    Gtr - Evolution

    just a quick word on this game. its BRILLIANT. if you have a wheel there is no game that touches it. i replayed gtr2 shortly after buying and playing evo for a few hours straight. huge improvements in the menus, especially the set ups. the multiplayer server options are improved. it sadly uses steam, which slows loading down slightly, but does help with finding servers, and the stability of multiplayer connections compared to gtr2.

    the graphics are improved slightly. still not as bling as GT5 (even though i am still to be convinced that GT5 is really that pretty in game. no arguing that its stunning in replay mode) but the graphics are very efficient in what they do. and most cards should be able to easily hold a vsync with high settings.

    driving is improved over gtr2. cars feel more 'real' and the feedback with a wheel is excellent. the only game to match and perhaps better this game with physics is rfactor. however this game looks old, and is an absolute pain in the arse by comparison with multiplay set up etc.

    on a side note, the hdr plugin that is compatible does improve the atmosphere of the races, and does improve looks. after a lot of playing with the .ini i got some decent results while still holding vsync.

    here are some links to some shots. motion blur and depth of field are enabled, but not a silly amount.

    It looks pretty good, though the graphics are getting a little dated...
    I'm hoping to get it soon maybe

The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."

    Man...I thought they got rid of these?


    Why? Why do this to paying customers? Really? You treat us like pirates?

    racesimcentral looks like the largest community I've come across....most G25 users immidiately noticed how the tracks for the Nurburgring differ...some claims they actually smoothen the actual track...some say, its the actual config of G25....but the graphics between game is immidiate...NOT Crysis bling but the experience is different...given its price for an $19 add-on for a $9 Race07...seems a win given these new games cost $60 initially...

    here's a funny vid I started to get your juice flowing

    I have done a few laps and I have to say that Nordschleife is easier to drive in EVO then it used to be in the original (add-on track) GTR2.

    The EVO version has less height differences, making a lot of corners easier to take. It's still good fun to drive though, with the new graphics the track seems totally different.

    Those graphics look like something from the 90s.

    Could someone tell me what I need to install tomorrow.

    I already have RACE WTCC - 06.

    Apparently I need to pick up RACE 07 to play GTR Evolution.

    If I order 07 & Evo, I don't need to install the old RACE WTCC? Will RACE 07 have that included in it anyway
