The RCCO eX ZERO is not your normal car. As we mentioned at its initial release back in December, it’s a fantasy electric car that hopes to one day be a “real” series but is starting with a virtual approach. The car is available as paid DLC from the rFactor 2 store on Steam.
Since then, behind the scenes, the developers appear to have been hard at work with some further updates to the car ahead of its use in the RCCO World eX Championship – an esports series due to start on 11th March.
The biggest change is in the braking department. You can now regenerate electricity/power on the brakes. Previously, you would only be able to expend energy rather than harvest it and run different modes to regen higher levels. This update to the car now means that racing the car becomes a more interesting tactical battle with your opponents as you attempt to preserve power and deploy it at the most efficient time during the race.
Other significant changes include the aerodynamics. The amount of dirty air when you follow another car has been reduced whilst simultaneously the draft/slipstream effect has been increased. In theory this should make it much easier to pass your opponents.
