KW Studios deployed the Q2 2025 Update for RaceRoom and added two iconic cars to its classic Touring Car lineup. The Alfa Romeo 156 and the Opel Vectra.
The two new additions will join the already available BMW 320i (E36), Audi A4 Quattro, Volvo 850, Volvo S40, and the Honda Accord.
Alfa Romeo 156:
The Alfa Romeo 156 is one of the most iconic touring cars of the late 1990s, dominating championships with its sharp handling and distinctive style. Developed to Super Touring regulations, it became a fan favorite thanks to its aggressive performance and unmistakable Italian flair. Now faithfully recreated in RaceRoom, the 156 delivers a thrilling drive and brings a new level of authenticity to your Super Touring battles.
Opel Vectra:
A cornerstone of German touring car history, the Opel Vectra was a fierce competitor in the Super Touring era. Built to the highest standards of the time, the Vectra combined stability, precision, and raw competitiveness, going wheel-to-wheel with the best in the field. A true icon of classic touring car racing.
Furthermore, RaceRoom now features the German Alemannenring historic street circuit.
Alemannenring:
The Alemannenring was a former street circuit located in the industrial area of Singen (Hohentweil), in Baden-Württemberg, Southern Germany.
The 2.800 km (1.740 miles) long street circuit featured 8 turns, of which 7 were 90-degree turns, and one was a 180-degree hairpin. There was also a small chicane towards the end of the straight on Robert Gerwig Strasse.
The Alemannenring primarily hosted rounds of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM), Germany’s premier touring car series at the time. It hosted a DTM event annually between 1991 and 1995. Other major events included the German F3 (1992–1995), Porsche Carrera Cup Germany (1991, 1993–1995), and the Austrian Formula 3 Cup (1994).
