The exceptionally talented PiBoSo has released beta build 11 of the impressive World Racing Series simulation for Windows PC.
Released just a couple of days ago, the new beta 11 build for World Racing Series weighs in at 552 MB and contains a number of fixes to both simulation aspects and online multiplayer elements of the game. With VR support improvements, enhancements to cut track rules and other minor and major developments the beta 11 build is a nice update to a game that already performs remarkably well.
