GTR – FIA GT Racing Game is a sports car racing simulator developed by SimBin Studios AB(later Sector3 Studios) and published by 10tacle Publishing for the x86 PC. Simbin has also released an "add-on pack" called "Kings of Ovals" which contains a set of new oval-style tracks.[2] A sequel, GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game, was released in 2006.

Reception[edit]

GameSpot said: "Despite its blemishes, GTR is the breath of fresh air this genre so badly needed". They awarded the game a score of 8.8 (Great).[3] IGN.com also praised the game: "Big claims come close to reality". IGN.com gave a score of 8.5 (Great).[4]

GTR won PC Gamer US's "Best Racing Game 2005" award. The magazine's Andy Mahood wrote: "With its licensed field of exotic sports and GT machines, exquisitely rendered European circuits, and outstanding vehicle physics, GTR advanced the technology of racing simulations to hitherto unseen levels".[5] It was also a runner-up for Computer Games Magazine's list of the top 10 computer games of 2005.[6]
