Hi there!

When I released the car, my main goals was get some help in physics and sound and see the repercussion out there. Well, it worked. Very well. Plus I really felt surprised with the huge amount of page views and coverage about it, I mean, I’m completely new to sim racing (play GTR with a keyboard doesn’t count :P) and took some time to understand the importance in appear featured in some major sim-racing sites. No, I don’t feel like a Rock Star.

I’m very happy with the receptiveness and I hope you guys will enjoy it much more with the new physics and sounds made by Po Linii mod Team and KitrinosKat respectively, this guys did a amazing job here. I really liked it. I must leave here my big thanks and gratitude. And once again a big thanks to people who donated something, you guys make me cry go ahead! 😛

Oh yes, just for the record, now we have a new domain and G+ Page too 😀
