Simbin has for a long time been a fixture of the sim racing community as the makers of some of the most recognizable racing titles ever made. GTR, GTR2, GT Legends, Race 07 and Raceroom are just some of those games. Recently Simbin has been in the news with rumors of bankruptcy, closing up shop or some form of restructuring. With that going on Shaun Cole of The Simpit was able to sit down via Skype with Jay Ekkel, the licencing manager for Simbin. They talk about the company, its past, its future and a little bit of general sim racing talk.
The company is going through some restructuring there is some great insider stuff in this interview.
Simbim has released a new update for Race 07 expansion RaceOn, available now to download for owners of the title on Steam. The update adds a correction to a specific vehicle’s weight/inertia, along with various other improvements, tweaks, and fixes.
Old school race cars have played a small but significant role in the history of racing games. Grand Prix Legends was a revolution in sim racing... and GT Legends created quite a stir within the modding community when it came out... But for the most part, classic vehicles are usually glossed over in favor of modern cars when a new game is released... Recently though, things have started to change.
I spent the late '70s and early '80s hammering around Euope in a Triumph TR7 Victory edition. I would love to see that car and others from that period, like the Opal GT and Fiat X19 (there was a really sharp Renault too, but its name/model escapes me now) added to one of the really good racing games.
