    Hi,
    GTR2 has recently got very much of a revival with Crew Chief and VR support, when it was discovered that the Steam version (accidentally?) has plugin support included in the compilation.
    Personally I prefer Race 07, because of the better looking materials and the touring car focus.
    I have worked on different addon mods for the game for many years, with mods like Super Touring, BTC-T, STCC/TTA, Volvo vs SAAB and many fixes and updates for other cars that make the ai more equal to player cars called "tinytweaks".

    Would it be possible to compile a new version of Race 07 with plugin imports enabled?
    Please, please, it would be very appreciated:hearteyes::hearteyes:

    Also I have heard that there were working animated pitcrews in the game, but they were not included because they took too much processing power.
    Would it be possible to also include this now when computers are much faster, and it could be turned off for those who have slower computers? If that would be too much work I would appreciate to be able to use a pitbox.gmt like in rfactor.

    I hope you want help us (the Race 07 fans :wink:) to keep this old classic game alive!

    Sincerely,

    AndreasFSC

    That would be great addition to VR sims and using Race 07 with Crew Chief for that matter

    Sector 3 dont do anything with the older simbin games , i would suggest contacting Raceroom as they own all the back catalogue of the old Simbin studios

    Maybe private messaging a dev or two would be more productive. You never know one or two may still have an interest or give you a pointer to some anonymous info posted online that may help you ;) They may not be in a position to help publically, but who knows privately!!!

    This isnt a sector 3 staff thing , sector 3 develops r3e , all developement on race 07 is finished , there is no point tagging devs here , just go find the race 07 lobby is down post here and see how long it takes to get it turned back on , and thats generaly because i shake the raceroom ppl , not the sector 3 guys ...

    I'll try to write something to them, it'snot very likely I'll get any good response, but at least I can say I tried then :)

    Mr Belowski of Crew Chief is probably the person you want to contact for that Plug-in.

    Ok, i thought or was under the impression for whatever reason that quite a few of the staff here were remnants of the Simbin\Race series, ah well, dudes shit outta look here then ;)

    Isn't there an XD plugin that works with Race 07? Could that be used as a base for the Crew Chief mod plugin?
