RaceRoom Overhauls Force Feedback in Historic Update

Today's October 20 Historic Update for RaceRoom Racing Experience is about more than just the 1998 Super Touring cars and 1995 Spa-Francorchamps. Under the hood, KW Studios shipped a comprehensive physics and force feedback overhaul that changes how cars react over high curbs and bumpy braking zones.

The update refines the tire contact patch suspension model across both historic and modern classes, giving direct drive wheel owners much clearer feedback when the front tires begin to unload. Patch notes and download details are live on RaceRoom's official site.

What changed in RaceRoom's force feedback signal today?
The physics engine now calculates tire sidewall deflection and vertical suspension load over sausage curbs with higher fidelity, sending cleaner self-aligning torque directly to your steering wheel without needing artificial canned vibration effects.
Do I need to reset my wheel profile after the October 20 update?
KW Studios recommends checking your per-car FFB multiplier in the garage menu after updating, as the revised steering rack geometry on historic touring cars produces stronger natural caster weight in fast corners.

Attacking Curbs With Confidence

In touring car racing, cutting across the inside curb is the only way to rotate a front-wheel-drive car without losing momentum. With today's suspension and tire contact update, you can feel the exact moment the inside wheel lands and gets traction again.
