RaceRoom – Volvo S60 Polestar At The Nordschleife
Sector3 Studios staff member, Georg Ortner aka 6e66o has posted a new video in his famous RaceRoom Racing Experience #realPOV video series.
We can see Georg drive the upcoming Volvo S60 Polestar TC1 around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. This car will be part of the soon to be released RaceRoom 2016 World Touring Car Championship add-on which will include all the cars from the 2016 WTCC Season.
At this time, there is no official release date set, but the Sector3 Studios staff has been hinting that we might see the 2016 WTCC pack released sooner then we think.
