Not wishing to put a dent in your enthusiasm but the GTR 360 page has been online for well over a year, and they haven't officially communicated on "Race Pro" yet, their news page has recently been under attack, the first news was strange and it said "hacked by Team XX and Teams XY" or something...that's why it's temporarly down...bloody russian hackers :roll:

I cant wait for the Kart game as well even though Blimey stated it will be "fun", so no sim in there apparently but I definitely want to play it.

The PS3 Ferrari game looks good but it is said to be arcadey...anyway I haven't bough a PS3 for GT so I doubt I will for any other game.

And yeah...Race Pro...13 tracks...that's light...FIA could cover well over 100 prestigious tracks but as I said they will make DLC, hopefully they wont ripp us off.

Good news though especially since we don't get any PGR/NFS stuff this fall.

Yeah was gonna say the GTR 360 page has been there a WHILE... Its all THQ's fault it didn't come out I reckon ;)
We shall just have to keep the faith and hope something comes out of SimBin that we can use and get the most out of.
It would be a VERY good addition to the BGT paddock of games :) The upcoming released will be reviewed and checked over as and when they do come out. See how good thy are and whether we might be able to incorporate them in some fashion... though I think we have been spoilt by T10 in the 'Online Racing' aspect so far. Nothing quite comes close.

Sadly I don't quite have a powerful enough laptop to run Race 07
GTR stretched it abit!!
Mind you this was top of the line in 2003! Not suprised it struggles these days lol.
hough from what I've seen Race07 is extremely good.

Exactly, it should have been published by THQ but it didn't happen.

We still have a lot to know about Race Pro, cars with power ranging from 200 to 1000hp...Veyron . :?: :?: :?:

Tell you what Monkey if it mean't sacrificing lots of cars for game content,ie: interactive pit stops,tyre compounds,qualifying , changeable weather,lots of official Tracks ,flags and penalties..........I'd be a very happy Clay !!

With the 360 controler, can you just plug it in the USB port, or do you need something to instal it?

I tried using the plug and play charge kit and the pc installed the driver software and says its working properly but the game doesn't detect it.I think you need to buy the wireless Pc adapter for the controller.I'll pick one up and give it a go.Not tonight though.
