  • can u pit in

  • How many AI competitors can you put in about each track? In most videos I see 24, is that the max?

  • how do u disable the helmet in the cockpit view of the open seaters?

  • Someone Please help me i have gtr evolution and a logitech g27 but when i start a race in gtr evo and i steer to left or right my steer starts pulling to the side where i steer to please help me if you know how i can fix this or give me your settings from the logitech profiler.

  • Nerdburg???

    What track is that?

  • wait so this game is not a add on so its a full game ? or what do i need to buy to play this game can some one help me out

  • i actually think this owns RFactor

  • What are these white points on your hat?

  • @gzazoz That looks like a TrackIR Track Clip. Google it :)

  • i had those headsets vibration stop working so i smashed it

  • for the guys out there that still argue on what is the best : GTR Evo or GTR 2 - check out the vid I made playing both split-screen ! have fun watching !

  • Polyphony Digital should take some lessons from SimBin.

  • WHAT I MOST LIKE IS THAT YOU CAN USE YOUR MOUSE AS A STEERING WHEEL !!!!

  • GTR has a shit graphic

  • sim graphics are not the best because they focus on the most inportant part : the driving, the feel of the car, the dynamics of the car and the realism.

    So those complaining on the grapihcs like 'oh the trees arent even 3d'

    well go play grid or NFS. Idiots

  • @dhruvb38 welll i agree but the more real it looks the more real it feels. too bad the physics suck in nfs and grid tho

  • @dhruvb38 Good point. But I also like my sim games looking nice and crisp. That's why I can't wait for rfactor 2 and gtr 3 to come out. :P

  • Still can't get over there being no ferarris or porsches in a gt game...

  • @SessionsFilm

    There are Mods, which are easy to integrate though!

  • what steering wheel is that he uses

  • @HighOctaneRacingClub It was a G25 most likely

  • gran turismo 5 es muchisimo mejor q esa mierda

  • I use a Logitech MOMO force feedback wheel with this sim. It makes you sweat....

  • Can u play this if u dont have race 07?

  • @liftertwo yes you can play GTR withut RACE 07 if u buy the full version which is worth bout £15 in GAME

  • btw look 3:20, thats the town (vara) that the company started in! :D

  • this game online? multiplayer

  • Can I use this with a freakin' gaming keyboard and my arrow keys? All the previews are people with joysticks and racing wheels...

  • its a simulator for something , if you want to play with the keyboard , buy an arcade racer

  • its a racing sim.. you can play het with keyboard but it sucks with keyboard.

  • i think every racing game sucks with a keyboard

  • @marquesbrownlee

    you can play quite everything with keyboard (like i do).

    but you are not the bmost competitive and you dotn realyl get the feeling.

    i dotn have money for a wheel but if u have buy one

  • One of the drawbacks with their engine... no shadows from trees. This means the Green Hell doesn't have that shadowy congested view-obscuring thing going on in certain sections that it does IRL.

    Don't see why Simbin can't just update their engine with a new generation aimed at DX10 and 11.

    Only problem with the graphics other than shadows is the draw distance is lacking. Other than that it looks fine, imho.

  • Average graphics for lower end GC, however still require a P4 2.4Ghz and above PC....

    My C2D is only 2Ghz :(

  • Any C2D beats a P4, actually.

  • don't worry, it will run just fine;)

  • Ahhh finally my all favorite PC racer.....

    Great game

  • The sounds are excellent but the graphics (as always) are PISS POOR.

  • thats not what simbin aims for

  • Well considering the amount of money/effort some people put into building rigs with Frex kit etc. and the supposed graphical power that's available to PC's they fuckin well should be!

    I mean being able to set up real speedometers etc yet not even bothering (or having the talent) to animate a pair of hands on the wheel is beyond a joke.

  • No way, man. This video doesn't do the game justice. There are tons of settings; the graphics are really good once they're setup correctly. (but I thought the same when I first played the game -- it looked like crap) -- Defaults are for people who care more about performance. Even when u set it to it's highest settings outside of the game, there is more u have to tweak inside of the game under Options>Visuals. This game is amazing!!

  • Its not about graphics...

  • I know but what I'm saying is there is no excuse for poor graphics on ANY platform anymore.

    Why don't any of you seem to get that?!

    Or much more importantly: Why don't Sim Bin and Co?

  • The reason for the bad graphics is that 1: There is so much data and things going on with the cars and tracks there isnt as much room. 2. It allows people with lower end pc's to play this aswell.

