Atari Germany has confirmed that the release date of Simbin's GTR Evolution will be on August 14th 2008. It is certain that fans in Germany will be able to get the game on that day, and is also expected that the rest of Europe will get it on that same day as well.
Simbin has for a long time been a fixture of the sim racing community as the makers of some of the most recognizable racing titles ever made. GTR, GTR2, GT Legends, Race 07 and Raceroom are just some of those games. Recently Simbin has been in the news with rumors of bankruptcy, closing up shop or some form of restructuring. With that going on Shaun Cole of The Simpit was able to sit down via Skype with Jay Ekkel, the licencing manager for Simbin. They talk about the company, its past, its future and a little bit of general sim racing talk.
The company is going through some restructuring there is some great insider stuff in this interview.
SteamFirst: Bundle Stars has the racing themed Turbo Bundle up for $2.99.
SimBin has released another patch for GTR Evolution with quite a lot of new changes. The patch is available for the "online" versions via the Steam client, but info about an "offline" version is still unknown at this time.
