iRacing and RUF have officially entered into a partnership and the RUF Rt 12 R is more than likely the next car to be coming to the sim racing service. Steve Myers, executive vice president at iRacing, twittered a final clue featuring a picture of a RUF Rt 12 R in front of the RUF Automobile GmbH building. His tweet simply stated ”Ok you guys owe me 60. Last clue for the newest iRacing partner and car we will build.”
Snerdaperds attempts to coin a new term, Sim-phoria. He states,“a game or activity that simulates a real-life activity in such a way that it is inherently more engaging and fun than the actual activity that it is supposedly simulating through arcadification.” He continues, refining the term, and talking about Super Mega Baseball 2, and other games that fit the description.
Higher Eclectic Ground goes back in time to track how a pair of British IRacing enthusiasts went onto create the first, most intricately designed Sim-Racing Touring Car championship in Europe.
Steve Myers of iRacing.com revealed that the company has signed two new license deals. There were already some hints a few months back and today the long wait is finally over as the NGTC Honda Civic from the British Touring Car Championship and the Honda HSV-010 GT from the Japanese Super GT series are coming to the simulation.
Porsche exclusive deal with EA is pretty ridiculous, good thing RUF can license some of their beasts with others companies.
