Forza 3 is here!

2009-11-30T08:28:00.000-08:00

Forza 3 has been with us for several weeks now, and the game has been very well accepted by racers / gamers in general. Instead of posting my own review, I though I'd simply post what others have already said about the new game here at World-racers.

"Overall, I see myself spending the rest of my gaming life with this baby. I foresee some awesome series with you guys. And we absolutely need a World Racer.com vinyl we could all proudly show to the world while racing!!"

"When all's said and done this is a brilliant brilliant title, and probably just about the best value for money that you can get."

"To sum up. There is a much improved feel to the game vs FM2. Take the final corner of Sebring for example: it no longer feels like a complete crapshoot. You know what's going on underneath now. And if you come in hot, you'll feel it, and likely be able to adjust rather than skid out on the ice into the wall."

RacePro Updated Hands-On
By Brian Ekberg, GameSpotPosted Nov 20, 2008 5:28 pm PT

The gearheads at SimBin are prepping their console racing debut and we take some laps with the latest build.

"The problem is when you have a lot of horsepower." So says SimBin Studio's creative director Diego Sartori, one of the driving forces behind the studio's upcoming racing debut on the Xbox 360, RacePro. Long known for its heralded PC sim-racing games, including GTR, GTR 2, and last year's Race 07, the studio is branching out with RacePro, a game that the studio hopes will please hardcore racing fans and perhaps create a few new racing fans along the way. We've had a chance to spend some time with an updated build of RacePro and, yesterday, we spoke with Sartori about the game's evolution on the Xbox 360.

GRID Le Mans Rivalry Go's Live!

2008-09-25T09:52:00.000-07:00

Throughout history where ever automotive racing could be found, a manufacturing rivalry was soon to follow. Some may remember the bitter Ford vs Ferrari rivalries of the late 1960's during the 24 Hours of Le Mans each year, or the more recent rivalries between Chevrolet and Aston Martin in the GT-1 and GT-2 Classes.

Regardless of what you remember, the rivalries have always been there....Lurking in every corner of every track. Indeed even the prestigious LMP Classes are not immune to these rivalries. The ongoing battle between the powerful diesel powered Audio R10's and the light excellent handling Penske Porsche Spiders are proof of that.

..........This is exactly what this series is all about.
