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

You are kidding i hope?

I think he means money to buy cars and that part of the game wise.

Oh, and this list is basicly what I'd like to see: http://forum.racedepartment.com/pc-racing-games/15517-perfect-racing-sim.html

No guess at all............

If they're going to put in US content, then it should include tracks with proven US interest in them. And the SCCA runs their National Championships for the club racers in the whole of the US in what they call the Runoffs. And they've been at:

Mid-Ohio (SCCA runoffs)
Heartland Park (SCCA runoffs)
Road Atlanta (SCCA runoffs)


And there are other important US tracks like
V.I.R.
Limerock Park
which I would like them to put into RaceOn.

and More:

Tyre Walls in Magny-Cours.

Improved whole paddock. Louder fans cheering during races.

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

i want JGTC cars!!!!!

 

[Adam Vaughan]

A special Buxton Button so when ever he crashes you got a nice slow mo of the whole thing

On a serious note just what others have said. Night racing 24 hour racing etc. Also be cool to have those glow in the dark numbers and internal lights like in propa night races lol.

Another one from me - Regarding Replays - I would like if SIMBIN could make the game ASK at the end of each race A) Would you Like to Save Replay - B) Name of replay.

This would mean that if you just had a boring crappy race you could answer NO and not save the replay - If you had a stonking race with some awesome action in lap 2 you could answer YES and save it as Awesome Lap 2.

Dont know about anyone else but the current system means I end up with loads of nondescript replay files, that take ages to load, let alone watch, and more often than not end up never watched. Ok pressing F12 to get a screenie to remind me of important events helps - but that still relies on me looking at the screenies - taking a note of time/date/race time and then going and finding the corresponding replay - come on SIMBIN your successful despite vast, but relatively easily addressed, gaps in your user interfaces - get down to it get it sorted and start to give Sony a run for their (not so hard) earned money!

Man, I'd love te see:
1) Total dynamic weather (things like fog, like the sun (moon) moving through the sky acording to the hour of the day)
2) Total dynamic track (reacting to the thigs going on on the track, like when stops raining, a dry path starts to become visible)
3) Variety of compounds for each tyre (like hard and soft for dry tyres, rain and intermediate)
4) Better car damage (with impact)
5) Safety car
6) Better online mode (smoother running, with less lags, so the online mode can safely support more than 25 drivers)

Bram, I saw you were tester in STCC, right? Are you still on their roster? If you are, please tell them everything, ok.

Cheers.

Ok, a new topic for everyone to chip in their ideas of what they would like to see added into the new Simbin game "RaceOn" I am not talking about new cars but features that you would want in the game. You never know, Simbin could read this very thread so get your ideas in

Seems unlikely, given a Q2 2009 release that they're at the stage with this where they'd be looking for ideas. Especially not some of the suggestions.

I'd consider the features of the engine are probably going to be pretty much what we already have and know. This will add new cars and tracks to that....

They aren't about to rewrite the engine, unless they already have. Well, my request is, if they really were that daft to try to add anything suggested here in a month or so. Please don't. Don't break what is only broken in fairly insignificant ways at the moment. If you fix some of the existing bugs, fair enough

@Aritan: am i? Can't recall i've tested STCC, must be a mistake then..

 

[João Andias]

I want Gameplay like in Gran Turismo on PlayStation.
Won the money, and buy new cars.
Secret cars for 24 Hours Race, and other hard races.
And big catalogue of cars

:rotfl:

On the same wavelength…

I want the possibility to have a minigun on my rooftop so I can actively transfer some kinetic energy at distance and police in loco all public server "thrashers" & "wreckers" :chuck:

Ok, some emergency buzzer/lights would go nicely too

Can you imagine it? It would be like the "super cop" thing… and the girls in the pit lane? Should I go about them? :in-love:

 

[Aritan Maia]

@Aritan: am i? Can't recall i've tested STCC, must be a mistake then..

I could swear I read your name in the credits!!!! Is your name too common?

 

[William Yunck]

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?????

Ooooh Kimber,
If you are going to call yourself and Amarican instead of an American, then don't you mean you are from Kalifornia and not California? :laugh2:

Sorry couldn't resist....

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Can we return to the subject RACE On instead of making this a spelling forum ?

 

[Mikkow]

It has International Formula Meister. Now, question is, is it season 08, meaning no new tracks with it, or season 09, with Hungaroring and the Belgian Spa(m)? There's only something like 5 new tracks we haven't seen in the other expansions. We guess 2 will certainly be american tracks from Race Pro.. Then three more to go. Two could be Spa + Hungaro for IFM, and the last could be yet another American?

 

[William Yunck]

Can we return to the subject RACE On instead of making this a spelling forum ?

Damn it, foiled again, ok you win, Race On it is. I think the new content will be great, although some new tracks would be fun I am interested in the new cars too. I mostly want to drive the Lada though.

 

[Max-Yvan Liegrace]

WTCC Song in menu will be superb upgrade

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

I want Gameplay like in Gran Turismo on PlayStation.
Won the money, and buy new cars.

If you really want that, buy GT Legends. :rotfl: Its career mode is much the same, if I am correct.

 

[Dave Stephenson]

Correct. You unlock events, cars etc as you go through earning credits.

 

[Jon Trotter]

I hope they sort the graphics out on Porto - Once I get through the chicane on the first lap it seems to run fine to me - but its luck if I get through it in one piece on the first lap.
