I dunno. The way it’s worded doesn’t make it sound like another touring car series.

“…meaning rules, cars, tracks and features specific to this new series will instantly become available in GTR Evo and STCC if you also own those.”

Namely – rules and features? Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with. On the flip side, I’m starting to get sick of the gMotor engine, it’s becoming seriously outdated these days, and will be even moreso when this new game comes around next year.

Don’t forget that Simbin has modelled Laguna Seca and Road America for Race Pro. A Champ Car addon would be nice.

it’ll probably just be BTCC as it fits in with the theme of the game already having WTCC and STCC.

Well, Grand AM would be nice, but I would love to see a ALMS/LMES/LMS game. Maybe SCCA, they’ve just landed the livense for Porsche and Ferrari, MAYBE

One can hope :mrgreen:

Personally i like it to be the A1GP series, but i very much doubt that..Shame we’re not getting the new Lizard engine, sure they have their reasons..

ALMS is not likely. If they could not get the license for the Ferrari and Porsche for evo, I doubt it’d be able to be had for a full alms game by them. While I REALLY want a true 2007/2008 season ALMS game made by a game maker its just not going to happen with out LMP2’s top car and the top 2 cars of GT2.

To me, BTCC is quite similar to WTCC and STCC. Many of the same cars, same type of racing, maybe equally good drivers…

The way I see it, there would not be that big of a market for a BTCC game, cus a lot of the people who bought Race07/GTR Evo probably would not consider paying a lot of money for a new game with the same physics and maybe only 5-6 new cars.

I don’t own GTR Evo myself, but if I did, I probably would not consider buying a very similar BTCC game.

It would, however, make much sense, as the gMotor engine is PERFECT for touring car racing. But realeasing a BTCC expansion for GTR Evo would be sweeeet… That way, we could have both WTCC, STCC and BTCC in one game!

I would have thought Codies would have bought GP2 as part of their F1 game. Codies usually include several series in their games and some kind of career. GP2 would fit with this.

I’d say GP2 is more likely than A1GP…

BTCC does have a world wide appeal, all you need to do is make a thread on a forum somewhere and ask what BTCC is and people from a range of countries will be able to tell you. And it is more exciting than rubbish WTCC, and also has a lot more variety in terms of cars, like the Honda Integra, MG ZS, Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch, Honda Civic etc. Also there was a BTCC Civic being made for Race07 on a certain known forum and then the thread was closed and someone from Simbin asked them to contact them.

ALMS would be a logical series

BTCC has a Bigger Appeal than some people think.

Granted it is not the same as it was in the 1990s, a lot of drivers from other countries did come to join it as it was regarded as the best.

I would hazzard a guess @ A1GP or BTCC. BTCC more & hope :)

It says the next release “will will come as a big happy surprise to all racers around the world.” and I don’t see the BTCC having world wide appeal. But the BTCC could be the 2nd release – I would think the market for a BTCC sim was bigger than the market for an STCC sim though modelling the tracks will also be more expensive.
