GameZone writes: "Whereas the PC has long been the platform for hardcore realistic simulation fans, some of that audience has been chipped away in recent years, especially as far as racing games are concerned. As console fare like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport raise the bar for driving sims, many PC gamers may feel a little left in the dust. However, there are still some great options for PC racing fans, like GTR Evolution from acclaimed developer SimBin. GTR Evolution is the latest driving sim from SimBin, offering PC gamers realistic, physics-intensive racing and a variety of real-world tracks and authentic vehicles".
Simbin has for a long time been a fixture of the sim racing community as the makers of some of the most recognizable racing titles ever made. GTR, GTR2, GT Legends, Race 07 and Raceroom are just some of those games. Recently Simbin has been in the news with rumors of bankruptcy, closing up shop or some form of restructuring. With that going on Shaun Cole of The Simpit was able to sit down via Skype with Jay Ekkel, the licencing manager for Simbin. They talk about the company, its past, its future and a little bit of general sim racing talk.
The company is going through some restructuring there is some great insider stuff in this interview.
SteamFirst: Bundle Stars has the racing themed Turbo Bundle up for $2.99.
SimBin has released another patch for GTR Evolution with quite a lot of new changes. The patch is available for the "online" versions via the Steam client, but info about an "offline" version is still unknown at this time.
