This version contains the Rockingham race track. Located in Corby, England, Rockingham is an oval track with many infield configurations. 0.6K also contains graphical improvements including new reflections and dynamic environment maps, AI improvements, support for the HTC Vive VR headset (in addition to the Oculus Rift) and fixes.
You will need an S3 license to unlock the Rockingham track. S3 licenses are now available on our website.
