FIRST PROMO VIDEO OF RACE 07 UNLEASHED, HIGLIGHTING “CONTENT AND LICENSES”

SimBin Development Team are proud to present the first promotion video of RACE 07. Over 300 cars in 9 different classes and 32 tracks with variations from all over the world assures some great racing on PC when released after this summer.

“This first video is based on what is still to be considered as an early phase of the game but we wanted to show the world the massive amount of content that is included in RACE 07”, says Diego Sartori, Creative Director at SimBin.” With this said I must underline that SimBin will never give in to quantity over quality, with RACE07 SimBin is yet again introducing new classes and new driving styles while at the same time taking car physics, car sounds and track details that one step further”, adds Sartori.

RACE 07 – The WTCC Game will be released worldwide on PC in Q3 2007.

The video looks amazing, and I like a lot the different cars the have added to the game.

What I don´t like are the reverse tracks, I find it OK to an arcade game, but not to RACE. I mean, in real life, tracks are homologated to be raced in one direction, because they are not safe in the wrong way, there are not sand traps, there are walls.

Cheers,

see it as an extra challenge We probably won't use them in a tournament I guess

[Mikkel]

The site is taking a real hammering, speed should improve within the coming hours.

Regarding the reverse tracks I agree that they are not "real", but they can be huge amounts of fun and provide some excellent racing. It adds more longevity and variety to the game. Macau reverse in the lightning quick Radicals will be a real killer

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Wow, smooth...!

Good video, I'm really looking forward to the game right now!

Yes sir, i personally looking forward to the reversed tracks. I dont care if the layout is real or not.. If SimBin makes 200 fantasy tracks and adds it to the game it would be fine by me! (Idea?)

Since the site is still under heavy load, someone upped the low res to YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWO-xyditWQ
Then you can always grab the high res version once the server comes up for air ;)

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

Vara Raceway?
Never heard... but that is even more fun then!

Mikkel do you know/are you allowed to tell if custom addon tracks like in GTR2 will be allowed?

Thanx Mikkel !!

[Mikkel]

If you investigate a little about the SimBin company, you might figure out what Vara raceway is.

I can't say anything about custom tracks, neither positive or negative.
Reason is simple: I have no clue ;)

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Vara is a town in Sweden if I'm right, and since I saw a screen of a (probably swedish) streetcircuit a while ago.. I guess we have a match? ;)

BTW, a Dutch guy who in some way (dunno exactly what way) works for Simbin lives in Vara, Sweden.

No, he lives in Varna Vara is the province and Varna the town i guess!

Now Thats Good news..

[jimmy c]

looking good.....really looking forward to the game & hopefully an early demo... cars & tracks galore.............

[Valentijn Scholten]

finally downloaded the movie, looks good. But I still have the feeling it's a pimped RACE'06. For example 9 categories sounds as a lot, but it looks like this:

WTCC
WTC87
MINI
CATERHAM200
CATERHAM260
CATERHAM320

new:
SPORTSCARS (Radical)
FORMULA BMW
FORMULA 3000

The same goes for the tracks, 32 sounds like a lot, but if you look closely it's more like 15 tracks + 15 more variations of the same trakcs (reverse macau, valencia long, etc, etc).


I'm still looking forward to the game though, I hope the sportscars feel more like GTR/GTR2.

Anyone has more information on this?
