The car model looks good imo…
But is this for real?
and the cockpit looks HORRIBLE! Such an ugly dash!

Interesting if this game can be united with GTR Evolution.

Just think of it as a mod or an extra. Just like Half life 2: lost coast was to half life 2.

So it’s basically like the BMW M3 Challenge and the Lexus ISF. Car companies are starting to take a liking to simulation games to promote their brand, which is all the better for sim enthusiasts. This will be a nice addition to my personal road car mod.

As I saw the title I thought “oh no”, but now that I’ve seen it’s free software then fair enough.
So a little more official content for nothing shouldn’t be sniffed at.

LOL, seems like I was right on this Volvo thing. Not the hotrod, but still Volvo :)
Btw, don’t nag guys. Its free and its for you. If you don’t like it, don’t read and download.
Just enjoy the fun. Thanks SimBin, wonderful news!
