MOTORSPORT: Looking ahead, more transparency and new roadmap

(MST/Speedmaniacs.de) – After the latest news about RENNSPORT from last week have likely been digested by now, developer Competition Company returns on the last day of April 2026 with a clear mission statement.

Accordingly, they have spent the last few weeks intensively dealing with feedback and extracted from it that reliability is at the top of the list for players. While in the past, driven by a fundamentally positive, optimistic outlook, things were promised that ultimately could not be kept, they now want to ensure more transparency and refrain from making promises.

The target group of RENNSPORT are, according to their own statements, players who would be described as disciplined drivers who appreciate pushing a vehicle to the limit and prefer perfectly executed overtaking maneuvers. Of course, they are also aware of the fact that everyone started small once.

Graphics will soon appear sharper and more realistic

They want to appeal to competitive petrolheads with the single-player championships, while giving racing beginners the tools to refine their skills and feel welcome in the paddock. “RENNSPORT is meant to be a place where every driver can develop from their first lap to their first podium,” they share.

For the update and expansion “Endurance Classics Part 1,” initially scheduled for March, then postponed to April, and finally to May, they have revised the graphics: “Nights now appear deeper and more atmospheric. Sunsets have a more cinematic effect, and refined adjustments to motion blur provide a more authentic sense of speed at the limit.

By improving our color grading and adding nuanced lens effects, we move away from a clinical look and instead create a more immersive and realistic experience,” they illustrate along with the 25-second The Aesthetics Performance video, which offers a before-and-after comparison of the changes.

Cars, vehicle designs, May as the month that matters and beyond

To meet players’ desire for more variety, there will be a large selection of new vehicle designs alongside the new graphics, which will be free for all players. In the first wave, 9 official OEM designs for the Porsche 911 GT3 R racing sport, 6 distinctive customer racing designs for the BMW M2 CSR, the Audi Sport design plus for the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, the official reveal design for the Mercedes-AMG GT3 2020, and the customer racing design for the Hyundai Elantra N TCR will be provided.

These are the first of many expansions. More are planned with the May release. After the release of the expansion “Endurance Classics Part 1” (scheduled for May 2026), the tracks WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Sebring International Raceway, and the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport will follow.

In summer, there will be an update with the Hockenheim Classic track, several vehicles, track mods, and additional features. Two updates are planned for autumn, each expanding the track and vehicle selection. The second batch of additional game content will follow with the winter update.

“…we give the feedback from our players the highest priority”

Finally, they address everyone who continues to stay loyal to RENNSPORT with the following words: “There is new energy in the RENNSPORT team. We have taken full responsibility for the path traveled so far and now choose the consistent precision of an endurance racer instead of the noise of short-term hype waves.

With the outlined plans and other important improvements to the game that you have wished for, we give the feedback from our players the highest priority. Our top goal is a stable, high-quality platform that respects your time. We commit long-term and are grateful that you accompany us.

We will announce the exact date for the update planned for May as soon as our technical checks are completed. Thank you for continuing to stay loyal to us.”
