"Let it out my fellow gamer, let it out. Scream at the top of your lungs. GTR Evolution is one of those games. If you keep your frustration bottled up, you'll end up going postal on your street. This is a game for those that scoff at Burnout's damage obsessed antics, laugh at the arcade drifting in GRiD and complain that Top Gear is all about the entertainment. Yes you! You own a replica steering wheel with peddles and gearbox. You'd buy a life-sized model of the latest Ferrari to sit in while playing your racing titles. From SimBin, GTR Evolution is the follow-up, stand-alone expansion for the WTCC title Race 07. It's PC only and it's hoping to be answer to Gran Turismo or Forza. Race 07 pipped the only other notable title, rFactor at the post but does GTR open up the lead enough to warrant a purchase or should you stick with Race 07?"
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.