  • Ok. That's the first decent answer anybody's gave me so thanks! Makes perfect sense.

  • Thing is Simbin are still using the ancient ISI engine which is well over 8/9 years old now. Sure its had tweaks through the years but its essentially the same - so there's only so much that can be strained from it.

    Should Simbin start using another engine? yes probably, but they've built their entire team around the cogs of that ISI engine - moving to another would probably be the end of them...

  • but no Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche or similar stuff.

  • maybe race on

  • Hi Seba, i havent even played rfactor but its nice to hear you too say this are the one you come back to as many say who have tried both..see you on track soon ;) / Your Ex-but-still-angry Postman Ps. for ISI gmotor2, i dont know if there are several engines used but dont SimBin got thier own engine (and also a great one inhouse) called " Lizard"? I may be wrong so dont scream at me ;)

  • I can't get the ghost-car function to work, how do you do it?

  • is it possible to change the install drive with the Atari distribution in Vista x64? There's no option to, that's why I ask, I need to because my main drive was never intended to install large files to. Please help. I need to install it to my other, significantly larger drive.

    Thanks!

  • ist nice--- but in real is the green helll ... damn .... i live 20 mins ...behind the green hell ;) -... the best rae track in the world--

  • hahha,,,yeah...did you all know simbin been using ISI gmotor2 engine from ISI rfactor in thier racing title?

  • Yes and they have done a good job of it !

  • Yeah it's so funny cause you can download almost any simbin game has a mod in Rfactor, in your Rfactor you can have GTR2, RACE 07, F1 legends, GT legends, Rally trophy and GTRevo...and more in one game...

  • I bought the gtr2 game today at Frys. I plan on getting gtr evo. I can't find players do i need to download xfire? Will Xfire have many gtr2 players.

  • Guys hook me up... im thinkin bout joining i racing.... what kinda steeringwheel, pedals and gearbox should i get?? What about the race frame or cage???

  • i think only proper wheel is logitech g25 (it has gearbox pedals and all...)

  • The rFactor is good but for me Race07+GTR Evo is better!

  • Agreed.

  • Hi Seba, i havent even played rfactor but its nice to hear you too say this are the one you come back to as many say who have tried both..see you on track soon ;) / Your Ex-but-still-angry Postman

  • Comment removed

  • LIFE FOR SPEED is better ! try it !

  • Well it depends on the areas. I personnally found the GTR Evolution's tracks better.

  • LFS has like 6 cars. BTW how do you configure a steering wheel on the LFS demo?

  • first it calls LiVe for Speed!

    and

    second no GTR Evo is lots of better than LFS!

    sry my bad english

  • its totaly difrent game.

    And GTR Evo is a sh**t , THE GTR 1 was the best sim from this trilogy saga ... just like RACE 07

  • the Track's name is NORDSCHLEIFE !

  • I recomend you rfactor, is more realistic.

    If you want to spent money on the best sim each month: iRacing, simply awesome

  • iRacing is brilliant. But it's just purely american cars. So if that's not your cup of tea then stick with rFactor or gtr evo.

    I never liked the tire physics of the games based on isi's engines though. You can't really drift. as soon as you go above a certain angle of slide, you just fly out of control. And the angle of slide doesn't even need to be all that high. And that sucks when you want to drive cars like the caterham, a car that loves to slide.

  • Sure, its pretty lame to drive only american cars, but im an iracing driver cause im waiting for the Lotus 79, in project.

    Maybe therll be v8 cars.

    Also the bad point of Iracing is the tracks available now, but soon therell be european ones, Oulton park and Donington in project!

  • *i mean v8 supercars

  • lol I shouldn't have to worry about the framerate problem.. I've got 2 GTX265 in SLI. Or will I still have issues?

  • No way lol.. Should run awesome on that rig. I was running it on a POS laptop.. Im now running on a rig witha PNY GTX 275 and it flies !

  • @EliteSoldier112 gtx 265 is too bad ! ^^ i hacve a new gtx 1420 it haves

    20 gb ! @ 5010 mhz

  • @EliteSoldier112 never heard about 265 ..

  • Now I got my Logitech G25 wheel, and I buy that game TODAY. I know its a bit late, but I dont want to play with my Keyboard. It really sucks^^. Thank you for that great vid man!! Its really cool.

  • Please! Tell me! I can ''mix'' diferent classes?

  • LP640ROADSTERdk,

    Obviously you haven't driven on a real racetrack in real life. You can't just go full speed on the first lap at a track you've never driven on! You think that all the top drivers in the world start out at full speed on a strange track? This not only applies to real life but to sims. As for the graphics being bad, you definitely have a bad graphics card or have the detail level low.

