Yes, this is true,
sim racing fans. If you’re into this game genre on PC
for a long time you will recognize the SimBin name and will remember
of titles like GTR2, RACE 07 and GT Legends, which somehow are still
alive thanks to their modding community and popular game modes, but the new SimBin
will be really different from what we’ve known from more than 10 years ago.
It’s known from
the community that SimBin closed its doors in 2014, but since then
their former employees founded Sector3
Studios, which is now responsible for
RaceRoom Racing Experience
and its expansion packages. The new SimBin will be located far away
from the original one, setting its roots in England under the lead of
Allan Speed,
who has experience from Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe and
Route 1 Games. The focus of the renewed studio will be on
cross-platform gaming with racing coming in first place, pretty much
unlike Sector3’s PC-only focus into R3E.
What is still
unclear now is how the SimBin plans will have an effect in Sector3
and RaceRoom, as the title is still pretty popular and is having its
occasional influx of new content, be it in form of cars or tracks.
Aston Martin Racing driver Mathias Lauda
comes to SimBin to give an insight and to give support in their
projects, but it would be too early to indicate if they would go to
GT racing like in the GTR days or if they will incorporate other
motorsport classes or even something from outside the race tracks in
their future games.
