The Pit Lane is Open!

Darmstadt (Germany), July 21st 2006. Developer Simbin Development Team AB and Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS cut the time racing fans have to wait for the sequel to their award-winning racing simulation. Today they drop the green flag on test drives and present the official „GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game“ demo for exclusive download on gamespot.com and their game website, gtr-game.com!
Players can already experience the totality of the powerful DirectX9 Graphics Engine enabled dynamic day/night changes, spectacular crashes and changing weather conditions.

Both beginners and pros can test themselves against 14 virtual drivers based on the unique artificial intelligence. In the demo players can choose between two teams with truly hot machines for the world-famous Barcelona Grand Prix course: the Team G.P.S. Giesse Squadra Corse with its Ferrari F575 and the Team DAMS with its Lamborghini Murciélago. With the introduction of the new Time-Trial Mode nothing stands in the way of the first multiplayer contests. In this mode players can easily save their laps and post the file on the Internet for comparison with other drivers.
„GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game“ is the official simulation of the FIA GT Racing Championship. More than 140 highly-detailed race cars, a choice of 34 different track designs, breathtaking graphics and outstanding physics provide incredible variety in the race for the championship.
