Come summer 2006, GTR 2 will set new standards all over again! The new DirectX9 graphics engine ensures that the race cars and circuits are portrayed in a more detailed and photorealistic way than ever before, and the sensation of speed experienced with the HP-beasts is even more immersive, thanks to the improved driving model. <br><br> The dynamic day-night light cycle, weather changes, and impressive damage system once again provides an impressive experience of the exciting FIA GT racing series on your PC at home.

Featuring a staggering 140+ accurately and detailed car models from two full FIA GT seasons GTR 2 brings a higher level of detail than ever seen before: cars will scuff, dent and break to an absurdly high level of accuracy, slight twists to the chassis will alter the handling and players will even be able to see the brake discs visibly change colour as they get hotter beneath the rims. Players looking to improve their skills will be happy to hear that GTR 2 features a driving school where amongst others; lessons are given on cornering, braking and overtaking techniques for players in their quest to become the ultimate GT racer.

The level of realism in terms of looks and physics sets the bar at an all time high for PC racing games and with its genuinely challenging gameplay players can expect a real tour de force”

10tacle studios and developer SimBin have used every trick in the book to ensure that the attention to detail in GTR 2 is placed convincingly on the winners’ podium. Players will discover a highly detailed damage system, affecting every part of the car with bone shattering collisions flinging debris everywhere. An unsurpassed physics engine provides realistic feedback and convincing handling, whilst the specular-reflective wet roads, real time ambient lighting and atmospheric effects all give a driving experience so true that players’ will be hard pressed to tell it from the real thing.

GTR 2 will be published by 10tacle studios and distributed throughout Europe by Atari in September 2006.