  • It annoys me that you HAVE to learn the tracks, partly because there's no map, partly because the graphics are so bad you can't see when the corners are coming, meaning by the time you see the corner, it's too late to brake... :(

  • You probably have an awful pc mate. Anyone knows sim racing is the only way to race!

    Although real life is way better than anything.

  • the graphics are still shit

  • You need a new computer & treat yourself to a top notch video card as well.

  • you don't play many other games i have 4850x2 in cfX i play hardcore games, i get <90fps at max graphics with this, prob about 180fps, i don't need a new gpu setup you can't say this has better graphics than the arcade racer, GRID......... don't lecture me, your eyes are obviously smashed up, note that i play alot of GTR, (the trees look like paper, its a sim racer the graphics are meant to suck LOL

  • can you play this game with a keyboard

  • Yes but not recommended. A wheel and pedals is a must for this game. You can get one for under $100

  • what the fuck is all that pop up about!!

  • i dont know but FOR ME is the steerin/...not good

    maybe because i play normaly f1...

  • i have this game and i dont like it because:

    the graphics and other things are very good but the steering/...are bad

    i drove this cars and there are no race feeling

    ...and many people think that gtr evolution is the new gtr from gtr2 but that isnt

  • You must have something set up wrong. the force feedback is well done in GTR Evo

  • Hi Darin I wondered what wheel you use for your laptop and I wondered if the ferarri f430 force feedback racing wheel you featured in issue would work with gtr evolution? Please Please Reply. P.s. what is the gaming laptop do you use. I think your show is great.

  • Hi Footy - I Run on a HP DV 9000 . It has a dual core 2.2 intel centrino with nvidia 8600 GTS and 2 gigs of ram.. Yes the F430 wheel would make a great wheel for this racing sim.

  • Thanks I will get that and do you have any other games that you rate that will be playable on vista and laptops.

    Footymad253.

  • I can play pretty much anything with that lap top.. Just not at full graphics, etc. All the latest sims and FPS games work great

  • Having played this game and driven the Nordschleife in person, they did a very good job. There are some unique bumps on certain sections of the track that Simbin included and others they left out. The outside bump in the track surface change on the right hander after the jump at Pflanzgarten was left out, but it's very technical and SHOULD have been included. Overall, best Nordschleife sim I have ever driven when compared to the real course.

  • hes talking so fast LOL

  • Looks like it has horrible pop in.

  • Whats the track at 2:10??

  • Macau I think.

  • Yep,its Macau(France)

  • Macau is in China.

  • thx :)

  • macau isnt france it is china

  • The Worst Track Model ever by Simbin

    The Straight are 100% wrong

    in 2:01 the Left side of highway exit is totally wrong !

    Hope in Race Pro they have change, but I think they never go Macau.

  • How could they have left out Ferraris and Lamborghinis?

  • Probably a licensing issue, you don't get to use those cars without having the rights to them, and the rights cost money.

  • kinda... weird... this game is night and day better when I play it with steam connected to the internet??? Goes from a slow laggy pos... to smooth as butter... Any ideas?

  • impossible whit keyboard!

  • Did he just say he was using the viper at the "nuremburg"?

  • Ughh look at that draw in.

  • That Antec 900 case is so damn smexai ^^

  • I had no idea the name of my case, but thats the one I have. Heh.

  • What FPS problems? Seriously? I'm running the game on a 2 year old PC with no problems (ok, after the initial load there's a few stutters, but only for 5 or so seconds, barely get out of the pit in that time) 2ghz amd dual core, 7600gt, 1gb ram, haven't even got it running right after last reformat.

    The thing I love most about GTR Evo has to be the STONE CHIPS IN THE WINDSCREEN, I've only ever seen it in one other game before (can't remember which) It's the little things that count.

  • Go to Magny Cours and exit the last turn... Add some AI and make sure your graphics are on full.. No frame hiccup, then you have your system dialed in.. I ran it on a 5 + year old single core system and a dual core and that track is a frame hog..

  • im running it on an old amd2800+ with 1.2gig ram and a nvidia 7600 and i dont really have that many problems if any

  • The amount of cars in these types of games really is overrated. All GT type cars (and better) are the same. Only the exteriors change, because these cars compete with eachother. They must have almost the same specs to actually be competitive.

    I'd be much happier driving real life cars. I want a crappy handling Corvette and an awesome little Lotus etc.

