With the release of GTR – FIA GT Racing Game, Developer SimBin Development Team and Publisher 10tacle Studios AG caused a sensation. Up to that point, there had never been a racing simulation based on a racing series which was accurate down to the last detail, as the numerous top ratings and awards for GTR FIA GT Racing Game so impressively demonstrated. 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.
In other words – we are proud to offer the opportunity to really get into the true feeling of real racing in some of the world´s most stunning sport cars. Prepare to GET REAL – again.
GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game is a sports car racing simulator developed by Blimey! Games and SimBin Studios for PC and is a sequel to GTR. The game simulates the 2003 and 2004 FIA GT Championship racing series. It uses Image Space Incorporated’s rFactor engine as a codebase.
