In this video you can watch a race at the legendary Indianapolis Speedway on the new Cadillac CTS.V-R (as with the other videos in the series).
Since this is the final round you can also see a final championship standings screen with a congratulations message. Pretty basic stuff, but I suppose the game doesn't need flashy sequences.
Click here for part 1, 2 and 3 of the custom championship.
Once again, the new CTS.V-R along with the revamped GTR2 class cars will be available in the next update - which will bring the custom championship feature as well.
EDIT: Raceroom Racing Experience has indeed been updated. No new content for now, but the GTR2 and Gr.5 cars have been fully updated.
What’s New (Summary)
- Custom Championships.
- Mouse Steering. You can now select the mouse steering profile in the controller settings.

Game:
- Added Custom Championships in RRE.
- Shadow map improvements to make car shadows smoother.
- Put local shadow map back to 32 bits for smoother car shadows.
- Added car shadow kernel and epsilon.
- Implemented better device support by changing device ID to include instance, wheel type and rim type ID’s to support several devices of the same type and to differentiate between devices that share the same product ID. (Fanatec CSR and CSR Elite for example). More default profiles will be added later.
