Season 3 Tracks
The new Season 3 tracks will be divided into three categories: all-new, rescanned and remodeled, and refreshed and upgraded.

This 7.77km track features seven racing configurations, including the full GT Circuit, making it the second-longest permanent race track in the world.
The rescanned and remodeled tracks are those that have undergone significant changes in the real world, such as repaving or changes to the driving surface. These tracks will be updated with new driving surfaces, artwork, and scenery, and will be available as a free update for existing track owners.
The refreshed and upgraded tracks are a category of update that has been accelerated in recent years. These tracks have been recreated using current tooling and quality standards, and will include examples such as Okayama, Road Atlanta, and most recently, New Hampshire, Bristol, Darlington, Dover, Homestead, Kansas, and Las Vegas.
Season 3 Cars
Season 3 will feature three all-new racecars, including the visually stunning and thrilling-to-drive Ferrari 296 Challenge. This single-make series customer racing car is one of the fastest ever, weighing just 1495 kg and producing 700 hp with 870 kg of downforce at 250 km/h.
Additionally, comprehensive physics model overhauls will be applied to three existing car classes, ensuring that the racing experience is more realistic and immersive than ever before.
