I started playing Raceroom a few days ago to check out some of the paid content that is currently free. I have to say this sim is extremely underrated and I literally feel like I've been missing out. It's definitely the most unappreciated and I don't understand why.
Same here, I’d never played before but gave it a go this week. Honestly been so much fun and the AI is really good, actually had so many good battles with AI. mainly been driving the DTM 2021 and ADAC 2020 cars. Will be buying RR now
Raceroom is underappreciated, because it nails things that are hard to gauge - physics model, driving feel, netcode, sound - while it falls behind in the most superficial qualities - the graphics and the extra features, like rain. This makes it easy to dismiss as not worthy of attention, while hard to recommend based on initial comparison.
it also features so many cars and tracks that you wont find anywhere else. As german i especially appreciate all the DTM stuff and the lesser known german/austrian tracks like lauritsring or salzburgring
I have ist a couple of years now too and i really Love this Sim. We have a group Here in Germany with weekly private 3h endurance races on the Nordschleife and IT is so much fun with 20+ Personen in GT3 Cars.
I wish R3E got the player base it deserves. It’s hard to find full lobbies here in America. It’s been my favorite sim for a little over a year now. So much great content!
Raceroom is the only sim that has compared to ACC for me for GT and TC racing. Great physics, incredible AI, great FFB, and tons of track and car variety. Yeah, the graphics are a bit subpar at best, but that does mean that it runs SUPERBLY well and is super accessible as a VR sim. It's honestly criminal that it isn't more popular, it's easily one of the best sims out there
Raceroom is awesome, the FFB is one of the best now in the industry and the ranked races are amazing, ive had the best battles in RRRE, I hope we can get more NA racers on raceroom, the servers are dead past 7 PM EST
always good to see you on raceroom. hopefully the totally free content promotion followed by the current generous sale offers will bring more players to the sim. i've seen that atm you could buy all the content (150+ cars, 50+ tracks) for 30 euros - which would buy you about 2 cars and a track on iracing - plus there's no monthly fee to be able to access it all. in fact you can always buy all the content for around 60 euros which is an insane price to begin with
I saw a video about setting the Raceroom 'moods' shader to Realistic. It hasn't half made a difference in the look of the sim. I definitely recommend it.
Raceroom is my basic sim. Yes it doesnt have the Best graphics(they are not bad) compare to am2 or ACC but for me it has very straigh forward menu and setup. You can map everything From the car and explains every bit of changes that you make at the car. The loobies because of the pro motion this days they are not clean. A lot of people trying and they are new. But general it is a very clean community even at the rookie cervers. Hope to see you at the track. (N. Papadim)
Few tips: - for the slowdown penalty time you need to have the ingame overlays set at least to "essentials only" instead of turning them off completely. Unfortunately the data isn't in shared memory, so can't be picked up by OtterHud - these cars have push to pass you could have used to get through the guys at the back of the field a bit quicker (also probably a reason why the white car was quite quick in certain acceleration zones)
@@davecamyt plus you can move the slow down messages, by default they are top left and will be behind your overlay, press m to move them, the warnings and slow downs are connected to the flags, so move the flag icon
the positive is existing players can try what they dont have, and the servers are more populated. the negative is more on the track that really dont care about rating and how their driving effects everyone else. And i even seen some that just go in to wreck into everyone for the lol and be troll like.
Fair comments, but to be as equally fair, everyone has to start somewhere, especially the newbies, as not everyone has years of experience in sim racing or car set up. I’m sure you’d give it a go if you were just a rookie class driver…..I know I would. It’s the risk you take in a public lobby that doesn’t group similarly experienced drivers.
With the Audi TT I would recommend 0 Traction Control or only 20% as it's front wheel drive but you can use the seperate launch control for the start! And for the time of the slow down penalty, simply use the penalty message of the original Raceroom HUD and deactivate that message on otter HUD. That's what I've done I use the best things of otter HUD combined with the best things of the Raceroom HUD
R3E was one of the first serious sims I ever driven, back in the day when I was running a G27 purchased between my brother and me. It's been one of those ones that never really got me hooked. While I like the FFB feeling, the sound, and the cool licenses they have, it's not very pretty, doesn't have a decent enough safety system, the netcode is quite meh, people learn the track during the race... I don't know, never really hooked me. Kind of feel like it's a pity they have so many cool licenses locked for themselves, but I understand the love this sim gets. It's definitely one of the good ones.
Right around the time this game is no longer free I’ll finally be recovered from my surgery I’ve tried to cheat Dr’s orders but I can’t push that load cell it hurts bad atm I’m hoping another month on walking around and I’ll finally be able to play again properly
Raceroom used to be my favourite sim until about 6 months ago when it started to randomly crash. Earlier this year the frame rate started dropping before I completed a single lap & then the track surroundings start to bounce up and down. If I stop the car and accelerate again the engine sound is very weird & the frame rate is worse than ever. The game runs in 32 bit mode but in VR it looks awful, and I am much slower using a monitor. No amount of searching has found a reason why 64 bit mode no longer works for me.
really enjoy this game , it just needs a few improvements; UI could be improved, ability to watch live races and practice severs, the time of practice before race on offical servers is not enough. But content and the way it drives is amazing. hope they can improve these minor things
Played this a couple months ago but didn't want to buy into another game and wow I'm annoyed I didn't find out sooner they were doing this to try it out with some good cars
You mentioned the standard of driving but you were in a rookie race. They are, unfortunately, not the cleanest. The amateur and pro races are a great deal cleaner.
