This vehicle represents a unique and highly significant chapter in late 90s endurance racing history. Introducing this car would offer players a distinct driving experience, as it significantly differs from the mid-engine layout that characterizes the majority of the current GT1 and GTR class vehicles in the game. Its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration, combined with its iconic aesthetic, would be an incredible addition to the simulator's diverse lineup. Vehicle Specifications: Engine: Ford-derived 6.0L naturally aspirated V8 Configuration: Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive Power Output: Approximately 600 hp @ 7,000 rpm Transmission: X-Trac 6-speed sequential gearbox Chassis: Carbon fiber monocoque Weight: Approximately 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs) 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph): ~3.2 seconds Top Speed: Approximately 330 km/h (205 mph) depending on gear ratios and aerodynamic configuration. The Panoz GTR-1 is not only a fan favorite for its unmistakable, thunderous V8 engine note, but it also provides a unique technical challenge. Mastering the weight distribution and the turn-in characteristics of a front-engine endurance racer would provide a refreshing gameplay dynamic for both casual drivers and league competitors. Furthermore, it would perfectly complement the existing historical GT content within RaceRoom, allowing for more accurate and nostalgic multi-class racing scenarios.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it already, but let me bring up the late-2000s DTM as well… it was amazing, and I don’t think it’s ever really made it into any sim racing title (I only ever had a mod for Race 07).
Inspired by the new DHLM, I' really like to see the few missing cars like : BMW 2002, Ford Escort MK 1 , Ford Escort RS 2000, Opel Ascona A & B, Opel Kadett C / GTE, Opel Kadett D/E GSE/i, Opel Monza, Opel Manta Gruppe A A+B, Renault 5 Turbo, Renault 11 Turbo, Peugeot 205 Gti, VW Golf 1 GTi, VW Shirocco Gti
In theory we have the Group2 class, but it has only one car. At least a few of them would fit that class.
we'll its gone strength to strength now, we've got a couple championships up, its become the default for anything not supercars, gone through cheating dramas, gearbox issues and tenders (can now use the gforce or xtrac) , fights, drama, a semi driver change enduro,v8 supercars enduro drivers in these to keep sharp, parity dramas with the ford body being so much better at fast circuits, young Alice Buckley set the grid on fire lately too, theres just nothing to dislike, raceroom needs these more than ever
Ah yes, I had read about that once... and then forgot. Thanks for clearing that up, I was actually getting a bit hyped
Just saw that a new Tatuus is out... it would be super cool to have it in RR! In my opinion, it looks (and sounds) 100x better than older one we have in game right now. Here's a video: , and 2 screenshots of it!
that new BMW G87 Cup, seems much better than that M2 CS we have this also is rare instance of car that would benefit from Raceroom generic dashboards
