RACE07 – FIA GT Addon Coming?

Back in October last year, I reported that an Italian online magazine mentioned a possible expansion pack for Simbin’s RACE07 which may or may not include the N??rburgring Nordschleife. Just as we were all forgetting about this thing, some new indication about a possible expansion pack surfaces, dug up by users in the RSC forums.

1) Play.com lists a RACE07 Add-On to be released on 28/03/2008 for the price of 14.99 British Pounds

2) The following image can be found on Simbins site:

As you can see, the banner features the BMW 320si and the Formula 3000 car known from RACE07. The yellow car on the left is the Carsport Holland Corvette C5-R, the green car is the factory Aston Martin DBR9. Both these GT1 cars raced in the 2005 FIA GT season.

The 2005 season was to be featured in Simbin’s GTR for XBOX360 which has been rumored to be scraped after publisher THQ dropped the game last year. Now, I am just letting my imagination swing wild but as I see it, a FIA GT addon for RACE07 is somewhat of a logical possibility. If Simbin really had to give up the XBOX360 project, the work on the cars would go to waste. It would be a smart choice to soften the financial blow by selling it as part of a RACE07 addon.

What other content would there be for a potential addon? With that release date, the 2008 FIA WTCC season is out of the question. The WTCC is still planning to hold an exhibition race on the N??rburgring Nordschleife so that may be it too. But would most people be willing to pay 15 pounds for a single track?
