  • RaceRoom’s Q1 2026 update will include three new cars and three new tracks
  • New steering angle system and upgraded HUD
  • Released 24th March 2026

Over the last few days, RaceRoom has released a few teasers of what fans can expect to see in the game’s Q1 2026 update.

Now, as developer KW Studio’slatest Grid Talk YouTube episode gets underway, we can finally confirm that three new cars and three new tracks will be released when the update goes live on 24th March.

As well as new content, RaceRoom will also receive tweaks to its in-game HUD and a new steering angle system. Check out all the information on RaceRoom’s Q1 2026 update below.

New cars

  • Alpine A110 GT4+
  • Alpine A110 Cup
  • LRT NXT1 from NXT Gen Cup

There will be two Alpines to choose from in RaceRoom’s latest update, with the A110 Cup car arriving as 100% free content. The GT4+ variant, however, will not be free, but will feature more power and aerodynamic grip than the Cup car. 

This will sit alongside the sim’s other GTR4-category cars, including the BMW M4 GT4 (F82), Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, and McLaren 570s GT4, among others.

The biggest surprise is the inclusion of the LRT NXT1 all-electric tin-top. Based on a Mini Cooper SE, this car is the sole protagonist of the DTM-supporting NXT Gen Cup series.

Featuring front-wheel drive, a 180 kph top speed and a push-to-pass system, it should provide raucous racing. Its interior has also been created with RaceRoom’s most advanced PBR tech, giving the cockpit an extra layer of authenticity.

New tracks

  • Vallelunga
  • Spa-Francorchamps
  • Adria International Raceway (2003 and 2021 layouts)

Familiar to many a motorsport fan, the three new tracks for Q1 2026 offer differing challenges: from the sweeping, high-speed turns of Vallelunga to the tight and twisty confines of Adria.

However, Spa-Francorchamps is undoubtedly the highlight given its historic layout, with the Belgian venue reintroduced to RaceRoom in its modern guise. Spa will also be available at a 50% discount for a limited time after its release.

Of the three, Adria is no longer a working venue, so KW is giving players a precious chance to experience both its 2003 and 2021 configurations in virtual form.

New steering angle system

A new steering angle system should positively affect wheel compatibility going forward. Players can set their maximum wheel rotation once, and the game will do the rest, automatically synchronising each car’s steering lock to players’ setups.

Fine-tuning options will still be available if required, however.

Revised HUD

RaceRoom’s ongoing work to help improve the game’s HUD makes another step up for the Q1 2026 build, with an upgraded driver label system. Fresh customisation controls are also introduced, with other advances expected later in the year.
