Electric cars are a growing part of sim racing just as in the real world of motorsport. And both cases are evolving in parallel. One example is the rFactor 2 RCCO eX ZERo 2021 Update 1.33 released by Studio 397 for the concept car developed with former DTM champion Mike Rockenfeller.
One of the big changes is that the car will now have energy regeneration under braking, which will mean adjusting how you drive and manage your power levels throughout races.
It also gets more slipstream effect and producdes less dirty air, which should encourage more overtaking in series such as the upcoming RCCO World eX Championship, which starts on March 11th, 2021.
