Il team Simbin ha annunciato che in questo fine settimana sarà possibile provare il nuovo RACE alla fiera Car Sport Show che si svolge in Svezia, presso lo stand dello Swedish Virtual Car Competition. La vera notizia è però che la FIA ha ufficializzato lo SVCC come una propria manifestazione, alla pari, ad esempio, della tappa svedese del Mondiale Rally ! Discutiamone sul forum.

SBF is this weekend (November 24th-27th, 2006) presenting the all new concept of SVCC, ( Swedish Virtual Car Competition ) based on RACE at their stand C17:30. SVCC has been declared an official Swedish motorsport branch by the FIA and will be granted the same status as STCC and Swedish Rally Championship.

This is a true milestone in gaming and motorsport history as young talents can start off their careers in motorsport using a game environment that is cheaper to start in. The concept and the competitions will be started during 2007 and at the end of the SVCC season a real Swedish champion will be crowned. Please join us there if you have the opportunity, four simulators plus one Force Dynamic 301 G-Force simulator is showcasing RACE which is out in stores as of today.

Come potete vedere dalle immagini, i piloti saranno rappresentati interamente insieme agli interni della vettura, offrendo ancora maggiore realismo (estetico) rispetto alle vecchie uscite. Questa seconda edizione del gioco, che affianca l'aggiornamento di Gran Turismo 4 (in alta definizione) presente sullo stesso disco, richiederà il download (a pagamento) di gran parte delle vetture e tracciati, offerti via Internet a partire dal periodo di uscita. La pubblicazione è comunque rinviata alla prossima primavera su tutti i territori.

If you’re finding TOCA Race Driver 3 a little too easy, RACE might do the trick. You can learn on the duller tracks and then tackle Macau for a wonderful challenge. But if you’re at all familiar with the characters of the driving sim elite, RACE will feel like a decent photofit that somehow, somewhere, got a little bit wet and smeared.
