FIA GT Championship

A first look at the new game GTR2

GTR : the FIA GT Racing Game, won plenty of praise when it was launched, due to the extreme realism of the game. The new version, GTR 2, due to be released in 2006, looks like being even better.

GTR2 is based on the 2004 season of the FIA GT Championship, complete with cars and tracks. It also includes plenty of new features, including three new events.

Ghost Time Trial : this mode allows a driver to compete in a Time Trial against himself or against a pre-recorded “ghost player”. Players can share their recordings with friends and download recordings from other players.

Proximus 24 Hours of Spa : this mode recreates the full four-day event, culminating in the 24-hour race complete with a realistic day-night cycle and dynamic weather changes with clouds rolling in and rain starting and stopping. Just like the real thing !

Driving School : the player can take part in a course of driving theory, earning licenses by competing against an instructor, earning points and medal and unlocking custom tracks.

GTR2 includes over 140 highly detailed cars, including all the GT and N-GT cars from the 2004 season. The tracks include all the 2004 circuits
visited, as well as tracks from previous seasons, all modeled with detail and accuracy.

Track-IR technology, previously used in flight simulators, is fully supported in GTR2. This tracks the player’s head movements, allowing him or her to look around the cockpit, glance at the rear view mirror etc.

More features will follow !
