GTR – FIA GT Racing Game is a sports car racing simulator developed by SimBin Studios (later Sector3 Studios) for the x86 PC. An Xbox version was announced very early on, but never materialized. In April 2006, an Xbox 360 version was announced. The Xbox 360 version of the game was to be published by THQ. However, THQ later announced they would no longer be working together with Simbin on the title. Race Pro was released for the Xbox 360 in February 2009.
As a racing simulator, it attempts to recreate real-world physics as accurately as possible, rather than exaggerating speed and handling abilities for the sake of easier gameplay. Some games that compare to the realism featured in GTR include Grand Prix Legends, Live for Speed and F1 Challenge. It has a full license from the FIA for their GT championship, so it features the original FIA GT Series cars and courses. All tracks were constructed from satellite data to improve accuracy, and the developers were helped by many teams in the GT- and NGT-classes. The game engine produces and outputs telemetry data in a format that is usable by the telemetry software i2 by MoTeC—a software tool used by real racing teams.
The game has three modes, one with full realism and the two others with reduced levels of realism for intermediate players and newcomers. The user is provided with a great deal of control over the setup of the car, e.g. dampers, springs, anti-roll bars, gear ratios, wings and brake pressure can be adjusted in detail.
Although the user is allowed to map the controls to e.g. a keyboard or joystick/gamepad, a wheel/pedal set is really a requirement for a complete racing experience. GTR fully supports the TrackIR device. StarForce copy protection is used to prevent illegal copies of the game from being produced.
