Wauw, the diesel powered seat sounds soooooooo boring imo

carbonfibre: Is that a sound bug with the Seat Leon? The transmission whine seems to be stuck at the same pitch.

As a turbodiesel it probably uses only something like 2000-5000rpms, that's why it sounds so weird compared to 6000-9000rpms of other WTCC cars.

DW made a good point, it seems that with every new addon or patch, Simbin improves the ‘base’ or ‘core’ of the game in one way or another, even though they may be small touches.

Ryan Gilmore: Actually it isn’t as Spa & Mid Ohio have not been announced for Race On + when you convert points into money, your paying extra for each new iteration that Simbin produce for the PC.

Actually Spa and Mid Ohio are not part of Packs 1 and 2. Packs 1 & 2 will cost you 1360 units or $17 using the conversion factor quoted above. We don't know the price of Race On expansion but I'm guessing $20 which isn't that different, especially when Race On may well add extra features to Race 07.

@EA: This is how a proper demonstration of a racing game must look!

DW: Huh? The addons for RACE 07 i.e. GTR Evo, STCC and soon Race On, ARE low cost extensions which you can buy through STEAM, the PC equivalent of Marketplace. Race On is equivalent to Expansion Packs 1 and 2.

Ryan Gilmore: I believe he meant the lower cost extensions to the game which they are doing with RACE On via the marketplace.

@carbonfibre, it’s a diesel, that’s why it’s so quite.

Why did they never do this for GTR Evolution?
