Built for the Alpine Europa Cup, this purpose-built customer race car delivers: - 1.8 L 4-cylinder - 280 hp - 6-speed paddle shift - 1135 kg race weight with driver - Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout Lightweight and agile, the A110 Cup focuses on mechanical grip and clean driving technique. It rewards precision and momentum rather than aggression. It is an ideal platform for close spec racing and driver development. --- ##### **Alpine A110 GT4+** The Alpine A110 GT4+ represents Alpine’s international customer racing platform built to GT4 regulations. Key characteristics: - 340 hp - 6-speed paddle shift - Racing limited-slip differential - Full GT4 aero package with rear wing and splitter - 1255 kg with driver Compared to the Cup car, the GT4+ adds aerodynamic sensitivity and setup depth. It competes directly against established GT4 machinery and is suited for both sprint and endurance formats. --- ##### **NXT Gen Cup – LRT NXT1** The LRT NXT1 is the world’s first fully electric junior touring race car used in a single-make championship. Developed and built by Lestrup Racing Team and based on the electric MINI Cooper SE platform, it features: - 100 percent electric FWD drivetrain - 226 hp - Push-to-pass boost of +60 hp - Top speed limited to 180 km/h - 1233 kg with driver Designed for flat-out 15 to 20 minute sprint races with no power drop, the NXT1 focuses on equal performance and driver development. It also marks an important milestone for RaceRoom. The NXT1 is the first car fully recreated using physics-based rendering materials inside and out. This allows surfaces such as paint, carbon fiber, plastics and metals to react to light in a far more natural way, delivering a level of visual realism that significantly raises the bar for vehicle production in RaceRoom. It features a newly replicated real-world data dashboard and was developed in close partnership with LRT using detailed handling feedback and valuable real-world data throughout development. This represents a step forward in both visual fidelity and vehicle production standards. The NXT1 also features authentic race electronics implemented according to the official **NXT Gen Cup rulebook**, including **Push-to-Pass** and a **launch mode**. Push-to-Pass allows drivers to temporarily unlock additional power for overtaking, but it must first be armed before it can be activated after a short delay, preventing instant use in wheel-to-wheel situations. The same steering-wheel button is also used for **launch mode **at the start, allowing drivers to quickly bring the car up to the optimal power level for a strong and consistent launch off the line. Press the button once to arm the system. After a five-second delay it becomes ready, and you then have a five-second window to press it again to activate the boost. If the second press does not happen within that window, the activation is still counted as used. Each session allows only two uses, so timing it correctly is key. --- ##### **Two New Italian Circuits** ##### **Vallelunga – Autodromo Piero Taruffi** Located approximately 30 km north of Rome, Vallelunga is a 4.085 km technical circuit known for rhythm and precision. - 15 corners - Clockwise layout - Opened in 1951 Vallelunga rewards clean inputs and momentum driving. The fast Curva Grande demands commitment, while the tight Campagnano hairpin puts focus on traction and exit speed. It is a circuit where consistency often beats aggression. --- ##### **Adria Raceway – 2003 & 20 _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/211500/view/517489783702816568]_
