RaceRoom Update Adds Zhejiang International Circuit

You can now go sim racing at one of the newest Chinese circuits as a RaceRoom update adds Zhejiang International Circuit. Opened in 2016, the venue has only previously appeared in the latest GRID title from Codemasters.

Zhejiang is a 3.2km (1.980 mile) track with 16 turns located in Shaoxing in China, and designed by Apex Circuit Design to include a main layout, kart circuit, hotel and more as an FIA Grade 2 venue. It’s used by various TCR and GT series already. And you can see why it might be fun to drive in a short preview video.

Available from the RaceRoom store, the Zhejiang Circuit track pack includes both the GP layout, and the 1.54km East Circuit version. It will cost you £4.17 (or £83.59 as part of the Premium Pack, which has all currently available content in one bundle).

You can check out every circuit available in our full RaceRoom track list, or find every game which features a particular circuit in our Trackipedia.

The addition of Zhejiang International Circuit as paid DLC isn’t the only new thing for RaceRoom Racing Experience from Sector3 Studios. The latest update also tweaks the reputation system, adds some new car options, and fixes some controller issues.

New Content: Zhejiang International Circuit

Changelist:

• Reputation – Incident points cooldown has been increased from 3 seconds to 4 seconds to limit escalation after being pushed out of the track.
• Reputation – Player now receives one incident point for invalidating a lap.
• Reputation – Just after a 4 seconds cooldown, we are now ignoring further incidents for track object collisions, going off-track and losing control until the car has rejoined the track.
• Option – The headrests of the cockpit seat were reportedly annoying for VR users as the camera was clipping through, so we added an option to toggle the rendering of the driver seat.
• Controllers – Added a profile for the Xbox gamebad when connected through bluetooth
• Controllers – Thrustmaster and Logitech wheels – Tweaked force exponent, max output and front wheel grip exponents to increase FFB feel in subtle effects
• Fixed controller profiles for Bodnar cable and Fanatec CSW 2.5 to prevent some detection issues.
