I like to consider myself a racing fan, with the bragging right that about one third of my video game collection is filled with racing titles. GRID was too much even for me; it was just tooooo realistic in both handling and damage.
The racing community needed a game like GRID; just because not everyone is a racing expert, it does not mean that the programmers should ignore that racing group, but for people like me, who enjoy realism but only to a certain degree, a new title such as GTR Evolution brings new hope to my heart and lessens my bank account by twenty dollars. Hmm… A twenty dollar racing game! But could it be any good?"
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.
