RaceRoom’s first open wheel car, the psuedo GP2 Formula RaceRoom 2 (FR2), is coming this Christmas. Or is it by Christmas? Either way, the direct capture video that Sector3 Studios released says Christmas, so if the staff wants to be in the office on Christmas day, more power to them. But a day or two before Christmas would be cool to. 😉
First time hearing about an open wheel car coming to RaceRoom? Well it has been awhile since Sector3 has openly showed the car. In fact, before this video, the only thing we had was two images released back in August.

But clearly the team’s been working on it between releasing Spa, Paul Ricard, Chang International, DTM 2015 and Audi TT Cup. Wow, that’s a lot of content.
Back to the FR2. It’s not easy to take much away from the video other then the car looks nice and sounds pretty good. Due to the nature of the car it doesn’t sport the full meatiness sound that RaceRoom’s cars always fantastically relay, but again, it’s a high revving, stressed, open wheel engine.
Will be cool to get our hands on the FR2 and see what Sector3 can do with an open wheel car.
Wow, now with the ffb, the sounds and the track edges and a formula style car? Wow. Just Wow.
Looks good, but the sound is a little bit weak compared to onboard GP2 especially under braking. That is surprising as Raceroom is normally spot on with the sounds. The theme of the sounds seem real just a bit weak / toned down. Hope they improve it, GP2 sounds better than F1 IMO.
Btw. check these 10 minutes of Hamilton GP2 session. He overtakes the opposition left, right and center like never seen before, after a very rare mistake / spin. Thats why he was in a top team in F1 the year after. The video is legendary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQv5sVYdTaA
Nice! I am looking forward to driving the car during the holidays!
