RACE On announced

[Trebor901]

The next scheduled release, RACE On will target all PC owners with a bit of petrol in their blood and comes with a very strong selection of new challenging content including the tracks and cars from WTCC season 2008 which turned out to be the best and most competitive championship ever. SimBin has recreated the epic 2008 season down to the smallest detail and now YOU get the chance to show the world who the real champion is. Jump in the car of your favorite racing driver and compete with the best through 12 unique tracks located around the globe including Okayama.

Race On also marks a new focus from SimBin with the inclusion of iconic Detroit Muscle cars suited for those who like to lay down lots of rubber power sliding out of corners on the rev limiter. Enough torque to drag the moon off orbit, full opposite lock and a big grin on your face.

To finish the new lineup SimBin brings you Formula Masters, a top of the line open wheel series, offering you even more speed and action than ever before. Extreme cornering speeds and simulated g-forces make this a true driver’s car.

But RACE On is not just new cars, it also features brand new American tracks in SimBin quality and it comes with a hefty update of existing tracks to 2008 standard. With RACE ON comes 5 brand new tracks all recreated down to minute detail.

As a bonus the game also includes the complete “STCC The Game” (The Swedish Touring Car Championship) which has previously only been released in retail stores in the Nordic territory and Russia. The tight and technical Scandinavian circuits and the wide variety of touring cars running in the series have already created a large following so SimBin is happy to be able to offer this package to the rest of the world including 7 Nordic tracks and 6 unique car models.

About RACE On
RACE On includes the following new content:

* 16 unique car models in 8 classes with over 140 variations.
* 12 tracks of which several never has been released by SimBin on PC.

RACE On will be available as a stand alone game including all RACE 07 content and an expansion pack for existing owners of RACE 07 will also be available.

All in all this makes up for:

* 39 unique car models in 17 classes with over 450 variations.
* 30 tracks and 17 alternate layouts, in total 47 tracks.

For current owners of GTR Evolution RACE On is designed to merge and fully integrate with the existing GTR Evolution. RACE On is scheduled for release in Q2 2009

Its already been posted but I'll reiterate-

More than 25 cars!
Night racing!
More tracks!

 

[Max-Yvan Liegrace]

More Changeable weather (clouds and this stuff)
Active Safety Car
Improved Cutting rules on Imola and Monza

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

What will the muscle car racing contain?

Not announced in the latest press-release, just that it will contain US muscle

 

[Jamie Ralfs]

#1 Active Safety Car!
#2 Maybe slightly better physics on car to car impacts

 

[Jon Trotter]

Melco hairpin at Macau fixed, and the AI more aggressive into the pits at Macau - they are about 9 seconds slower than they should be as they brake halfway down the straight from Fisherman's bend

 

[Alen Pecanin]

1. safety car
2. night races
3. more variation on the exaust sound

 

[Michael Herrmann]

more track slots ( 50 would be cool)

@Ross FOV = Field of View

 

[Adrian Lazarescu]

For me:
1. better AI
2. 24H racing
3. driver filter
4. safety car

 

[RaceFreak]

Well we dont have any new Car yet except of 6, so i really dont think they get managed to get the 2009 season, so it´s 2008 is say!

 

[Ross Balfour]

guys if something has already been mentioned dont mention it again

 

[John Bergqvist]

not sure if ppl have said this, but proper flag rules (i.e. giving you a penalty for over-taking under yellows), visible pit crews, a.i. less good at getting back on track after a spin/crash, and short red flag periods i.e. big accident and race gets stopped for 10 mins?

 

[Florian Goubaud]

so cool!!!!

 

[Jamie Ralfs]

Also I've just though of another reason(s):

#2 Tyre roar a bit louder - It is too quiet for my liking, I like to hear nice and loud when my wheels lock or when I'm riding the kerbs.
#3 In replay, make the engines a bit louder too - When in TV view, you cannot hear any car engine noise until you are literally metres away from the car in view

Thanks Ross

 

[Philip Grimm]

This needs to come out I want stcc, but I dont want to pay 20 for it now.

 

[Jon Trotter]

More control over reversible grids. For example - a feature so that you can do a BTCC style 6 - 10 randomised reverse grid, to make it more interesting.

 

[Mark Birney]

Wahay, like the sound of that So long as it has a mustang, I'll be happy.

I'd imagine it would be along the lines of the US Muscle Cars in Race Driver GRID.

 

[Matthew Hardwick]

Proper support for community mods! Remove the ridiculous modelID limitation. Even dial up connections wont die by sending a few text strings to represent the cars instead of numbers.
Info on what ModelIDs are at nogripracing.com: http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34808
Come on, rFactor doesn't have this problem. Not even GTR2...

Fixes for old bugs like all the other cars being invisible at the start of an MP race and the other online bugs. I've seen much more complex online games without these silly network issues. I don't know if the latest patch fixed them, but I guess it's not likely.

Cough*handbrake*cough.

To end my scattered thoughts let me say I can see the reason that this game cost nearly three times as much in Europe and elsewhere. Most people in the U.S. are in love with cars going straight really fast or in circles in tight packs. Roadracing isn't as big or televised as much. It really is a shame.

Yes, you're right. I'd say folk that want the stuff you suggest many Americans do will be more than catered for by home grown talent that live and breath those sports. And if they aren't, then it doesn't suppose there can be that big a market for them in the first place.

I think Simbin's main asset is their experience of being European (kinda easy to do if you are one ) and actual race experience and data.

What Simbin really need is polish (as in rub-a-dub-dub, not something that's from Poland ) that'd sell more games in the USA and elsewhere than any specific car or track they add, imo.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Nice theory So because you guys like to drive straight nascar like races all stuff is cheaper:
- cars
- food
- electronics
- houses
- games
- software
- hardware
- etc

I want to become a NASCAR fan too, then my life would be much cheaper

Sorry for the little rant :focus:

 

[Kimber Jansen]

I'm an AMARICAN. I'm in CALIFORNIA. So I am as amarican as you can get. "from your prospective" I hate NASCAR. LOL. F1 is the tops for me.:worship:

Now that thats over.....


No one here knows what amarican cars are coming with RACE ON?????
