Rennsport's Open Beta is... Confusing.

Hands-on with Rennsport's Open Beta, Version 1.9 update, including the Nürburgring 24h Layout (inc. Nordschleife) and VR.

We test the free version, released today (10th July 2024), to anyone with a PC and an Epic Games Store account.

While we think another sim platform is on paper a win for the racing community, we still have reservations about Rennsport's direction and glacial progress. We'll be keeping an eye on its progress over the coming months. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Let us know what you think of the Open Beta experience down below! 👇

feels like this has been in development forever

Ac evo just foaming at the mouth in the background, just waiting to f everyone up

Oh, Rennsport is definitely a shining example of a sustainable business model! Competing without sharing any valuable information and operating in the shadows is such a commendable strategy. It’s truly impressive how even the developers have no clue what they want to achieve. Bravo! 👏 The Ponzi scheme of racing games…

[tommywang]

The biggest problem I have with Rennsport is that if offered nothing new. Basically every car and track in this game has been featured and been done better in other games. You can drive GT3 and GT4 in Assetto Corsa Competizione, TCR in rFactor 2 and race room, and Le Mans prototype in Le Mans Ultimate and Automobilista 2, no need to mention Assetto Corsa which by installing couple of mods, can experience all these cars and tracks at once. It brings nothing new to the table, just an another racing games with all the same features and all the same contents. So I genuinely can’t understand who will choose this game above everything else I mentioned before. After playing the open beta, I already lost all the interest to this game.

So basically it is very mediocre in everyway

[effinjamieTT]

Biggest problem with this, 99% of the time there's nothing to do except hot lapping. For some reason, when i do occasionally see a scheduled race that has a few people in it, I can't join/enter the race.

[Darthsleek]

Thanks for getting bac on the channel. I hope the fanbase grows again

[drvkc]

Is it just me, or is the unique car code for the Porsche just them trying to make an NFT?

[chrisnorrell]

I don't gel with the physics. Just feels weird. Have had a beta key for about a year and only touched it twice and can't get to grips with the rotation of the cars

[axelode]

The ffb feels very disconnected on my T300 compared to ACC. It's like the cars have no weight in slow corners and you can't feel when they understeer.

[richstuart]

I'm interested in trying this although the business model does seem a bit iffy and Unreal Engine hasn't exactly covered itself in glory when it comes to ACC. At least Assetto Corsa Evo will use Kunos' own engine.

[gmarch]

They may be getting past the point of suspense and getting into the stage of mockery. When they finally draw the curtains to do the grand reveal all they will hear from the stands is "finally".

[TheFriedAim]

Thank you for this I was looking for a good rundown of this because I never heard of it before

[chuckwagon]

If you look at the Praga crash examples, in the 1st the nose cone p[ops off before the car hits the wall and in the 3rd crash the nose cone seems to disappear just as the car reaches the 'E' (way before it hits the tyres). Is this a glitch in the collision algorithm? Could you damage your car without hitting anyone/anything?

[harrycullen]

What's the sound like on the Praga? I remember it sounding a bit cordless drill like when Jimmy Broadbent tried it a while back

[newmemer]

I don't have a wheel setup so i tried to use my ps5 controller but apparently theres no support for it despite the buttons registering, showing in settings but not possible to assign them in the gamepad section.

[torquelounge]

I agree with you on the cars. The electric Porsche feels like it's on a could driving on sand. It's completely wrong. I think this could be good but I can't see myself spending money on an Epic games racer when ACC Evo is coming

[SlightlyMisunderstood]

Far from a finished product, however it has a lot of the fundamentals in a good place. I really like how it drives and performance seems miles better than unreal engine 4/ ACC. Agree about the slow progress though. At least more people can play the beta now.

[Plan_B]

the best is the Triple screen support ^^
