RaceRoom WTCR Tomorrow - New VW Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

The final preview image of the upcoming WTCR DLC for RaceRoom Racing Experience is here - give a warm RD welcome to the mighty VW Golf GTI TCR...

The VW group have had something of a troubled time over the last few years, dieselgate and a mass exodus for brands under the VW Group umbrella across a variety of different racing series having been the highlights (or should that be lowlights) of the last few seasons.

However with the every increasingly popular TCR regulations now taking something of a foothold in racing series across Europe and further afield, the troubled German brand are making a rather impressive comeback thanks to the potent little Golf GTI TCR, securing wins in numerous national TCR championships as well as fielding an impressive couple of cars for former WTCC champion Rob Huff and team mate Mehdi Bennani, although the 2018 season isn't quite shaping up the way either team or driver would like, the Golf nevertheless still represents a race winning threat, and can't quite be ruled out of the championship hunt this season.

The Golf reveal today marks the final car announcement before the new DLC is set to drop alongside a new RaceRoom update tomorrow (Wednesday), and I can assure you now the wait for this new pack of cars will very much be worthwhile... watch out for a new 'talk n drive' video tomorrow with the WTCR pack, it's a blast!

So with all seven cars now shown, all we have to do is sit back and await the fun to begin!

Cupra TCR
Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCR
Honda Civic Type R TCR
Peugeot 308TCR
Audi RS3 LMS TCR
Hyundai i30 N TCR

You can usually test drive the cars in the shop as well before you buy them.

 

[Case_]

Yep, you can test each car for however long you like in the store before you buy them.

Which is amazing thing, if only more games did this !!!

After watching the preview last night, struggling to understand why unless you're a die hard fan of WTCR you would race these over the decommissed WTCC cars.
Cannot even hear turbo noise, they just seem bland IMO.
I wish Sector 3 focussed on improving the game as opposed to releasing content that would appear rinse and repeat of older content with new skirts.
Sorry if this sounds negative, but they are getting left behind

If you test drive the cars, you will clearly hear the turbos, which are indeed quite loud on the WTCR cars irl.
I made them even louder than usual in R3E.

RaceRoom is down for maintenance so later today, probably after lunchtime.

 

[Zoltan76]

Sorry if being repetitive, but is there anything about the UE4 engine?

 

[Vangelis Parginos]

Not in the near future, but after GTR3 announcement, closer than i thought. I hope so.

 

[Echo291191]

When they change over to Unreal, it's not going to be a new game right? All the content we have bought won't be lost?

Sure it won't be
