As some of you might have already noticed, this baby will be (very) soon released for GSC. (and it´s not coming alone either!)

Despite the fictional name and outfit, under the hood there is nothing fictional about the Formula Reiza. According to a F1 insider (who is under NDA and shall thus remain anonymous), it´s "the closest experience to the real thing outside the top teams´ professional simulators".

Talking the talk is of course cheap and what every racing game developer out there does, but all you fortunate GSC owners will soon get the chance to experience how the Formula Reiza also "walks the walk", at a very rapid pace!

Stay tuned.. Might be sooner than you think!

Presenting the Formula Reiza; more or less an F1 car. Put your brain in 7th gear for this one!

Il team SMS ha rilasciato una nuova versione alpha completa (meglio nota come "build" appunto) del suo già apprezzatissimo C.A.R.S.. La nuova release è la 0.73 e può essere scaricata dalla home page del WMD ufficiale (dopo essersi registrati ed aver attivato una licenza). Per tutti i commenti e discussioni del caso fate riferimento al nostro forum dedicato.

Uninstall from control panel and then delete the CARS game folder (if there is one left). Your save profile and graphics options should be left alone and will be carried forward without a problem. There may be certain builds where we specify a new profile is required (if the file format has changed for example), but hopefully those should be fairly rare.
