Gerrit has just send me the following shots via the Report News function, these seem to be the first screenshots of Simbin’s RACE 360 for XBOX360. Apparently, the shots have been scanned from paper, explaining the rather bad quality.
While the shot of the BMW is the old Lizard-promotional shot, the other shots are unseen material. Interestingly, they include both the Aston Martin DBR9 and a BMW Z4M Coupe, hinting that RACE 360 might even include content from the upcoming GTR Evolution simulation. The BMW Z4M is seen for the very first time in a Simbin game, it has not yet been included in any GTR Evolution screenshots.
The fact that the Lizard-promotional shot was used and that some pics feature motion-blur hints that RACE 360 will indeed use the Lizard engine. But remember, no sources have been giving for this one…it all just might be a hoax.

Wow. Nice to see the Z4M. Will be interesting to see if they can get the feel right on a console.

Awesome. I was never really all that excited about GTR Evo if I’m being honest, but this is a definite buy for me.
Now all we need is Microsoft to stop being tossers add proper HID support for the 360, rather than forcing people to use their crappy wireless wheel.

By the way Montoya, what’s the source of the info?
I can’t actually find any information about this game at all. I guess we’ll probably see an official announcment soon.

Info on the game itself is from various gaming websites like Worthplaying.com
The screenshots, like written above, came without any source from VirtualR reader Gerrit. So chances are, they are not legit…

This really looks al lot like Race Driver Grid. I can imagine these are just scans from that game..
