rFactor2 at Silverstone in a Honda Civic




This was a fun race. rFactor 2 does have some really good physics. Enough to yank the steering wheel from my hand. You can really drive a car like a car in this Sim. Also the AI is surprisingly good now days. Check it out for yourself.


Game Stock Car Extreme Action


This was a fun race against AI racing the Formula Retro. Oh the sweet sounds this car makes. I have 5 buttkickers going during the race. I can feel the difference of low revs and high revs, the rumble in the seat at each corner. My Fanatec CSW pulls hard on me when bouncing off curbs. I'm topping out at 11,000 RPM! This is a always my defination of fun.

Zakspeed Ford Turbo Capri Coming to RaceRoom!



RaceRoom is on a role. Continuing to bring us fans more and more Sector 3 is soon to bring us another Group 5 update.

I’m probably showing my age, but I love the classics. They have so much heart and raw untamed power that the newer cars don’t have. With 500hp and no traction control this will be fun! I’m looking forward to the new addition to race around with.


Check out some cool pics of the upcoming addition.
