PC and console racing simulation Rennsport will soon start releasing its first paid-for DLC, focusing on retro machines, and it starts with Porsche 911 GT1 ’98.
This was confirmed for inclusion last year and some renders were shown, but now the latest stills show the car in-game and on-track (Road Atlanta to be more specific).
The 1998-spec was the third and final iteration of the German marque’s GT1 programme, and during that season’s FIA GT Championship, Mercedes-Benz won every single race. Such capitulation for Porsche was humbling.
However, most people don’t remember that. What they remember is this car winning that year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans instead, with Laurent Aïello, Allan McNish and Stéphane Ortelli behind the wheel.
The 991 GT1 will be joined by Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans), the aforementioned Mercedes-Benz CLK LM and the Group C Porsche 956 in the ‘Endurance Classics Part 1’ pack. Aside from the Porsche, however, the other two cars and the track have not yet been showcased.
