What is the best name for the RACE Series?

[Bram Hengeveld]

What personally bothers me the most with RACE is that every expansion has a new name and therefor its very confusing what game we are actually playing

RACE 07 is always considered the core, but GTR Evolution is a strong name as well, and in the near future there will be RACE On as a new full game.

What do you think is the best name to describe the core game(s) we are playing?

You can vote in the poll and if you come up with another title that isnt listed please vote "other name" and dump it in this thread

While we all know that Race 07 is the core for the series, the way Simbin puts it, Race 07, STCC - The Game and Race On, integrate into GTR Evo. So, one would assume, that the main title being pushed here, as the big daddy of all Simbin titles is GTR Evo.

iRace STCC On GTR Evolution 07 :dance2:

 

[James Johnson]

GTR Evo.

GTR-E, STCC and RACE ON all need the core Race 07 files to run, its just Simbin bundle the expansions with race 07 so people think that they are all seperate games. RACE 07 is what the series should be called.

thats not true now. since the patch, all the content throughout the series works in any RACE 07 game.
Heres a screenie of race 07. STCC and GTR-E classes and tracks are there:

I know and I am not disputing this, but below is a quote from Simbin themselves.

For current owners of GTR Evolution RACE On is designed to merge and fully integrate with the existing GTR Evolution.

Simbin's wording in the descriptions for STCC and Race On is what I am talking about.

But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. We all know what is meant, regardless of what term is used.

 

[John Bergqvist]

yeh thats fine, i think simbin only said that because GTR Evo is more popular and thats what most people use anyway. i suppose it depends what your favorite colour is in deciding the UI you want to use now lol.

We still need some more votes

Only 69 votes, we need a 100 !

 

[Manuel Spierenburg]

voted GTR Evo. Just like the name more then Race07 etc.
But I also would like "WTCC - The Game" just like "STCC - The Game".

Without any doubt the name from Simbin are confusing.

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Voted for the option 5, other name. I always use just GTR without the evo in the end. Mybe it should be GTR3.. idoknownoanythinganymore..

 

[David Garcia]

My vote goes for RACE.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Ok guys that for the votes. Its been clear that RACE 07 is not your favorite (understatement) the name of the forum will change to GTR Evolution (until a new release will come), which clearly covers more then RACE 07 does.

Thanks all for the votes!!
