RaceDepartment have been made aware of an ambitious new project to rekindle the spirit of yesteryear with a return of the fabled GT Legends franchise, bringing a much anticipated sequel to the 2005 hit title some 11 years after its original release.


Simon Lundell is heading up new development team Tiny Feet Studios who aim to bring a second installment of the fabulous game to PC sim racers sometime in the coming years.

Although the project is very much in its infancy at this stage, RaceDepartment have been speaking with the team recently and share the enthusiasm for this project and the prospect of once again recreating the classic age of racing on modern PC simulators around the globe.

Simon is no stranger to GTL as he formed part of the SimBin development team that re-released on Steam classic titles RACE Injection, RaceRoom Racing Experience and its derivatives, GTR, GTR 2 and GT Legends. Leaving SimBin during the Swedish developers bankruptcy struggles in 2013, Simon has been concentrating his efforts on bringing the GT Legends name back into the gaming arena.

Speaking to RaceDepartment Simon had the following to say regarding the future of GT Legends

"Ever since the SimBin bankruptcy I have been working towards the GT Legends rebirth. I finally have all the paperwork in place to let you know of our plans. There are a lot challenges, and a long project, ahead of us but we remain excited and motivated for the challenges ahead and look forward to bringing a game people will love to race "

RaceDepartment are due to sit down with Tiny Feet Studios in the coming weeks and discuss what plans are in store for this new adventure however in the mean time you may have already noticed the freshly restored GTL sub forum (here) has made a return to the main section of our site… please keep an eye out for further news and stories being posted in the coming months as progress develops with this title.

We at RaceDepartment are delighted to see such a wonderful concept coming taking its first steps towards coming back to life with a proposed sequel so long after the original made its debut. We will aim to keep our readers abreast of all the latest news and features as and when they become available.

Excited about the news? Have any burning questions you want to know the answers to when we do our interview? Let us know in the comments section below!
 
Hey @Paul Bennett

Well mate, you stole my thoughts !!!

We did an interview a while back, but it was really too early in the process to put it together and publish anything for you guys to read. Its been a fair bit since it was announced now, and I was literally just thinking to myself how I need to get back in touch with a few people whom I've not spoken to in a while.

So yeah, leave with me and I'll hit up Simon and see what he can share. Hopefully development is far enough along to make an interesting interview (not done one in a while so its about time eh :) ).

Watch this space... :D
 
Im so hoping @Paul Jeffrey that you can top my week even further with some news on GTL. Was this mentioned at your recent visit to Simbin. Are they looking at bringing it home or ok for it to be worked on out of shop per say..
When i read SimBim i only thought of the GTL remake and then wondered....

"Wait, GT2 gets a following title aswell? o.O"

I am more excited abut the GTL one, since the GT cars are present in most of the sims. Having lots of classic cars in a modern sim would be mouthwatering
