Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Competition Company has dropped a new update for the Rennsport Beta, introducing new content, and several new features, and enhancements. A roadmap of planned updates for 2024 is set to be announced early next year.
Most notably, the update adds the first official community-developed project in the form of the Orchard Road Street Circuit.
The Orchard Road Street Circuit mod is a fictional 4.9-kilometer-long street circuit featuring 18 turns. The track design is based on the famous Orchard Road shopping district in Singapore. The mod was originally created for Assetto Corsa by the Legion of Racers (LOR) sim racing team for their HyperDrive Cities Championship.
Alongside the new track, V1.7 also adds a league system and two new beta liveries, one for completing an online race, and one for winning an online race.
