Weather Forecast: Heavy Rain in “GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game”
Developer Simbin Development Team and Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS have disclosed six fresh screenshots of the new racing simulation “GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game”.The latest progress in the development of the weather system is depicted. Long jets of water, spectacular reflections on wet tarmac and an upgraded “Live Track Technology” with different self-drying track sections create a realistic race feeling in GTR 2 even with bad weather. Darkness also has its charms, the impressive play of light of the dynamic day and night change even makes long distance races a thrill.
