The serious mobile motorsport game, Real Racing 3, will add three new vehicles and a host of new events in its version 9.7 update.
If you’re into your modern sportscars, the title will now feature the 992 generation Porsche 911 in Turbo S guise. It’s rapid, 0-62mph in just 2.5 seconds thanks to a PDK gearbox and all-wheel-drive.
If that doesn’t tickly your clutch pedal, how about some classics? The very first BMW M3, the E30 generation and the 1960s race car Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport will also be available.
RR3 recently received the entire F1 2021 grid, and new events will be added, marking the start of ‘Round 2’. The FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO D’ITALIA 2021 event will take place on 9th September ahead of the real race this weekend, while the FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2021 starts on 1st October.
There will also be a series of flashback events, bonus series and exclusive series, with the three limited time events focussing on the new Porsche, NASCAR at Daytona and the Porsche 935. Elsewhere, Monza now has an evening variant and the detail of the asphalt has been improved.
The full changelog is below and the 9.7 update will go live on 8th September 2021.
