VRC Pro striving for ultimate realism

In the quest for the ultimate in realism VRC have announced that they have taken every step necessary to ensure the long awaited release of VRC Pro will feature the latest technologies across all classes. This is especially relevant for electric touring cars, which when modeling for the game started nearly 4 years ago all cars in this class were running NiMh batteries and brushed motors. The cars that will be used in the game will of course feature the now standard LiPo cells and brushless motors. From a physics point of view there are only small differences between NiMh and LiPo but they still need to do more research on the discharge curves. With the brushless motors however more work has to be done on the speed controllers with the variable timing and how timing affects heat build-up on the motor. We hear that the game is close to completion and will go in to the Alpha test phase next month with the goal being for a full release in January.
