Mantorp Park Released for RaceRoom Racing Experience

[Paul Jeffrey]

Sector3 Studios have released their second Scandinavian track for RaceRoom Racing Experience, this time bringing the beautifully created Mantorp Park to the simulation.

Joining the recently released Karlskoga and with Anderstorp Raceway still to come, Sector3 have been keen to bring back some of the glory moments from their previous STCC 2 The Game title that featured highly amongst sim racers favourite games back in the Race07 era. Just because both tracks appeared in STCC doesn't mean these new additions to RaceRoom are rehashed content from older titles, in fact all three tracks have been scratch build from the ground up and offer some of the most visually impressive track artwork produced by the studio to date. Visually stunning, brilliant to drive and something a bit different to the usual Tilkedromes of many games, Mantorp is pretty much bang on the mark for those looking to experience a challenging and thrilling racing experience.

The new track comes in two configurations, the 2.4km 'Short' circuit and the full length 3.0km 'Long' variant. The track is available to purchase now from the RaceRoom Store for £2.60.

Located in central Sweden, Mantorp Park opened the doors in 1962 and has remained a fun stop for many Scandinavian racing series since then. The track is short, twisty and intense and is known as a real rollercoaster for the drivers. Several turns are blind and demand both track knowledge and confidence to hit correct. Any mistake and a visit to the unforgiving armco is a near certainty, so don't start pushing the limits until you understand the lines.

RaceRoom Racing Experience is a racing simulation by Sector3 Studios exclusive to Steam PC. Additional content can be picked up from the RaceRoom Store.

What do you think of Mantorp Park? Love small, club-like tracks, and this isn't an exception
Would you like to see more Scandinavian tracks in R3E? Oh god yes, I want all of them

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Looks stunning in the vid.
If i was running the sim regularly i would purchase for sure
I also remember it from race 07 days. loved it
Same again yes i like the flow of these tracks.

Maybe i need a doppelganger or clone myself a few times so i can race every sim

 

[Christian Moreau]

Gave it a whirl a few hours ago, great track! Another one targeted towards the WTCCs, TTs, and the old DTMs and Touring Classics.

Some club racing events with it are just around the corner!

 

[Rodolfo]

It's worth the money, a great track

 

[hitm4k3r]

You can say what you want about this sim, but they have some very talented track artists. Respect

If I wanted to be a bit picky and give some suggestions: in the first/respectively 3rd screen it looks as if the groove went straight throught the gravel trap. Other than that, great job.

Another great track, and yes i would like to see more Scandinavian tracks.....can never have enough tracks

 

[Eistr]

hope to see Knutstorp and Falkenberg too

 

[Ingemar Petersson]

It´s so out of date
Its a ripoff from STCC2
waste of 3euros

 

[mr_belowski]

It looks and drives great, especially with the slower cars like the Silhouettes and DTM 92s. A cup of coffee is 3 euros. How can 3 euros for a track be a ripoff?

 

[Ingemar Petersson]

It's a old track

 

[Ingemar Petersson]

has nothing to do with how it feels or look it's the layout that is so out of date that i dont like it
thats my thoughts

It's the newest layout from 1997 is it not.

 

[Vangelis Parginos]
