We are sorry to announce to all of Citroën and FIA WTCC fans that after a very successful presence in both the real and the virtual WTCC series, the vehicles of the french manufacturer Citroën are no longer allowed to be sold in the RaceRoom store. As a consequence, all Citroën cars within RaceRoom are pulled out of the RaceRoom store as well as DLC packages on Steam. Players who had purchased those cars can continue to use them without limitations. The Starter Pack, which used to promote the french brand by featuring the C-Elysée TC1, now contains the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR as a replacement.
Oh boy, here we go. Money is the only reason I can think of. Those greedy ******! Don't they realise that showing their brand in games is a form of advertising for them? Couldn't that be communicated a bit sooner to allow users to complete their collection before it's too late?
Time for the Citrus B-Limone TC1 fantasy replacement? Quite strange move by Groupe PSA... Hopefully not a trend.
Yes, actually. If there is a next time (but hopefully there isn't), then we should be told about a week or so in advance, or as soon as the responsible manufacturer has informed S3 of the licence cancellation.
Maybe this is the case? I don't think S3 got that message 2 two weeks ago and just didn't tell us because they don't want to sell their products...
Still would have been nice to have a grace period where we were notified so users like myself could grab them before they are gone for good. I was holding out on the premium pack until the next car was released (whenever that would be) and instead I now have incomplete WTCC grids because of it. I'm not blaming Sector3 just saying that a grace period would have been very much appreciated.
You definitely won't be able to buy or drive it but it might still be on the grid as AI - I don't know - anyone?
They don't appear in the AI selector. That was the first thing I checked. Other cars I don't own can be selected there though.
how do i get access to it when i have to reinstall my PC / re-download the sim ?!?!? or is it a case of: you didn't read the fineprint when buying ..?
They don't appear in the statistics page either. I just checked to see how much laps I did with these cars because I can't remember driving one It's funny to see how some people will miss these cars now we can't buy them anymore. I would be curious to see the sales figures of the Ruf from the moment S3 announced that they won't be available in the store after the Porsche would be there
The car will still be present in the game's files after you re-download it, and if you own it, it will still be unlocked through your account. New users just won't be able to buy it anymore. This might be a bug, happening due to the fact that these pages draw their info from the store page. If the cancellation didn't require S3 to remove them from those menus, I'm sure they'll restore the cars on those pages. However, the cars will get used by the AI if you don't use the AI selector.
Fortunately, if you own a WTCC car, you can still race with the whole field of that year! Simply do not use the Ai Selector, just use the 'oldschool' selecter of opponents. How many, you ask? Here you go: WTCC 2014 17 cars included, so select 16 WTCC 2015 24 cars included, so select 23 WTCC 2016 21 cars included, so select 20 WTCC 2017 16 cars included, so select 15 There won't be any double cars or less cars, it will be the exact grid as we all know and love Sadly, you will not be able to combine the whole grid with other classes when you don't own every Citroen Let's understeer again, guys! Greetings
Thanks for this tip. Will suck to not have anyway of driving them, but at least the grids will complete. Appreciate the tip!
