For 2017, Sector3 Studios has some awesome new content lined up for their RaceRoom Racing Experience racing simulator.

One of the upcoming new car models is the WTCC Volvo S60 Polestar TC1. The car will be part of the upcoming RaceRoom 2016 World Touring Car Championship add-on that will include all cars from the 2016 WTCC Season.

Today Sector3 Studios has published a new set of in-game preview screenshots showing us the Swedish touring car in action on the track. Incidentally, the featured track is a surprise on its own. Sector3 Studios proudly announced they will soon be releasing a RaceRoom version of the Swedish Karlskoga aka Gelleråsen circuit.

The Karlskoga Motorstadion, also called Gelleråsen is the oldest permanent motorsport race track in Sweden. The 2.4 km circuit is located 6 km north of Karlskoga. The venue is host to a selection of spectacular racing series such as the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (STCC), Porsche Carrera Cup, Camaro Cup and various Historic Racing Series.

There is no official release date set, but Sector3 hinted that the track will be available #soon.
