err, tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who go to watch the 24hr races there every year Simon  Shocked, not to mention the thousands who trek across to take their cars on the mystical ring.

Like all historic tracks its not just about the track layout, its all the history, reverence and nostalgia that goes with it.  Cool

Last year's 24H race included about 6 hours in the pits whilst the circuit was shrouded in fog. Like Monaco, an epic place to drive, but the romance and history hide the simple fact that they're appalling places to actually race.

It's become so much of a myth that most of it's reputation is in the myth itself. It's a con. Yes I'm sure it's a great set of back roads for hammering your car round, but racing circuit for fun and exciting racing it is most definitely not.

Hehe

I'm with the Gymer clan.

You can't call either of them a race circuit.

OK for hot lappers with too much spare time on their hands.  Grin

I'm waiting for physics.  Smiley  The driving feeling should be at least as good as GTR2. For me Race doesn't reach as high.  Sad

I'm not impressed by the graphics in those shots and likewise TT I'm anxious to know what the physics will be like. I'm all for fantasy cars (the Koenigsegg) but I will not suffer any fantasy handling and behaviour.

I notice the number plates on the latest screenies have "GTP" above them (or is it on them?). Does this relate to the class name, ie Grand Touring Prototype? A way of getting away from the GT1/2 of the FIA?

It's an addon for RACE 07 so it's going to have RACE 07 physics.

What should I buy then if I want to also compete in the RACE series on here? This or the 'old' RACE 07 game?

Yes, however... I hate to have to say it, but unless there's a sudden massive increase in participation I'd rather return the alternate Tuesday night slot to GTR2after Season 2 has ended as the Race '07 events haven't been well attended.

Who knows what effect GTR Evo will have.

The hands and minds that crafted GTR2 are not the hands and minds behind Race 07 Evo.......... :'(

Its not just the physicis that are not as good in Race 07, but the overall feel, sound and look is not quite as good, sad, especially when one considers the time gap in productions Shocked.
