    Default GTR Evolution thoughts?

    Curious to get the Champion community's thoughts on the new sim.

    I'm VERY impressed with the physics tweaks. I put GTR-E at the top of current sims in the physics department - iRacing notwithstanding (and hardly in the same price category). I must say though, GTR-E isn't far behind iRacing's feel when driving.

    The graphics are nice also - really further contrasting to rFactor's ageing graphics (maybe just from so many older converted tracks though).

    The cars are a good variety and I really like the 3 "levels" of GT included to give variety from powerful to more powerful to hold-on-to-your-ass . League and fun racing will benefit from the diversity. The WTCC extreme cars are a blast.

    Haven't gotten around to online racing yet, hope the netcode is good.

    Only problem I've really had is that the Nordcleif (sp) causes frame freezing even on low graphics settings for me.

    Drop your thoughts here.

    I am a huge fan of the ring, so anything associated with it is at the top of my I am a huge fan of the ring, so anything associated with it is at the top of my wish list. I would have to say that this add-on has not let me down. The only issues I have are I really wish that you could get a true update for this game, especially since STCC should be out shortly, and I would like to upgrade my version for less then the full game cost.

    That said I can not wait to see how this runs in the Fun Series. I know that the Race 07 run we did back in August worked well, so I am hoping this one is just as good.

    My best description of GTR Evolution would be this, rFactor is the game for Endurance Racing (90+), where Race 07 (GTR –Evo) is the game for sprints (90-).

    GTR Evo is certainly a more polished product, it is the better offline experience, and well worth the $20US, but I still prefer rFactor for online racing.

    One last thing...I've only played with Evo for one evening, but GTR Evo looks and feels like it was ported from the console. It basically is Race Pro/Race 07 in one package.

    For anyone having issues with FPS performance in Evo try switching to the hood view. I doubled my FPS from the cockpit view by doing that. Not always the ideal way to race I realize, but its much better than having to try to drive with low fps.

    Got my copy yesterday after noon.Installed it..like it..no save feature though..beyond that I still like it
    Kind of reminds me of a mix between GTR and GTL.

    Same here, Amazon is where I got it ... from the CMS Amazon Store. I believe you should be able to do the same at www.amazon.ca for Canadian Orders. Or you can simply buy online and download it at www.steampowered.com
