Il portale di Games Radar ha pubblicato una esauriente anteprima dedicata al prossimo Toca Race Driver 2 della Codemasters:

But no TOCA Touring Cars. What? TOCA Race Driver 2 has no TOCA cars? This might seem a trifle odd, to say the least, though you may have noticed the game was announced without the TOCA brand at all. Only recently has that been permanently acquired by Codemasters and glued back on, but the machines aren't going in anyway.

La Codemasters ha riportato sul proprio forum alcune informazioni dettagliate riguardanti la prossima patch ufficiale per il nuovo Toca Race Driver 2, che implementerà fra le altre cose gli specchietti retrovisori:

"Obviously we've got a really big title, but it doesn't hurt to have a bit of breathing space either side... It's only a couple of weeks. and anyway- you'll have the multiplayer demo to keep you going in the meantime. that's coming next week, and will have some different cars and tracks for you to drive. It'll be V8s and DTM again, but with the jag replaced by something else. what that is, you'll have to guess.

#CONTINUE#

Here's some of the things we're doing- basically to cover bases: Dropping the rev limiter on the Aussie V8s by 500 RPM; Work on Bathurst to smooth out the top a bit more; More track and car combos in free race and online; Mirrors (PC); Left-right glance; Saving replays (PC); Some Front-end Changes; Bugfixes (PC); Compat fixes (PC); Security. (PC)

All of this is currently planned for the PC patch, some will also be in the Xbox Live update. Mirrors are definitely PC-only (as the xbox version is right up against the hardware and adding it would drop the frame rate.) I don't know when it'll be ready, so don't ask. The game's not even out yet.
So anything on the above list, you can stop asking for. We're working on it. It may not make it into the final patch, because things don't always go as planned, but that's the current hit list."

In attesa della nuova release ufficiale "G" per l'ottimo Live for Speed, correte a scaricare la nuova patch test F10 che perfeziona ulteriormente il gioco in multiplayer riducendo il lag; questa la lista delle novità presenti:

Il Vermin Design Team è un gruppo di sviluppatori riunitosi per creare un simulatore di guida della stagione di Formula 1 del 1977 utilizzando il codice base del netKar di Stefano Casillo: potete leggere su M4Driving una interessante intervista in proposito.

Marco Cortesi "Powerman": can you present a bit your team? How many people are working with you and from where?
Richard Tippet "VerminGTi": we are all working from over the world, we currently have around 15 or so members on the team, we are very spread out but thanks to the internet we can all communicate easily...

Il portale di Gameplanet ha pubblicato un'interessante articolo di "first look" dedicato al prossimo ed attesissimo GTR dei Simbin, eccovene un estratto:

SimBin have since moved away from the free mod development scene and set up as full game development company. Their first project, GTR - The Ultimate Racing Game, is due later this year, and revisits the FIA GT Championship racing series that it brought to life in GTR 2002. This time, however, they have the freedom to go beyond what was possible with a mod, and they have the support of the actual FIA GT teams, tyre makers and detailed track data from the FIA.

E' disponibile per Grand Prix 4 la nuova e straordinaria versione 8.6 dell'utility 3D Editor, tramite la quale è possibile aprire tutti i files contenenti gli oggetti 3D del gioco. Questa la lista delle principali features dell'attuale release:

La Codemasters, tramite il suo portavoce e responsabile dei titoli di guida Rich Tysoe, ha confermato lo sviluppo di una prossima patch ufficiale per aggiornare il nuovo Toca Race Driver 2:

"Mirror will definitely be included in the patch. This is now working on our dev builds, so can be ticked off the list. We've got more lined up, and I'll tell you about them as the programmers and artists get them done."
