Netkar Pro Version 1.1 Released

Good news for all sim fans, the most underrated sim racing experience is back with a whole host of improvements. The update which has been under development for some time aims to improve the multiplayer experience and is the final version in a 3-part beta.

From initial tests the whole experience is a huge step up with a much more stable multiplayer experience, more options in replays (still stuck at 30 fps grrrrr), improved physics and a Track Editor! Hopefully the track editor will encourage some of the well known track makers to take a look.

The latest instalment of Stefano ‘Kunos’ Casillo’s masterpiece, NetKar Pro 1.1 is available for download now and is fully worth the 19.90 Euros. Go here to check it out or download a demo.
