Developer SimBin and publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS today announced GTR 2, the successor to the award-winning racing simulation. The game will be released in the summer of 2006.

Come summer 2006, GTR 2 will set new standards all over again! The new DirectX9 graphics engine ensures that the race cars and circuits are portrayed in a more detailed and photorealistic way than ever before, and the sensation of speed experienced with the HP-beasts is even more immersive, thanks to the improved driving model.

The dynamic day-night light cycle, weather changes, and impressive damage system once again provides an impressive experience of the exciting FIA GT racing series on your PC at home.

GTR Review at Games First [24-10-2005 | JZ | Comments (0) ]
Wow, this one came out of left field. GTR: FIA Racing is a simulator built off real telemetry data for FIA GT Racing, and with tracks taken directly from satellite imagery. Let's put it this way, GTR claims to be the most realistic driving simulation out there (have we heard this one before?), but in all honesty, I'm not one to deny that. GTR is an excellent racing simulator. It doesn't do hundreds of choices a la Gran Turismo, car detailing or part buying like in Forza and Need for Speed Underground but you cantune to your heart's content.

GTR Review at Gamezone [23-07-2005 | JZ | Comments (0) ]
The first time I loaded the game up I noticed something that is very different from many of the other games around. Unlike many other racing games on the market, this game allows players to get down and dirty fast, even in the arcade mode. What I mean by this is players will not have to go though a lot of tedious hoops to get the fastest cars; they are available right from the start for the player�s enjoyment.

GTR Review at GameSpy [23-07-2005 | JZ | Comments (0) ]
Like many developers laboring outside the control of large hungry publishers, SimBin enjoys the luxury of not really caring how much "game" it puts in its sim. There are very few concessions to the types of people who would find themselves hooked by Forza, much less the types of people who buy EA's brash Need for Speed games. From the get-go, you have all the cars, all the tracks, and all the classes dumped in your lap. There's no career progression and no sense of owning the cars. If you're looking for a reason to race beyond the simple desire to come in first place, you're in the wrong sim.

Escort Cup Mod for GTR [11-07-2005 | IS | Comments (9) ]
Discover GTR from a totally different angle. We give you the opportunity to go back to the seventies and drive cars with old style slicks, soft suspension and without a rear spoiler to keep things steady. These classics stand for close racing, sliding, drifting and 3-wheeling.

The Escort Cup includes 23 cars converted from our So76 mod, we improved the model and revised the physics. Check the previously released videos to have an idea what it�s like. The mod is less than 20MB large, you open the rar and install it like an addon car.

We made this mod as a preview of our full and original So76 mod for the upcoming rFactor racesim.

GTR Review at Gamespot [02-07-2005 | JZ | Comments (0) ]
And don't think GTR is intended only for those who like to play alone. The game's multiplayer mode permits up to 56 drivers to compete via LAN or Internet--theoretically anyway. In practice, we found stuttering and other frame rate problems when a dozen or more cars were on the track simultaneously, particularly when grouped together.

Escort Cup for GTR - Video [01-07-2005 | IS | Comments (2) ]

GTR Review at Game Chronicles [29-06-2005 | JZ | Comments (0) ]
Simbin attempted to make the game accessible to all race fans when they made GTR, including three separate race modes, Arcade, Semi-Pro, and Simulation. Within Arcade, there are also 4 separate difficulty settings that increase the level of damage, driving assistance, and AI toughness. Arcade mode does away with all those annoying things like pre-race practice sessions, qualifications, etc. Just pick your car, pick your track, and race against a smaller field of opponents in a short race to the finish.
