Good news. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Really looking forward to driving Evo in the Racing Club, or maybe even in a league...

[Simon Trendell]

Not sure about the Arcade mode myself, will still be better than GRID though..

I should also credit Beastux @ RSC.

haha, would be nice Gareth it annoys me if i try to make a vid on Race 07... even though its fine when i render it in vegas, its just annoying trying to record at lower FPS.

[Luc Frachon]

I don't know about you guys, but the purist in me is not feeling comfortable about having fantasy cars ("extreme WTCC") and a full arcade mode in a Simbin game...
I think I would have prefered if they left these two features out of the game.

[Simon Trendell]

Some form of comfirmaton from SimBin's own site

SimBin | Award winning game development

Doesn't appear in the navigation yet however.

The game will also include the GP version of the Nürburgring.

[James Johnson]
