Raceroom is simply a no BS sim, you do your "peacocking" on the track and not drawing attention to yourself with a pretty livery. Speaking of cars & liveries, Raceroom offers such a diverse and nostalgic yet origality on sim racing and it's netcode is (from what I've heard from other sim racers) the best out there.

I've never had an issue, glitch or system error on Raceroom. The only error I've ever had to endure is my own skill issue, through either misjudgement while racing or simply not being quick enough.

It's a shame that it's maybe not as popular as some other sims, but it's certainly value for money compared to thers.

Loving your content, keep up the excellent work.

I have just recently got back to raceroom, and jeezz the ffb, the physics, the braking in this sim feels just right

[subarusumeragi]

Great vid. This is my favorite sim at the moment. It feels better than anything else on my G27.
Regarding the classic content, what is there is stellar. The Group 5s, Group Cs, BMW M1 and DTM 1992s are some of the most fun I've ever had on a sim.

[SimRacing]

Really great video. Thanks for this. I agree with most of your points; it’s an excellent sim overall. Unfortunately my computer can’t run it. It freezes after the first few laps, even in solo practice. Bummer, because I really want to get back into it. Anyway, thanks for the great vid!

The sparks and the dirt clouds are so well made in Raceroom that I dare to say they are the most realistically looking in all the racing genre. There is something very special about them especially the sparks. Raceroom is a beast of a sim and maybe is a good thing that it stays out of sign for the mainstream racing crowd

[stefanherbst]

I agree with your views, I love RRE. Great video

[blenga]

The biggest 👍👍 for me is its Competitions tab with bi-weekly combinations of cars and tracks for us to freely time attack and go up on a leaderboard ! Especially the FIXED SETUP time attack competitions, where I can just sit down and drive the cars as they are and work on MY SKILLS to try to get high in the ranking.

This keeps me really addicted, I always come back for more !

[MatthewRunyon-ng]

The driving experience and sense of grip is really unreal compared to other sims. I personally think a lot of other sims have a way of being unrealistically unforgiving and I think RaceRoom strikes a great balance where you can really feel out the grip of the cars and drive on the limit. The AI also is quite nice for me as someone who races offline a good bit. Sadly the sim is absolutely getting left behind and they need to update the core engine before it's too late.

[BobCorey]

Very nice indeed...and the fact you can start racing for free on this one...SO GOOD <3
The best races I had so far are in RaceRoom...and most players play with respect!

[JGWGamingUK]

very nice video. great to find your channel. love Raceroom.

[asmrrainbow]

Ive been playing Raceroom for so many years and defintely my No.1 fav sim. I tried AC, AMS and others. But I always come back to RRE.

[kevin_m]

Subbed Oliver! Great video here and has me excited to try more content in the game. I've been branching outside of my comfort zone with different cars and tracks I have not tried yet. For a 2013 game RaceRoom is still a lot of fun!

[BenTrem]

Thanks. It's been so long since I last drove I had all the sims muddled!
AC was pretty clear, but I really bogged down with comparing iRacing and RaceRoom.
_Glad I found nice!_

Nice Video, im a a couple of months into sim racing, casually playing on ACC and AC at the moment. I played this briefly, might invest in the pro pack as you recommended though as i have zero content on there 👍 GL with your channel too 🍻
