RACE Pro – Coming February 12th

Posted on December 19th, 2008 in Console

Several gaming websites are reporting that Simbin has confirmed the release date for their first ever Xbox360 simulation, RACE Pro.

The simulation is planned to be released on February 12th and even though I have not received official word on this date yet, it seems pretty likely as a release within Q1 had been confirmed before.

RACE Pro will be the first Simbin game to use the in-house developed Lizard engine. The simulation will pretty much contain all content from GTR Evolution minus the Nordschleife, including some Console-only content: Xbox360 racers will be getting two all new tracks, Road America & Laguna Seca, as well as some missing WTCC cars from the 2007 season that have not been included in the PC titles.

A demo of RACE Pro is expected to hit Xbox Live around Christmas time, giving us the chance to try out the first proper racing simulation on a console pretty soon.
