yeah, you can get it by paying 10 euros for a monthly build or like 20 euros for a bi weekly build of the game.

we are not helping test the game. we are financing the proyect.

Yes, that's the idea. It's a community project, people pay, then make mods, sell them, make profit. I can see this being the number one sim on the market eventually. Looks promising!

In the beginning it's an investment in the development of C.A.R.S.

After a year when the game is finished every one can download the game for free and pay a little fee for ad-ons.

It looks nice

Ah I see, makes more sense now, thanks

Looks good, but this is from the makers of NFS Shift 1 & 2. Every possible racing mode covered = nothing done properly.

And that ****ing drifting is everywhere! I hate it, good to see that you are not forced to play it "players to carve out a career starting in the karting
world and progress to a specialization of their choice..."

I hope that I'm wrong and this turns out to be a good game.

I didn't realize that Pit Stops were so exciting.

Ask Jenson Button, he had one exciting one this year! : D

That's a really bad name for a simulator, I thought this was a Disney game.

Looks like a good replacement for TOCA3, everything from rally to open wheelers.

Anyone playing this game yet? I am thinking of buying it.

that car model looks amazing! DX11! anyone know if GTR3 will support DX11?

Hi guys. I paid the £10 for monthly builds and it's already surprisingly playable for a pre-alpha. Feels similar to Shift at first but the handling is already more sim-like. Graphics are already super nice. Karting is great, it's going to be really really fun online

It's really cool to be able to play each monthly build and see how the project is progressing. I think we're supposed to get some money back if it sells 1m copies or something, not sure.

The plan is to have all kinds of different cars. So far we've got karts, super cars (Gumpert Apollo), GT3 and GT1 type of things and Formula 3000 type of things. And old school open wheelers.

There are already a few proper karting tracks which are great fun. There's rudimentary AI too which is fun to mess about with but they crash a lot.
