Takfarinas of Live-Simracing.com has brought us another preview video of Simbin’s GTR Evolution title to enjoy.
This time, we ride around Brno in the Aston Martin DBR9, a good chance to compare it to the WGTS Aston Martin video I posted earlier today. What cockpit looks better? Which sound do you prefer? You decide!

Team LMT has released their first ever public mod for rFactor, bringing Ferrari's F60 Formula One car and the 2009 version of the Singapore Grand Prix to the simulation. Driven by Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the F60 was Ferrari's take on the new rules introduced prior to the 2009 Formula One season. Despite being equipped with the promising KERS system, the car failed to make an impact on the world championship. Along with the car comes the 2009 version of Singapore, Formula One's first ever night Grand Prix. The team's first public mod for rFactor was helped by many modders who ...

Based on ISI's popular gMotor 2 simulation engine, the game includes all cars, drivers, rules and tracks of the 2009 SLF season, the second in series history. The virtual SLF cars have been created by none other than CTDP, rFactor's most popular open-wheel modding team. The game includes six popular European road courses as Magny Cours, Zolder, Estoril, Monza, Jarama & Donington are included. Furthermore, the game includes all of the series rules including the two-race format used on race ...
The third installment of Turn 10's Forza Motorsport franchise brings over 400 cars and 100 to the Xbox 360, aiming to create a new benchmark title in terms of console driving games. Can the newest Forza give Gran Turismo a run for its money and is the title something sim racer should consider? Read the review to find out. Back in 1997, Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital single-handedly created a new sub-genre of racing games by releasing the first Gran Turismo. Bringing over 170 cars to the Playstation, GT introduced the concept of car collection driving titles, starting an impressive success story. The ...
Enduracers have released a first batch of previews of the upcoming Service Pack 1 for their popular Endurance Series mod for rFactor. The previews show the Porsche RS Spyder Evo LMP2 prototype in several paint schemes. Launched in 2007 after a problem-ridden season with the initial RS Spyder model, the Evo proved to be a big success, clinching Porsche countless wins in the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Series. The first service pack will be introducing several new models to Endurance Series, including the Peugeot 908 and Audi R10 diesel sports cars, the Acura ...
Following a first batch of previews released a few days ago, Team RMT has now released new previews of the Honda NSX Cockpit in rFactor where World Super GT is running for testing purposes. The shots show us what could very well be the most stunning cockpit in any PC simulation ever as no detail has been spared on the Super GT car's interior. Successor to World Super GT for GTR 2, World Super GT 2 will bring some of of the most legendary GT cars of the 90s as well as Super GT GT500 class machinery to rFactor 2. [nggallery id=1958] Via BSR

Oh man the tire sound is crap

Graphics:
This cockpit is so much lighter than the WSGT one. I think its a bit too light, but the WSGT one is definitely too dark. Somewhere in the middle would be ideal. I hope WSGT changes the color of the roll cage, because the bright grey bars really don’t go well with the dark interior. Visibility both ahead and to the left is better in the GTR-E version.
Sounds:
First, I don’t think either sound comes very close to the distinct sound of the DBR9. The GTR-E sounds are just… boring. The howl from the WSGT version is much nicer (I understand its the 550 sounds?), but still not quite high pitched enough. However, upshifts in the GTR-E version are exponentially better. The sound of the 550/WSGT upshift is just terrible. I do sort of like how the GTR-E sounds are layered, there’s two distinct engine notes. However, neither of them seem high pitched enough for the V12 in the DBR9.

The sounds do sound a bit…tame, compared to the real thing. Still I think it’s a decent representation. The gear shift sounds seem to be good as well. I thought RACE07 was pretty good step up from Simbin in terms of sound.
As for the graphics – the cockpit lighting in GTR2 just seems to be much nicer than in RACE07. Even RACE07 content ported to GTR2 (e.g. the WTCC mod) looks much, much better in GTR2 than it does in the game it was originally created for. So ideally I’d like to see the Simbin DBR9 model in GTR2’s lighting engine, which I suppose is inevitable really…

I agree the tire sounds is not good in this video. Though, I would hope ecah person can adjust to his liking.
The grapics are nice in this mod, but not much different than the WSGT mod for GTR2. If I were the Simbin team I would be embarssed…. LOL! Or I would recommend hiring the WSGT team!

in Race07 it is fairly easy to change the volume of the tyre scrub sound, so I guess it will be easy in Evo.
Cockpit; I say a little bit better then WSGT
SOunds; I also say better then WSGT, sure the engine sounds isn’t real, it’s like said here; tame in both games. But with the gear change sounds Evo has convinced me.
And also after seeing this video, I got my convidence back in the game, because after seeing the Nord. film, I thought it would be like a hovercraft, but in this video it’s much better.
Great driving and video Takfarinas :mrgreen:

Vimeo’s lame. I think GameVee.com was pretty much made for this kind of thing though