    If I want supreme racers, I only need an F1 car. Thats what you use to go around the track as fast as possible. Everything else is for fun.

  • Not all GT type cars are the same!

    If you just look at the specs of these cars on the game, none of them match...

    The Corvette has more power than the Aston Martin.

    They stay so close because of weight differences.

    The Aston has less power but is lighter than the Corvette.

    And so on.

    F1 has some sweet cars, but all of them are basically spec. Ferrari, McLaren, and BMW are leading because they have the most money and the most reliability.

    That's about it.

  • Like I said, they are the same. And of course, they would have to be. You cant have ultra lightweight car with all the downforce and horsepower.

    F1's are the ultimate, but its much more about making the car last through the whole race. Anything more is just a waste of money.

  • I'm sorry but if you think so, you shouldn't be driving the sim. How on earth is a Porsche the same as a Mosler?

  • I'm not driving these types of sim. They have to be almost the same or they could not compete at all... Its the same in every type of racing, but usually these GT's are lamer, because F1 cars are there fo the ultimate speed, which these try to imitate. I'd prefer real Ferraris and Porsches etc to these carbon copies.

  • So you're telling me a 911 is the same to drive as a 360?

    They don't have to be THE SAME, they have to have similar overall performance, for instance one car might have good acceleration with shitty handling whilst the other one might have a smaller engine but good handling. Compare an Elise to a 350Z.

  • I was talking about cars in this and other games of this type.

  • Yeah, so was I. The 911, 360, Elise and the 350z are all in this game.

  • If they are, and are in the same classes also, they have comparable performance. In real world counterparts there is no fair competition. Of course they, like F1 cars have small differences, but I'm simply talking about them being equally probable winners.

  • Quite a stretch from "carbon copies".

  • Heh, just a problem of semantics then.

  • Is GTR Evolution Only a Expansion on race 07 or is it a stand alone game??

  • Expansion

  • Both, pretty confusing. You can run this without Race07, as it has race07 included or something.

  • does this game have multiplayer?

  • Yes, it runs through Steam.

  • These guys are sorta annoying..

    Cool game but, looking forward to the AUS release next week.

  • I must say around 5:40 the comment about frame rate being poor on his notebook made me laugh. Also no DX 7 or 8 support? Who in their right mind is going to try and play this on hardware that old. Many mistakes and information that was either false or not helpful in the slightest. Seemed to be just two guys reading off the features list of the games website with little true insight given.

  • that's why it was considered a preview.. We only had the sim for a very short period of time when this aired. We also like to test things on a variety of systems because not all sim racers can afford a rig that can play games maximized. Compared to other titles, Sim Bin has the lowest frame rates but probably the prettiest graphics.

  • i love this game

  • where can i download gtr evolution?

  • Steam

  • i've got it, its endless fun!

  • Catter-ham? What the hell is 'Catter-ham'? Its Caterham for Gods sake!

  • I have had allot of problems with running Simbin products on my PC. Worse the tech help is lame.

  • Are the sounds intense?

  • That girls look awasome!

  • That looks awesome

  • that guys voice is SO annoying

  • can you make your own paint in gtr evo like in racedriver grid?

  • Yes

  • Someone put a sock in Shaun Cole's mouth, STFU! Once again Simbin comes through, hopefully the framerate issue isn't that big of an issue as they made it out to be. Who knows what kind of crap laptop he has, would have been nice if he gave his specs.

  • Why so bitter ? Geesh..

  • Dont take it too personal 100000 people vs 1 idiot. ;)

  • no Ferrari? disappointing...

  • I'll have to pick it up once released in USofA.

  • I just wrote a long thanks to you guys but somehow utube didnt post it.

    Btw, regardless, u guys rock.

    P/S : Shaun talked faster than my GF.

  • P.S so fuck if I cant spell, You know what im saying lol

  • PPL make me fuckin sick WTF?!!! what age do ya thing the folks makeing these games are? PPL are all the same no mater what your age is, if you enjoy playing at 30,40, fuckin 60 then thats great it dont matter, what matters is ppl are haveing fun and escapeing this fucking half ass'd hell hole that is ment to be a free life. get a grip!!! like the dude says half you lil fannies wouldnt say shit to there faces lil mangina sporting wannabees pfff! rant over lol peace.

    TyPlz

  • and what about clutch support for g25? in race 07, i could shift gear in manual gear mode without pressing clutch :( it's lame

  • Well, that's not so strange. Most real life versions of the race cars featured in Race 07 have dog-clutch straight cut gearboxes, which can be (up)shifted without using the clutch.

