Simbin released the Audi 90 Quattro GTO for RaceRoom Racing Experience (R3E). Download it here.

This week we could test drive the Audi 90 Quattro on the RaceRoom Racing Experience DEV drive. Simbin reports that they received a load of positive feedback from the community members. This indicated it was time to release the IMSA GTO racer to the public. While the car model looks amazing, its the sound of the beast that really stands out. Both interior and external sounds are top notch. When you have done a few laps, make sure to check the replay, flip trough the camera options, and listen to that sound… Nothing less the amazing.

RaceRoom Racing Experience is a free-to-play racing game for PC. You can Download the game on the Steam Platform.

Car History:

The 1989 Audi 90 IMSA GTO was a wide-body turbocharged 4 wheel drive racers powered by a 5 cylinder 2190cc engine with 20 valves derived from the Group B and Pikes Peak rally cars. With a massive 720hp at 7500 rpm the car could beat the much bigger engined American IMSA GTO monsters.

During a race the car just looked menacing . With an exhaust that was routed trough the passengers door while spitting huge flames generated by the KKK turbo, and the whistle and waste gate noises of the turbo powered engine, it was a feast for the spectating race fans. During the 1989 IMSA GTO series season, Hans-Joachim Stuck was able to win seven races in this monster.
