The creators of some critically acclaimed racing games, SimBin, has announced Women and Wheels- the first women-only Esports car racing competition. The competition will launch this coming fall season and the questions we have for our female colleagues and gamers, does this help or hurt the persona of a female gamer? Please give us your thoughts.
The October update will add the WTCC 2013 pack to the title, including five different Super200 WTCC racing cars from BMW, Honda, Lada, Seat & Chevrolet.
Furthermore, the new update will also add the title’s first pass at time of day selection as players will be able to choose from different time of day presets. The new version will also add the possibility to “test drive” additional content before it needs to be bought on the R3E content store.
Also, the new update will introduce a feature that will automatically set realistic wheel range & steering lock values for all cars, players are of course free to tweak the settings to their individual liking as well.
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.
