    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 New tracks are beautiful to see, old ones some times are simply outdated.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 Race 07 is an interesting title, but its engine starts to look to old.

    Compared to GTR1+2 and GTL, in Race 07 the cars' handling is somewhat arcadeish. Maybe it's because most of them are FWD but even RWD cars like the E90 are not too challenging. I would compare Race 07's Pro mode to GTRx's amateur mode at best - great if you want a good start into real race simulations, but enthusiasts and pros definetely will miss the final grain of Compared to GTR1+2 and GTL, in Race 07 the cars' handling is somewhat arcadeish.

    This is likely where Papyrus would be, had the company survived -- and that says a ton.

    I really do like Race 07: Official WTCC Game. In the modern group of racers, it's a breath of fresh air to find a game that does exactly what it says it will on the box. A wealth of options, tonnes of cars and enough tracks to keep even hardcore racers busy for months, coupled with a true feeling of real driving gives Race 07 something that no other racer has.

    Hardcore racing-sim fans will get the most out of this game. For the arcade-racing crowd or casual gamer, the tedious logistics of practice sessions and qualifying rounds may be too much to handle.
