Auto Club Speedway
– Auto Club Speedway is now available for purchase and features four configurations. These configurations are as follows:
· Oval: 2 mile Speedway (day and night versions)
· Competition: 2.8 mile road course which utilizes parts of the oval and infield road course.
· Moto: 2.36 mile road course which also utilizes parts of the oval and the infield road course. This configuration features a chicane prior to Oval T1.
· Interior: 1.45 mile road course which is run exclusively in the infield area.
– We have provided setups this track for the various Stockcars, and the Dallara and the Silver Crown.
Ruf RT 12R – Preview
– We are releasing a preview of our new car, the Ruf RT 12R. Included are three versions:
· The 730 horsepower street car itself, in rear wheel drive (RWD) trim. This car demands a lot of respect: huge power, high speeds, treaded street tires and almost no downforce. If you brake early, expect lower mid-corner speeds, and apply throttle slowly and progressively, this car will give a very rewarding driving experience.
· The RUF C-Spec is a full-on race car, but one tailored to the single make, spec-class sports car series which have found increasing favor around the world in recent years.
· The RUF Track is more than capable of giving cars like the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 a run for their money.
Controls
