RaceRoom Racing Experience News

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We are very excited to bring you one of the most internationally-renowned circuits in the world!

Featuring the GP and National layout, this community favorite will be the stage of many exciting races.

The 4 km long track is located near Castle Donington in the picturesque Leicestershire, England.
Being Britain's first true road circuit to be built, the circuit has a rich history in motorsports, spanning from classic Grand Prix racing in the 1930s through to the modern era.

The track continues to host major national and international events, including yearly visits of the BTCC, British GT/F3, World Superbikes and a historic festival.
Drivers love the challenging layout defined by fast flowing corners like the "Craner Curves" and the "Old Hairpin" combined with good overtaking opportunities at "The Esses" and the "Melbourne Hairpin".

[h2]#RaceRoom’s Summer Sale has started, with big discounts available on everything in our store![/h2]



With almost 200 cars and 128 track layouts to choose from, Raceroom delivers you the complete motorsport experience. Love touring cars? Well, which era: we’ve got a full range of officially licensed WTCC and WTCR cars from across the last decade and more, plus classic tin-tops going right back to the ‘70s. Are GTs your thing? Then you can choose anything from legendary Group C monsters to the latest GT3 machinery. We’ve got full grids from across the years of DTM and ADAC GT Masters, plus single seaters, electric racers, hillclimb specials, Cup cars and more.

We put a huge premium on the accuracy of our physics, using real-world telemetry and data from teams to hone our cars and give you the most accurate driving model possible. We recently overhauled our Force Feedback system, and we’re incredibly proud of the results: they’ve been critically acclaimed and even credited by the community as being among the best in class.

Raceroom has been optimised over the years and doesn’t require the absolute latest hardware to run at its maximum graphics level, meaning you don’t need the latest, most expensive graphics card to experience the thrill of racing – and we also deliver a fantastic VR experience.

It’s the perfect time to pick up the cars you love and the tracks you’ve always dreamed about driving on. Buy an individual livery; buy your favourite car model; buy a whole class of cars in one of our excellent value packs – or even better you can get every single car and track currently available in #RaceRoom’s Premium Pack!
