Whereas the PC has long been the platform for hardcore realistic simulation fans, some of that audience has been chipped away in recent years, especially as far as racing games are concerned. As console fare like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport raise the bar for driving sims, many PC gamers may feel a little left in the dust. However, there are still some great options for PC racing fans, like GTR Evolution from acclaimed developer SimBin. GTR Evolution is the latest driving sim from SimBin, offering PC gamers realistic, physics-intensive racing and a variety of real-world tracks and authentic vehicles. GTR Evolution is not too terribly removed from its predecessors. Instead, what it does is adds subtle improvements to the formula, adding more of what fans of the series would want and cleaning what needs to be cleaned. The game has 20 real-world tracks, including the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife (more on that one in a moment), as well as 500 different car variations in 12 distinct classes. One of the biggest features in GTR Evolution is the inclusion of the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Essentially the holy grail of racing-sim tracks, the “Green Hell” is a 14-mile endurance test with tons of difficult turns and little room for error, making it a track that racing purists will spend countless hours trying to master. The Nordschleife is extremely difficult, but a great way to perfect your racing skills. Not just the Nordschleife, but each of the game’s tracks have been faithfully reproduced through GPS and CAD data, making for as authentic an emulation as you can get. Another great feature in the game is the 25-player online racing modes. The action stays smooth and fairly lag-free throughout, and it’s extremely easy to hop into a race, making this a fine racer for online driving-sim fans. |
