GTR 3

[Steve Worrell]

What!!!!!! Are you kidding me? This is amazing! I called it a couple of months back too. Awesome!

hh. hhh. hhyyyppeee xD

Directly from their site (Simbin UK):
"GTR3 is the latest installment in the critically acclaimed GTR FIA Racing series, coming to PC and next generation consoles. Enter the world of a professional GT racing driver, across the world in Endurance racing championships."

Across the world in endurance isn't the same as World Endurance Championship. Are we sure something didn't get mixed up in translation and people might have misread something?

Certainly as there is nothing that shows up on the internet that brings out this news except RD. Not on FIA WEC, not on Simbin themselves, nothing. Just that little screenshot...1 screenshot.

Yeah, I arrived at the same conclusion. There's very little information to go on, most of which is contradictory.

 

[Steve Worrell]

So simbin won't be doing Blancpain. And we have barely heard a peep from them other than to say GTR 3 is still happening.

Could you imagine if they dropped the WEC bomb? That would be absolutely insane!

Here's hoping anyway.

Just saying!

 

[Jach]

I remembered when it came to RF3 what were we looking forward to, I said official WEC license...
So it seems GTR 3 has done what I've been waiting for since long ago

 

[Nick Gregory]

I'm thinking this will be offical WEC + GT3 cars from around the world.

Then how cool is it to be a member of this site and let Mr Paul bring you good (sim) racing news first!

 

[RobertLidstroem]

AMAZING news! And i actually wrote this a couple of months back when ACC Blancpain was introduced! This is going to be one wild year! On the pro-side, GTR3 probably WONT be Early Access and will be ready when it comes! Sadly i think development of ACC will continue well over a year (yes there is a timetable somewhere, just cant find it)....

 

[ernietheracefan]

GTR is back..!!

Please keep the mod capability..

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

never thought i'd live to see gtr3 come true. amazing

Well yeah, but I find it really weird that neither GTR/Simbin or FIAWEC even mentions this news. Don't you find that just a little bit peculiar certainly when you know just how much doubt there already is with the whole "GTR3" thing?

 

[formidable]

I'm so hyped. If the sim has good physics, assured sale!

The Assetto Corsa: Competizione presentation starts @ 46:25.

Arranging the license is normally one of the first things you do. Given work began before 2017 and release was planned for this year I think there's hope for the WEC 2017. GTR came out in most countries in 2005 and covered the 2003 season. GTR2 came out in 2006 and covered the 2004 season.

I wish they'd make more clear what we should buy exactly. GTR3? RaceRoom? What content will be in one game and not in the other?

Wild guess, maybe R3E will be merged into GTR3?

After being in the sim racing scene for almost all my life now I find nothing peculiar anymore .

But connecting the dots of official and unofficial news, the source in the OP confirms our off the record information which makes it a credible source.

That's not how credibility works though.

 

[Red_Falcon]

YES!!!

Can't wait

 

[amtoms]

Wait.. what did I just read Oo.
I find this even more interesting than ACC
Hopefully, GTR3 will have a rather old graphics engine, cuz my PC is from like 2010

Two sources are enough for us to bring this as news. But as SimBin employees are currently browsing the site and reading this article as well we are happy to be told if we are wrong.
