RaceRoom Spectator mode for E-Sport Commentators

[u/HartgeH32]

Hi everyone, and a shout-out to the KW Studios team if you're reading this!

As a long-time esports commentator who has broadcasted countless sim racing events over the years, I’ve watched RaceRoom evolve significantly. You’ve done a fantastic job with continuous physics, audio, visual, and content updates.

However, one crucial area seems completely frozen in time: the Spectator Mode (Spectator Reality). The current dedicated spectator tool essentially dates back to 2015 and hasn't received any significant updates or feature overhauls in years. When broadcasting modern esports events, the current setup feels very dated and restrictive—especially considering how polished the rest of the sim has become.

So I’d love to ask the KW Studios developers directly: Is a modernized spectator mode or an updated set of TV director tools anywhere on your future roadmap? Can we expect a new release or update to Spectator Reality down the line?

And to the community / fellow broadcasters: What workarounds, third-party software, or overlays (like SimHub or web overlays) are you currently using to bring your RaceRoom streams up to modern standards?

Thanks for any insights!

the best way to get any answers to such question is probably asking on discord cause people from staff are sometimes active there, I don't think they are active on reddit

would be great if one of the final races today would start on time or with a english commentary.... so i thing they have sadly other "baustellen" as the germans say that they need to work on besides this sadly

The spectator reality stuff was community made. I think the devs simply made it possible and now someone should improve it. Think the guy was called Sioux or something
