Legendary Driver Joins Real-Time Racing Beta Test

Posted on November 24th, 2009 in RTR – 24 Comments

iOpener has just announced to have signed a mystery race driver that will be joining their Real-Time Racing game beta test as RTR beta testers get the chance to virtually compete against the driver at Circuit Zolder.

The identity of the driver has not yet been revealed but iOpener describes him as world-wide known driver who is currently inactive and will be making his comeback with Real-Time Racing. Any guess who it could be?

If you don’t want to miss your chance to race against the mysterious pro, make sure to pre-register for a RTR beta key here.

    It cant be Jacques Villenueve, as he claims realistic racing games are boring.

    “Got some great news today !… meh, but I’m not gonna tell you what it is”

    ooh the mystery and suspense, I can’t take it :eek:

    So far ppl have gone for F1 drivers. I’m not sure it will be, but would be cool if it was.

    The Stig’s sim-racing cousin?
    Agree with F1Racer, doubt it will be a F1 driver.

  • f0xx

    I was going to say the Stig! :sd:

  • svizzy

    it’s not an f1 driver (at least no big one) they would tell us that directly. Schumi haha this would be in the tv news

  • scca1981

    The driver is making their comeback in a video game? Must not have been that great of a driver to begin with :lol:

    ok so Nelson Piquet Jr, Ricardo Rossett or Sebastian Bourdais maybe ? :)

    I would love it to be Alex Zanardi but he’s still active isn’t he ?
    Can’t be Montoya cos his head is still broken…..

    Maybe a BTCC or GT driver.

  • f0xx

    It would be very nice if it was Mika Häkkinen :D:D:D

  • Gaiajohan

    I’d say Jos Verstappen. iOpener initiative was made by Dutchmen. The whole game is based in Belgium.
    Jos Verstappen lives in Belgium
    Jos is inactive atm

  • Gaiajohan

    I mean where the tests are… is all in belgium

  • stabiz

    That makes sense.

    It’s supposed to be a “world-wide known driver”, which would exclude Verstappen ofcourse… :cool:

  • knarf

    My first thought was also Jos Verstappen. He lives only a few miles/km away from the Zolder track.

    Jacky Ickx then ? :p

  • mrwout

    No but seriously Jos Verstappen seems a pretty good gues to me, having been a formula one driver kind off qualifies you as being world-wide known in my book. But he is kinda still “active”, being in this years 24 hours of le mans, then in wouldn’t really be a “comeback to the track”

  • http://racingrenders.com F1Racer

    Yeah but Verstappen is hardly ‘legendary’ is he. Maybe only in Belgium.

  • F1_fan_1

    My first thought was Verstappen too. Maybe that’s because I’m Dutch though, I don’t know. :tongue:

    F1Racer: Yeah but Verstappen is hardly ‘legendary’ is he. Maybe only in Belgium.

    He’s Dutch, not Belgian! :ooo: :happyevil:

  • Alan Sutton

    well, a totally different answer to most you guys but my theory is based on 2 real world drivers who i think are inactive at the moment but they are also avid sim racers already that is quite well known,

    1. David Grecko
    2. Sean Edwards

    Either of those 2.

    F1_fan_1: My first thought was Verstappen too. Maybe that’s because I’m Dutch though, I don’t know. He’s Dutch, not Belgian!

    He’s from Limburg, which makes him more Belgian than Dutch if you ask me… :wink:

    Yes I know, calm down. I didn’t say he was Belgian. I said he might be popular there after someone said he lived there.

    I doubt its an F1 driver. I think it’ll be a sportscar driver or something, Tom Kristensen? He pretty bloody famous.
