RaceRoom Build Update And Road America Track Released

Sector3 Studios has deployed a new update for their RaceRoom Racing Experience title and added new track content in the form of the Road America circuit.

The new build release for RaceRoom brings us the usual list of fixes and improvements focusing mainly on the Multiplayer and AI aspects of the simulator. Check out the full changelog below for more details.


While in the past, the Sector3 Studios track team has already made a name for itself developing stunning virtual versions of real-world racing circuits, it seems they have raised the bar once more. In our humble opinion, the RaceRoom Road America version is easily the most impressive and visually pleasing virtual recreation of the track yet.

Road America is a famous North American permanent road course located near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin USA. Surrounded by the rolling hills of Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine, the 6.541km track has hosted races since the 1950s and currently hosts events such as the NASCAR Xfinity Series, WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, SCCA Pirelli World Challenge, ASRA, AMA Superbike series, IndyCar Series, and SCCA Pro Racing’s Trans-Am Series.The 6.515 km (4.048 mi) long track features 14 turns.

The RaceRoom Road America track addon is available at the RaceRoom Store for €4.98.
