I hope Steam will be kept! I now experience with the distribution of ARCA (no offense) how handy Steam is..

True, would be a good move from TSF to distribute Arca through Steam as well...

No way GTR2 like physics! I only swallow sims and thats why GTR2 is still dusting in my closet, although mods and the Nap Mod save that game a bit.
I'm sure simbin wont make same "mistake" anymore.... Unless this is just money collection game.

600bhp on the WTCC Extreme cars will almost be equal to the F550 in GTR2. Very curious what other cars will be released. Anyone spotted a carlist somewhere?

[Michael Herrmann]

A New Generation of Realism has Evolved
'GTR Evolution' for PC from Viva Media and SimBin Delivers Horsepower-Heavy GT and WTCC Extreme Cars, plus Germany's Notorious Nordschleife Circuit
Viva Media and SimBin is back with GT cars and this time they will let you experience some hair-raising 14 miles of racing at the legendary N�rburgring Nordschleife track.
Viva Media announces today it’s partnership with SimBin Studios in the forthcoming release of GTR Evolution. Developed by the award winning Swedish studio SimBin Development Team and published by Viva Media, GTR Evolution takes GT and WTCC Extreme cars to the legendary Nordschleife, the holy grail of racing. Available as a stand alone game and also as an expansion pack for Viva Media’s 2007 title Race 07, GTR Evolution is scheduled for launch in Q3 2008.
In GTR Evolution gamers will experience the modern version of the monumental track of N�rburgring Nordschleife along with the N�rburgring GP layout. Infamous for its incredible difficulty, the track is revered and feared as the most treacherous track ever built.
Viva Media CEO Carlo Voelker commented that, “PC Racing fans will be thrilled with extremely high standard of quality they will experience with this game. The bar for racing simulations has been pushed even higher by Simbin with this latest game in the GTR franchise.” He continued, “Also featured will be GT series cars like the Corvette C6R and Aston Martin DBR9; plus Production Car Class racers like the Dodge Viper SRT/10 and the Audi R8.”
GTR Evolution for PC comes with 22 GT car models in 3 different classes plus a selection of exclusive production cars. Beyond this SimBin adds WTCC Extreme; tuned concept cars based on the FIA WTCC cars.
“With rear wheel drive, extended body-kits and over 600hp the WTCC Extreme cars will give the GT cars a run for their money” said Diego Sartori, Creative Director at SimBin Studios AB.
GTR Evolution will be available as a stand alone game including all RACE 07 content, all in all 49 unique cars in 12 classes with over 500 variations and 19 tracks in over 40 different layouts including the new and legendary N�rburgring Nordschleife. A GTR Evolution expansion pack for existing owners of RACE 07 will also be available.
“This is the biggest game ever from SimBin and a must have for all gamers and we hope that GTR Evolution will satisfy all race fans since it is packed with a broad variety of cars and new features that should attract the gamer that wants to have it all in one high quality game” says Henrik Roos, CEO of the SimBin Group of companies.
Scheduled for launch in 2008, GTR Evolution is being distributed by Viva Media in the US, Atari in Europe, and Akella in Russia. The release is set for 2008 with detailed info to follow.

Now we at least know some of the cars from this VivaMedia press release

[Jacco Cornelissen]

It also says Q3 2008 release.

[wolfracer]

I'm interested to know what the production cars will be. They say 49 unique cars, minus the 22 GT cars, minus all the current cars in RACE 07 and you're only left with a few production cars. I'd love to drive a simbin designed SRT10 Viper around a simbin designed nurb. Sure, I've driven that combination in other sims, but to have a simbin recreated experience would be nice.

[Eck Simpson]

Is that an ingame shot, above?. If so, what is the track?.

Its not the Nurburgring start straight, or its missing all the grandstands n hotel, on the outside...

It looks like Sebring, if its a real world shot then it probably is Sebring, as the car is the ALMS entry.

no, its a real picture ;-)

[Rob Prange]

Four new screenshots available!

Sadly its all fantasy cars so far...and nothing on the Nordschleife yet.

[James Johnson]

The Corvette Skin in First one Looks Much Like a Gigawave MotorSports Scheme And the 2nd one is a Gigawave Scheme as it has the Gigawave Motorsport Logo. But i dunno if Gigawave Motorsport have A Corvette >.>

[Rob Prange]

I just noticed that one of the Astons sports a Cannonball Run logo so maybe some livery ideas came from there too.

[Bram Hengeveld]

Where do you get those screenshots from Montoya?

[Rob Prange]

Like mentioned in the text they´re from Worthplaying.com, they have their watermark on too.

No idea if they got their hands on a beta or if those a Simbin PR-screens.... I think the latter is more likely.

[Erik Åhlen]

According to a Swedish gaming site the release date is June 20.

[Rob Prange]

Yep 20th of June looks to be confirmed.

MNW? Either the author don't have a clue about cars or SimBin don't have licenses for all cars :/
