You have been waiting for it for a long time. Now we are proud to announce that the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps will be available in R3E this week! The 7 km long track is located in the Belgian Ardennes countryside, where it used to serve as public road. Over the years it has hosted many Racing Series including F1, WEC, Blancpain Endurance Series, GT Masters, WTCC & DTM. The annual Highlights being the 1000km and the 24H Race. It features the most famous corner in Motorsport. The "Eau Rouge", which translates to "Red Water", named after a river close to the circuit. The circuit probably demonstrates the importance of driver skill more than any other in the world. This is largely due to the Eau Rouge and Blanchimont corners, both which need to be taken flat out to achieve a fast run onto the straights after them. It is one of the most challenging race tracks in the world, mainly due to its fast, hilly and twisty nature. Inside the track itself a Gokart facility can be found. The Bus Stop Chicane has gone under a lot of changes. The most recent one dates back to 2007. Check out this video of a WIP Version of the track. NOTE: Many small changes and improvements have been made since! The Track will come in 3 layouts, based on different position of Start/Finish and Pit entry/exit. Grand Prix: S/F between Bus Stop & La Source Pit entry: Bus Stop Pit exit: La Source Classic: S/F between La Source and Eau Rouge Pit entry: after La Source Pit exit: Top of Raidillon Combined: S/F between La Source and Eau Rouge Pit entry: Bus Stop Pit exit: Top of Raidillon See you on track soon!
Spa Spa Spa Spa, Spa Spa Spa Spa, Spaaaa oh wonderful Spa. So happy, you've been forcing me to go iracing p) for a Spa hit, dog's will be happy, only a few more kicks every morning after store disappointment! Tsk Tsk Raceroom, thought bracketed tongue out emoticon was sorted? Or did you say after the next update? which is when? may I enquire politely! (never hurts to try )
Awesome, and thanks! Question: will the classic layout feature the old bus stop chicane or will all versions have the current chicane layout? I'm guessing all the layouts are the same configuration, just different s/f lines and pit entry/exit. Either way, my eyes find R3E's tracks to be the most enjoyable of all the sims so I can't wait to thrash around Ardennes in all of its S3S glory! That's some nice work boys.
Great news! But can we please have some features along with it as well? Pit stops, no AI controll in pits and fuel? Please, please!
I hope for those soon too, but even in its current state I find R3E to be very enjoyable (FFB aside) so I'll be happy to fill up on some authentic Belgian poutine while we await the new features.
Oh, it is! But I have a bunch of cars waiting for me to take them on championships, but I'm waiting for Mandatory pit stops or tire wear multiplier before I do that. In the meantime I do championships in Race 07..
Nice. After watching the Goodwood Revival, I was just looking into the Power and Glory mod for GTR2, thinking that might keep me entertained until these current sims get up to snuff.
Really great news... can't wait to race on that track... "unfortunately" I'm going on vacation for a bit more than a week, so I'll have to wait a bit longer for it. But not to bad to have something to look for when coming back from vacation ^^ Hm, as new content often means an update, will we expect a bigger update?
