  1. Race 07 is an amazing simulation that pushes the PC to the limits.
  2. Functional graphics belie an exciting and sophisticated racing title with plenty of under-the-bonnet tweaks, since last year's effort. [Dec 2007, p.60]

    The game will pay for itself many times over for the hardcore sim fan who treats these games as an investment in a sim racing career. But a title like this is not as likely to win over a casual racer, because little was done to cultivate new hardcore sim racing fans here.
  4. Its fortunes rely on satisfying a burgeoning community of simulation racers, for whom authenticity is the top priority, and in that respect it’s a success. [Dec 2007, p.94]

    I have played GTR 2, rfactor, and live for speed and for me, Race 07 is the best sim for handling. With the others once your back end moves that is it but with Race 07 you can correct just like in real life. This shows in the racing which is close and compettitive. For me it is the best yet and I am looking forward to the full game. Expand

    WOW what a game great racng and so real , great job Simbin . Love the tracks and cars great detail. This game is #1 thanks for making it.
  3. Only for die hard racing fans. I mean, yes, there are all kinds of assists in this game but let`s be frank. No arcade kiddy will try this game more than once. The graphics are outdated and never look as good as in the trailers showed by Simbin. There is no career style play like say SHIFT, GT or FM. It`s just racing : season, time attack and multiplayer. Even for an experienced gamer, this game can get really hard at times. It is as realistic as it gets. You won`t do drifting here as much as slamming into a concrete wall. Offline play doesn`t give much incentive to go on, though there are plenty of nice tracks and cars to drive on and in. This game really shines in online leagues, where other sim racing fans gather. You can tune the car to hell and back. The interiors are well made. The sounds are very good and immersive.If you ever wanted to see how it is to drive a WTCC car and don`t own one, this is the closest thing to it. Expand

    Race 07 is an interesting title, but its engine starts to look to old. New tracks are beautiful to see, old ones some times are simply outdated. AI and damage system need major improvement: by now it's quite sad to see half of the car crashing at turn1 under heavy rain... At least the game is good to drive and seems to have a very good online code, but it needs big improvements in all the other aspects. Let's hope for some patches. Expand
