Unfortunatelly Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche and Lamborghini are out of GTR Evo. Too bad for me. I love the NGT´s. But what is NGT´s without Ferraris and Porsches?

I´ll buy it anyway...

Good News!

I wallpapered the screenshot of the Karussell and have placed it on my desktop. This shot is just unbelievably good. Check the writings on the tarmac! Senna is back!

[Ross Balfour]

I really hope they make a custom Car filter where you can pick what cars, not just what classes.

[Denis Vorobjov]

Who is it? You knows ;)

Wow, see all this stuff:

Q: How does the pitstops work?
A: Pitstops are reworked, you can plan strategy before the race and also make changes during the race while on track.
Q: I'm going into pits, the pitmenu pops up, what now?
A: If you had preset and are happy with the actions marked with green colour, just push the button mapped for "menu select" to confirm actions. If you didn't have preset you have to do the changes you want manually, very important is that only the actions marked with green colour will be performed.
Q: How can I know what damaged parts needs fixing?
A: The pitmenu is usefull with this too, damaged parts are marked with red colour in the pitmenu.
Q: I received stop/go penalty but fuel is running out, can the penalty be served later?
A: Yes, there is "postpone stop/go" option in the pitmenu, confirm this and you can perform normal pitstop instead of stop/go. Remember that the stop/go must be served inside 3 laps you got it, otherwise you will be black flagged.
Q: I dont have control of the car in pitlane, why is that?
A: There is autopit on/off option in main menu game settings, and in garage realism settings. This is enabled by default and its active in all the sessions including offline practice. You can disable it and have full control off the car in the pitlane.
Q: What are pitmenu presets for?
A: With presets you can decide how much fuel you want, change tires or not, fix damage or not before the race. Presets are class specified so you can use saved presets with all the cars in the same class.
Q: Why does the pitmenu have "pit in request" instead of "confirm" button when called while on track?
A: This is usefull option to give the pits a heads up you are about to come in, confirm the request and you will see "pit in" icon. Requested pitstops are also slighty faster compared to unrequested stops.
Q: Is the fuel amount chosen in preset/pitmenu added to the tank or the amount you have left in tank after the stop?
A: The amount chosen will be added to what was in tank before enterting pits.

[Patrick van Driel]

Very curious how it will look and handle. Great thing is we can finally send setups ingame.

[Grant Daly]

Y@Y Truly a thing of Beauty...

Pity tho about the NGT part ie: Porsche and Ferrari? Strange that don't you all think?

But maybe we'll be able to grab some from GTR2, and Mod them who knows?

I Know this tho I Can Not Wait ! ! ! ! !
Gimme Gimme Gimme....
