Gameplay
[edit | edit source]GTR Evolution adds several new cars, such as Audi R8 or Koenigsegg CCX, and tracks including variants of Nürburgring.[4] Overall, the game has around 20 real-world tracks, along with different car variations separated in 12 classes.[5] There is a newly added Arcade mode, which doesn't include qualifying races.[6] The weather during the matches is dynamic, and can change from rain to sunlight.[7] A steering wheel with force feedback is supported with a number of customization settings (button assignments, strength of the feedback, dead zone, etc.). Each of the vehicles has individual characteristics that is visible while driving. As well as a cockpit view, a helmet perspective is used in some cases like Formula 3000.[8] After the installation, GTR Evolution can be played either as a standalone expansion or as a full game that contains Race 07.[9]