  • upshifting is normal, and downshifting depends on the car. Usually the clutch is only used when coming out of the pits or standing start to get the car rolling..

  • More of same: Race07 = Race = GTR2 = GTR1 = GTR Evolution = GTLegends. All of them are good, but are exactly the same game based in Gmotor2. It would be more honest to release only game updates instead of "newers" fake games.

  • why so much abuse?

    i personally dont favour the style of preview they gave us but saying things like "your too old to be a gamer" isnt a valid statement/comment.

    im 19 and play CoD4 and BF2142 and some gamers are 35-40 which isnt wierd or creepy.

    One day we'll be 40, most of us might not be playing games anymore but its and old fashioned view that games are for young people ONLY.

    games will continue to become more complex and mature, its just a pastime. And a great one...

    ENZO

  • Hi, does this game work with windows xp and vista? This game looks good I'm thinking buying. I have a latop that has XP and it is upgradable to Vista.

  • First off... DO NOT UPGRADE TO VISTA !!! I personally hate it for gaming.. The ISI games are spread all over your hard drive by Vista. Also in Vista some games don't ruin properly unless you're running the program as an "admin".. To answer your question.. Yes.. it does run on both. Also what are your laptop specs ? I've run it on a laptop. I have a dual core 2.2 ghz with an 8600 GTS video card and 2 gigs of ram and it runs good. Make sure your system has a gaming video card

  • what kind of pride do u take in urself as being an "experienced" gamer at the age of 40?? :D:D

    and who the *&#% gives a rat's ()() as to what cars r u favorites? :D

    - "like cones and other little extras that make SIMBIN titles so special"

    oh man u've gotta be shitting urself for a hobby :D:D:D:D

  • You cared enough to post here twice.. LOL.. Yes we do take pride in the fact that at 40 we can compete and beat young punks like you.

  • You're an idiot, I know my people who are more than that and they have been playing games since back in the day, my friend's father is an example, he's 45 and he plays games whenever he has time, FPS games, sports games and even some RPG games! what about mature games? you won't see kids playing them unless they are 17 and up.

  • with all due respect, u're assholes :)

    a couple of grand-dads "awe"ing at a video game :D

    come on, u make me laugh guys, matters not if u played video games even before my parents were born, u probably played Dave 2 or Prince a couple of times and thought u were experienced at video games :)

    any grafix u c would seem gr8 for u, but now, this game's grafix kinda dissapoints alot of ppl, and in case u haven't noticed, "dude", directX 8 & "7" r pretty much extinct, used only in Dave 2 :)

    Get a lifE

  • Your giant toddler.

  • How can you be so idiot? Incredible !!!!

  • Thanks for this great review, guys!

    - Don't listen to the haters...

  • my friend has this game,ITS SUCKS and looks SOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!

    GTR and GRID are so much better than this fucking game

  • hey asshole!

    this is GTR if u can't read!!

  • You are of course lying, it doesn't even come out till tommorow.

  • how can u say it's choppy when you play on a laptop, and that comment about directx8 and, worst, 7, come on u gotta be stoned!? simbin's games always have fast fps cuz they focus on the race engine not the graphics, it looks alright but the environment is somewhat simple, empty and square-looking. anyhow, your age gives you no credibility at all when it comes to videogames, if at least you were ex professional drivers, but then you could afford a fast computer and you wouldnt sound like virgins.

  • LOL.. Thats what we get for previewing a game for the public..

  • Other reviews confirmed that there are FPS drops at Nordschleife, even with a 8800GT.

    -And BTW, why this verbal abuse? Absolutely unsuitable.

  • THe abuse is pure jealousy IMO. Because we get to preview games.. I love how lalarurentide or whatever that handle is said.. My age gives me no credibility as a gamer.. LOL !! Can't wait till he's 40..(says he's 28) But yea... We've been playing video games since before he was born.. I also love how people hide behind handles and are blog or forum tough guys.. I think we'll do an editorial on the show about it ;-)

  • How many times does the word "intense" get used in this clip? But other than that, a really good looking game and can't wait to get it.

  • looks good,but i think its not better than Race Driver grid..but i buy it:D

    PS:Nordschliefe its wrong:D ! Nordschleife

    greets

  • Race Driver is a joke and NOT a simulation, but an ARCADE game. Get real dude. Nothing is as authentic as the GTR series.

  • I think so. I have play Grid at the Games Convetion '08. It's a beautiful Racegame!

  • is it worth getting this game if i already have gt5P? This looks kinda good.
