RACE Refuels With Caterham Expansion

The creators of the GTR racing simulation series from SimBin are gearing up for their next release, not surprisingly a driving title once again. In little over a month from now, they plan to expand last year's RACE: The WTCC Game with its first add-on, called Caterham. As the title implies, this will be dedicated to the classic sportscars made by the Caterham-based British manufacturer, who this year celebrates 50 years of production of the famous Lotus / Caterham 7 model.

RACE: Caterham will give fans a total of 60 individual new cars / car skins based on some of the most exciting models of the Caterham sports car range - such as the Caterham CSR 200, CSR 260 or the CSR 320 Concept, the later being a concept version with a grueling 320hp - plus two new tracks: the legendary circuit of Imola and the former GP-track of Estoril. You can find more info about all of these on the expansion's website, and see some screenshots in our local gallery.

Furthermore, RACE: Caterham will add new functions that also affect the original RACE game, including improved performance scalability, a performance monitor to help the player find the best possible graphical settings and a new controller interface with more options.

For those who already have the original game, the Caterham expansion pack will be available for purchase through digital download (via Steam), while newfound fans will be able to buy a two-disc bundle at retail, containing both the original game and the expansion. According to the official website, publisher Eidos plans to release Caterham on June 22, 2007.
