Blimey! Games
Formed from a split with SIMBIN when Ian Bell formed his second company, they didn’t last long and ultimately Ian Bell’s third company, Slightly Mad Studios, acquired the assets.
A free-to-play simulation from Blimey! Games (creators of GTR, GTR2, GT Legends and what went on to become Slightly Mad Studios), originally available directly from BMW.
It was brought about as an advertising venture by German automotive company Bayer Motoren Werke (BMW) and early SIMBIN/Blimey publisher 10tacle Studios, and is based on the isiMotor (rFactor) engine.
