    the game is cool, but not everyone likes it because it's a simulator. the best aspect of the game is the noise of the engines at high rpm the sound is phenomenal

    Excellente IA, bruits de moteur corrects (mais parfois médiocres). Les graphismes sont d'un autre âge aujourd'hui mais étaient déjà dépassés à l'époque (en plus d'exiger une grosse config !). La conduite propose parfois des réactions étranges pour ne pas dire discutables (tête-à-queue aléatoires). Les bons points restent le réglage indépendant de la difficulté des opposants et des aidesExcellente IA, bruits de moteur corrects (mais parfois médiocres).

La conduite propose parfois des réactions étranges pour ne pas dire discutables (tête-à-queue aléatoires). Les bons points restent le réglage indépendant de la difficulté des opposants et des aides ainsi que les ralentis (impeccables).

    Si le multi fonctionne très bien, il est bourré de kikoos. Toujours est-il que l'ensemble reste rigide et manque de pèche et de cohérence dans le comportement routier. A noter que le jeu est loin d'être exceptionnel au volant, la faute à un feedback réduit au minimum syndical.    … Expand

    The GTs are king of dull here compared to GTR². But it's still enjoyable thanks to the nurburgring circuit.

    Started to make Simbin appear to think of their its loyal customer as cash cows... Making this addon a full priced game at first. Hopefully they now solved this by giving everything as possible addon for RACE07.

    Top notch in league racing.

    I've tried them all and GTR Evo sounds the best and performs like a sim should. I like the graphics in the new F1 2010 but it still feels like an arcade to me. I like GTRE so much that I put two Radeon 5870's in crossfire to get the graphics and game play at full tilt. IMHO there's nothing that compares to this game to date!

    I just don´t give it a 10 because of the buggy multiplayer. Should be a little bit better :)

    This is a rehash of the last version. Why buy it?

    The best SIM so far and finally a nurburg ring where we can use awesome cars!

    100% sim racing, if you like GT cars its the nicer version of GTR2..

    I have made many races on RACE07. It is a fantastic game in terms of driving, better than GTR2. There is also some graphic improvements. Now, GTR Evo is on. And it is now that I realise that the GT's was THE missing point of Race07. Handling is fantastic, with a 200% forecefeeback enabled. We really feel the road. Perfect! I am really a big fan of GTR2 and made over 5000 laps on it. I have made many races on RACE07. It is a fantastic game in terms of driving, better than GTR2. There is also some graphic improvements.

I am really a big fan of GTR2 and made over 5000 laps on it. I must admit, GTR Evo is better... I disagree with the official Czchek review @70%. The GT's are new models and the game with full details (shadows, textures, etc...) is really beautiful. You will have to be very clean with the accelerator pedal with GT pro because the back of your car will go right when you go left... A great pleasure and GTR Evo is not more "arcade" at all than GTR2. It is a lie to say this... 10/10 to encourage people who don't know this kind of game. 09/10 to those who have Race 07. 09/10 to those who love GTR2 and would like to know a sharper experience driving. 07/10 to those who think GTR Evo will be a revolution compared with GTR2.… Expand

    Really dissapointed bu this game. Was expecting GTR2 only better, but it pales into insignificance next to GTR 2. There are no Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini; there are none of the predefined championships, only the WTCC championship and no night or 24 hour racing. Ultimately a boring release and not worth the £20 price tag. Simbin you have let us down.

    Race 07 was just a season update for Race, and GTR Evolution continues to same direction. It adds the game some cars and legendary Nordscleife track, but basicly that's all. Everything is quite nice but nothing rises above the minimum level of hardcore racing simulators. Graphics engine looks like 5 years old. Production cars, that should shine brightly, look like plastic cars with plastic shine. In race cars that effect didn't bother, but with production cars graphics engine show its lack of ability to draw realistic lighting effects. Race 07 with GTR Evolution is very good game, but nothing else. Hopefully Simbin starts to do something completely different after these season updates, which have been continuing for too long now. And I hope I don't ever have to copy my review from one year old game anymore. [Sept 2008]

    Evolution evolves the series, and it does so wonderfully. I suspect a future follow-up will involve a complete overhaul, but until then, GTR Evolution -- and Nordschleife in particular -- is where every good driver should be.

    GTR Evolution is a fine addition to SimBin’s repertoire of driving sims, offering some great features and unrivaled tracks for fans of authentic racing games.
