Rennsport’s Touring Classics DLC dated, plus free cars and track

Rennsport’s second paid DLC of 2026 is set to arrive tomorrow, 25th June, with the long-delayed release of Touring Classics Part 1.

Included in the Deluxe Edition or available to purchase separately, the racing simulation’s latest DLC pack contains four historic DTM cars.

These include the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI and Mercedes-Benz C-Class V6, which competed in the championship between 1993 and 1995. They are joined by the BMW M3 E30 and Mercedes-AMG 190 E Evo II.

These DTM classics can be raced around the Hockenheimring Classic layout, a new track included in the DLC.  

Alongside the DLC, the latest update adds two free cars to the roster: the HWA EVO.R teased last month and the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport.

Also included is a free community circuit in the form of Thermalito, a mod originally created by DDF Racer and converted to Rennsport by Nukedrop.

Beyond new cars and tracks, the latest update brings a host of stability and AI improvements, reducing their chances of collisions and enhancing their “cornering logic,” among other changes.  

From tomorrow, the Standard Edition will also receive a 50% discount, reduced to €24,99 on PC and €29.99 on consoles.

At the same time, discounts for the Deluxe Edition will be temporarily removed, with a new version featuring extra content expected to go on sale at a reduced price between late July and late August.
