Viva Media and SimBin is back with GT cars and

Viva Media announces today it’s partnership with
SimBin Studios in the forthcoming release of GTR Evolution. Developed by the
award winning Swedish studio SimBin Development Team and published by Viva
Media, GTR Evolution takes GT and WTCC Extreme cars to the legendary
Nordschleife, the holy grail of racing. Available as a stand alone game and also
as an expansion pack for Viva Media’s 2007 title Race 07, GTR Evolution is
scheduled for launch in Q3 2008.
In GTR Evolution gamers will experience the
modern version of the monumental track of Nrburgring Nordschleife along with
the Nrburgring GP layout. Infamous for its incredible difficulty, the track is
revered and feared as the most treacherous track ever built.
Viva Media CEO Carlo Voelker commented that, “PC
Racing fans will be thrilled with extremely high standard of quality they will
experience with this game. The bar for racing simulations has been pushed even
higher by Simbin with this latest game in the GTR franchise.” He continued,

DBR9; plus Production Car Class racers like the Dodge Viper SRT/10 and the Audi
R8.”
GTR Evolution for PC comes with 22 GT car models
in 3 different classes plus a selection of exclusive production cars. Beyond
this SimBin adds WTCC Extreme; tuned concept cars based on the FIA WTCC cars.
“With rear wheel drive, extended body-kits and
over 600hp the WTCC Extreme cars will give the GT cars a run for their money”
said Diego Sartori, Creative Director at SimBin Studios AB.
GTR Evolution will be available as a stand alone
game including all RACE 07 content, all in all 49 unique cars in 12 classes with
over 500 variations and 19 tracks in over 40 different layouts including the new
and legendary Nrburgring Nordschleife. A GTR Evolution expansion pack for

“This is the biggest game ever from SimBin and a
must have for all gamers and we hope that GTR Evolution will satisfy all race
fans since it is packed with a broad variety of cars and new features that
should attract the gamer that wants to have it all in one high quality game”
