SimBin has released some of the best racing sim games of the last year so we always take notice when they make an announcement.  Today the company announced that they are working on RACE On, a new PC sim that will allow you to race through 12 tracks from around the works and will include the ability for you to drive American muscle cars (something that's new to SimBin) as well as the open wheeled Formular cars that's been their bread and butter.  The game is slated for a Q2 2009 release so Dave won't have too long to wait until the game comes out. 

Following RACE Pro for Xbox 360 it is now time for a new PC release with RACE On from
SimBin Development Team, multiple award winning Swedish game studio.



The next scheduled release, RACE On will target all PC owners with a bit of petrol in their blood and
comes with a very strong selection of new challenging content including the tracks and cars from
WTCC season 2008 which turned out to be the best and most competitive championship ever.
SimBin has recreated the epic 2008 season down to the smallest detail and now YOU get the
chance to show the world who the real champion is.
Jump in the car of your favorite racing driver and compete with the best through 12 unique tracks
located around the globe including Okayama.



Race On also marks a new focus from SimBin with the inclusion of iconic Detroit Muscle cars suited for
those who like to lay down lots of rubber power sliding out of corners on the rev limiter.
Enough torque to drag the moon off orbit, full opposite lock and a big grin on your face.



To finish the new lineup SimBin brings you Formula Masters, a top of the line open wheel series,
offering you even more speed and action than ever before.
Extreme cornering speeds and simulated g-forces make this a true driver’s car.



But RACE On is not just new cars, it also features brand new American tracks in SimBin quality and
it comes with a hefty update of existing tracks to 2008 standard.
With RACE On comes 5 brand new tracks all recreated down to minute detail.



As a bonus the game also includes the complete “STCC The Game” (The Swedish Touring Car Championship)
which has previously only been released in retail stores in the Nordic territory and Russia.
The tight and technical Scandinavian circuits and the wide variety of touring cars running in the series
have already created a large following so SimBin is happy to be able to offer this package
to the rest of the world including 7 Nordic tracks and 6 unique car models.



“We are proud to continually deliver new quality content and at the same time upgrade and refine
the gaming experience for owners of our previous titles. We are dedicated to our fans and
customers and committed to bring them the best we can offer at a competitive price,
and with RACE On we feel we have hit the mark once again”, said Henrik Roos, CEO at SimBin Studios.



“With the large number of communities worldwide using our games in their league racing we want to
make sure that we offer new challenging content that will appeal to both current and new gamers.
By building on existing titles we allow communities to expand and improve their leagues
while retaining a stable base” said Mikkel Gram-Hansen, Community Manager at SimBin Studios.
