How to get best value for money in RaceRoom!

[@noveltygamerr7738]

I just installed race room last night definitely going to use this guide to help me get what I need and how I want to play tonight !

[@azarisLP]

1. Buy 10,000 VRP from the store (not through Steam) 2. Wait until there isn't a bunch of new content coming out next week 3. Buy the Premium Pack Done.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

😂 Yep that’s what I did, plus timed with a sale. Not everyone fancies that though!

[@Martakus1000]

Is there a schedule for when new content comes out?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

@@Martakus1000 unfortunately not - the developers do post occasional updates in their discord server and on their forums. There is usually a significant update around Christmas time, and they recently flagged a bunch of new content coming this summer - including new cars and wider physics and FFB improvements.

[@woodcote7617]

You pretty much nailed it with some good advise there. I started in RR in mid January this year and found the free content allowed me to race online and try enough of the simulation to understand if i wanted to keep at it anymore...you know the sim racers folly.... wheel, pedals..then the rig and seat.....then the upgrades.....and so the slippery slope goes on.... from there you cannot go far wrong with just the starter pack.... however it did not take me long to just be done with it and get the Premium pack sure i have a load of cars and tracks i have not even driven and may never drive but i got the impression it was not worth the time to pick and choose what i wanted or thought i'd need given the over all saving from just buying Premium.

[@marcelopereira1183]

The community needed a video like this! I'm new to R3E from iracing and couldn't find a recent one! OBS: on the intro the sound of the logo is way higher than the video itself

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah thanks man - hope it's helpful! And great you're getting in to RaceRoom! And thanks re. sound levels - still struggling with the right mix in some elements on the vid!

[@ricardoribeiro7560]

When u said u are used to buy Fifa, F1 and Football Manager every year i felt relatable and i subscribed ahaha I´m getting started with R3E, coming from iracing but the content there is waaaaaay expensive so i may spend more time in raceroom. And this past news about ranked servers sounds great! Anyways great guide videos, keep the good content man!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah thanks Ricardo - appreciate the feedback and the sub! I’m really hoping the competition system gets somewhere close to iracing in RaceRoom. Will take some time, and honestly the ranked servers right now are still great fun. And haha re fifa and footy manager etc! 😂

[@KurnoBucca]

Also worth mentioning that pack prices are reduced if you own elements of the pack already. I went for the starter pack, the European track pack and a couple of gt3 cars for around 3000 vrp and have had at least 3 or 4 ranked servers to choose from each week without buying more... Although I did buy imola this week... And a Ford gt gt1, the engine just sounds incredible! Haha still over 1000 vrp left from my 5000 though

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Yeah great point! There's a few things like that I should have included! That's great re. how you've gone about buying the content you need to get online. I raced Imola last night in the GTR2 class - video should be going up later!

[@fernando.espaniol.alonso]

Is the starter pack worth it?

[@vsm1456]

Steam DLCs often get overlooked or even actively discouraged to buy they often get 50% discount, which already makes them a good offer. if there's regional pricing, the deal might be even better. of course these DLCs are old, but for tracks or classic cars they worth considering

[@justmatto3940]

If you can wait you can buy everything for 50€ on blackfriday, the 7500 vrp pack recive like a 50% sale and it is how i bought all the content last year

[@sbbeowulf8296]

Today was my first day on a sim and already love it I got raceroom but have no in game content

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hey man - that’s awesome! Hope you enjoy it - both offline and online is great!

[@BOTRacing]

New to sim racing and Raceroom and you explained it very well. Thank you, Be seeing you on the track!

[@82ogo]

I enjoy buy new single pack, it is my joy. As I respect dev team.

[@labounti]

Thank you so much. This was very helpful.

[@philippemoinet1407]

J adore jouer sur Raceroom en off line, pour les courses multi catégories c est la meilleur simu. Imaginez faire une course sur le green hell avec les GT3, GT4, Porsche Cup, BMW série, touring car, et pourquoi pas une BMW 635 pour l ambiance! C est génial ;)

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Je ne parle pas bien le français, but yes I agree - the AI is very good and you can bring together some great races with different classes! 😁

[@philippemoinet1407]

@@Ben_LaBroca OK sorry. I use Google translate for next time. Sorry for my English :)

[@Ben_LaBroca]

@@philippemoinet1407 no no not at all!! I was able to translate it just fine, only my ability to write French back is rubbish! Also, I’m sure your English is a lot better than my french! 😂 Hopefully see you on track sometime!

[@philippemoinet1407]

@@Ben_LaBroca ah ok no prob, I see :)

[@RogueBeatsARG]

i just started, buyed only the AMG GT4 because all ranked races where GT4 so, no free ranked i guess

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Yeah a solid choice to start with - usually at least one GT4 race per week, either in rookies or sometimes the longer races too. Hope to see you on track sometime fella!

[@RogueBeatsARG]

@@Ben_LaBroca Sure! gane got me hooked for sure

[@SKY051YTB]

pulei da cadeira quando começou o vídeo, que susto kkkk like me inscrevi XD

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ha I’m sorry I don’t speak Portuguese, but I think you mean the noise at the beginning is too loud? Sorry about that!! Thank you for subscribing!

[@ludmilpan]

the premium pack is the way to go

[@madlion8733]

Is that a BMW M8? Also, where do you get that livery?

[@vsm1456]

it's a GT4 class, so it's an M4 GT4

[@jackgoresailing]

Nice video just subbed 👍

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thank you buddy - appreciate that. Play much RaceRoom?

[@jackgoresailing]

@@Ben_LaBroca yeah it's my main sim 😁

[@Ben_LaBroca]

@@jackgoresailing just saw lots of R3E on your channel there! Good stuff man - hopefully see you on track some time!

[@jackgoresailing]

@@Ben_LaBroca yeah I'm gonna get back into making r3e video content soon - ac took over temporarily

[@SoberHighDrunk]

How about the new 2024 update?

[@KnowerofThings]

how do you test drive cars for free?? i dont have that option. i just got the game thanks

[@cpttazko8864]

I'm confused: the premium pack costs 9999 VRP or roughly 99€ - a bulk discount, which is 18% so it ends up on around 81€ for 10k VRP but if i buy 10k vrp, i pay 65€. so not knowing that, makes you waste like 20€ right? or am i missing something?

[@arch_..]

you are correct

[@stanky9lax]

You are correct. I think they are doing it to bypass Steams 30% cut, which is about what would be the difference in prices

[@coco--7978]

I am already signed in through steam in race room and I have bought things so it doesn’t work for me sadly :(

[@TsZen876]

Great video

[@truth_and_raids3404]

This makes me so sad, I don't need another iracing style sim , what happened to buying a game and getting a full game.......

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Aye those days are sadly gone across much of video gaming
