Posted on October 12th, 2008 in STCC - The Game
Thanks to Simbin, I will be able to present you a full review on their newest STCC – The Game simulation in a few days time.
To keep you entertained until then, here is a first batch of screenshots taken during my first spins with the game. The screenshots show both the STCC cars and the Chevrolet Camaro Cup, racing on three different tracks. Enjoy!

Team LMT has released their first ever public mod for rFactor, bringing Ferrari's F60 Formula One car and the 2009 version of the Singapore Grand Prix to the simulation. Driven by Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the F60 was Ferrari's take on the new rules introduced prior to the 2009 Formula One season. Despite being equipped with the promising KERS system, the car failed to make an impact on the world championship. Along with the car comes the 2009 version of Singapore, Formula One's first ever night Grand Prix. The team's first public mod for rFactor was helped by many modders who ...
Image Space Incorporated and the Superleague Formula Series have released the Superleague Formula Game, bringing the 2009 SLF season to the PC. Based on ISI's popular gMotor 2 simulation engine, the game includes all cars, drivers, rules and tracks of the 2009 SLF season, the second in series history. The virtual SLF cars have been created by none other than CTDP, rFactor's most popular open-wheel modding team. The game includes six popular European road courses as Magny Cours, Zolder, Estoril, Monza, Jarama & Donington are included. Furthermore, the game includes all of the series rules including the two-race format used on race ...
The third installment of Turn 10's Forza Motorsport franchise brings over 400 cars and 100 to the Xbox 360, aiming to create a new benchmark title in terms of console driving games. Can the newest Forza give Gran Turismo a run for its money and is the title something sim racer should consider? Read the review to find out. Back in 1997, Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital single-handedly created a new sub-genre of racing games by releasing the first Gran Turismo. Bringing over 170 cars to the Playstation, GT introduced the concept of car collection driving titles, starting an impressive success story. The ...
Enduracers have released a first batch of previews of the upcoming Service Pack 1 for their popular Endurance Series mod for rFactor. The previews show the Porsche RS Spyder Evo LMP2 prototype in several paint schemes. Launched in 2007 after a problem-ridden season with the initial RS Spyder model, the Evo proved to be a big success, clinching Porsche countless wins in the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Series. The first service pack will be introducing several new models to Endurance Series, including the Peugeot 908 and Audi R10 diesel sports cars, the Acura ...
Following a first batch of previews released a few days ago, Team RMT has now released new previews of the Honda NSX Cockpit in rFactor where World Super GT is running for testing purposes. The shots show us what could very well be the most stunning cockpit in any PC simulation ever as no detail has been spared on the Super GT car's interior. Successor to World Super GT for GTR 2, World Super GT 2 will bring some of of the most legendary GT cars of the 90s as well as Super GT GT500 class machinery to rFactor 2. [nggallery id=1958] Via BSR

I bought a (wrongly prized
) boxed version bundled with Race07, and I think its worth the money. The tracks are twisty and fun, and the Camaros are like boats. In a good way.

You would have thought marketing lessons would have been learnt after the disaster that was the Steam release of GTR Evolution!
But no, several weeks after a boxed version has been available in Sweden (who will post abroad), we die of boredom/impatience!
Personally, I gave up on the waiting game and ordered yesterday from:-

Some people need to read up on Steams history, why it has been successful, why it is used, and why more and more developers are considering Steam now days.

Steam is not a publisher, it’s a content delivery system – it’s not Steam’s fault if a game isn’t (yet) available on it.
It’s pretty likely that the boxed version of this title will only be available in Sweden, which is a pretty simple marketing decision, and the lack of a Steam release so far will just be a part of the contract with the boxed version’s publisher. There will always be a period of exclusivity over a download version to maximise early revenue – it’s actually marketing sense, not poor marketing!
Nothing sinister going on here, and if you’re desperate you can always purchase from Sweden anyway.