I love Raceroom, but unfortunately it seems to have more of a non USA following. I live in on the west coast in the US and when I log on to Raceroom in the evening, all the servers are pretty much empty. :(
Ah yes the joys of racing in public lobbies! Í don't mind people making mistakes as it happens to everyone, but it's the Super Max wannabe's that try ridiculous moves I can't stand. Nice steady racing there Dave.
Nice run! RRRE is a fun game. Where you running the Audi TT cup? I thought those cars in RRRE had a "push-to-pass" option you could use four or five times in a race?
@@davecamyt Hey there, Dave Cam, check the RRRE car options. When I used the Audi TT when it was released I believe it had the P2P option. That came to my mind when that one guy passed you after Turn 3 and you wondering how he was so fast. Cheers!
I prefer a race when everyone gets the same ride, With the same cars it's an even field, It's races like this that will improve your laptimes or it should do, lol, I find for learning a track it's best using an open wheeler like a Caterham I found myself, Each to their own tho, lol... I like the foot cam after all most of the driving is done in the feet isn't it, lol.... Online lobbies are a risk worth taking some times, There is still a fair few people on the AC ps4 lobbies that's really fast, So it's always a great lap when someone is the same pace or faster than you, If they faster then follow and learn, Happy days..... I like the Redbull ring tricky corners but again the more tricky a track is the harder it is, The more you learn if you can stay out of the rage stage, Lol..... Raceroom don't look that bad, Clean looking, I will defo be trying it out soon as I'm in the PC sim world, I got the PC kept back, Just got pay for it, Lol... Still tho a fast mid range liquid cooled for about 700 qiud can't be that bad.... If anyone knows a good place to purchase grafic cards for good prices please drop me a link plz, I read grafic cards are dropping in price so fingers crossed I can get a decent card..... You sold this game to me Dave, I will defo have to try it, It's not really that expensive ain't it.... Another quality video bro.... Stay safe Dave.....
I had tried RR because it was free to use . ..then quite by accident saw all content was free last month ((Note to Marketing at RR-a placed web ad I think would have paid off)...I'm normally ACC user-so that's my benchmark - And .. I like RaceRoom, good feel, good sound, good graphics and the best part, a very realistic AI .. First off, I am not a very good Sim Racer - middle of the mid at best iRacing C - So i get crashed out a lot - I just gave up .... After a few free days of RR - I just bought the whole game..It was discounted and came to about what iRAcing is for a year -Without all the added DLC of iRAcing so a better deal .. Is RR a contender with the others of this class ? Im a regular older guy with work and a life - Not a live on the Rig user and I say >>> MOST DEFINITELY !!!
The first 4 turns already proof why it's NOT a good online racing sim. People drive like idiots. It's not like iRacing. I have RaceRoom too. Thanks for showing us though.
@@panvlk Gotcha. I raced in maybe 2 open lobbies when I tried out the game and it was kamikaze fest. I am sure there are some private servers etc that are better but to me the iRacing experience is worth the extra money.
if you wanna buy it i highly recommend the version that unlocks everything, its very worth it and you save money, just make sure to buy their currency and buy it with it, you save extra money
The game is absolutely lovely and i agree it's not recognized as is deserves. For some reason when I play I have no race engineer comments. I looked everywhere in the options menu and i cannot figure out if something is disabled or what. From the video I see you have lot of race engineer informations. Or is it some third party software?
Try changing the camera view, you might not be in the correct view. If that doesn't work go to "Controls/Keybind" in the options and assign keys to shift the view.

Glad to see u racing RR - I've thoroughly been enjoying this Sim.
I wish more sims would have the gear shift effect I know is just a gimmick but it feels so cool.
I own this game a couple of years now and love it. Yesterday I had a great ranked race in the NSU at Zandvoort, so much fun.

Welcome to Raceroom Dave!
Played this a couple months ago but didn't want to buy into another game and wow I'm annoyed I didn't find out sooner they were doing this to try it out with some good cars
Problem with RR ppl quali then leave race with no penalty. So if participation is low to begin with I’m racing with 3 cars
You mentioned the standard of driving but you were in a rookie race. They are, unfortunately, not the cleanest. The amateur and pro races are a great deal cleaner.
Good race Dave. free is a good price I'll have to give it a try.
@Dave Cam have you done a video on how to set up triples on Raceroom? Having a lot of trouble
Boy you sure do push the limits. I once broke my car and was rewarded the worst mechanical failure sound in the game going over a curb too fast.
I love the part when a car gets dq’d it goes poof 💥 gone immediately 😆
I love Raceroom, but unfortunately it seems to have more of a non USA following. I live in on the west coast in the US and when I log on to Raceroom in the evening, all the servers are pretty much empty. :(
Like the poddington peas
Hi Dave what steering wheel are you using? Grid or Precision? 😊 thanks
Neither 😁
It's a VPG VP-SPG 👍
I 100% agree that this is the most unappreciated sim out there.
Trouble with face room it works then it doesn't then steering doesn't work.if got over 1000 hours in game,lately it doesn't work properly
