After a decade of track triumphs with the C5-R and C6.R GT1 , the birth of the C6.R GT2 in 2009 represented a slight departure from the proven methodology developed by General Motors and Pratt & Miller.

The change, effectively forced by the widespread replacement of the GT1 category with a unified GT class containing GT2′s stringent homologation requirements, resulted in a racing Corvette that was more closely related to its road-going cousins than any of its recent predecessors.

The third generation of Mitsubishi’s high-performance flagship model arrived in 1995.

Like its two predecessors, the Evo III was produced exclusively for the Japanese market. However, since the original Evo’s launch in 1992, the car had built up such a reputation that it had become a staple commodity in the thriving “gray import” market.

The first true superstar of the WRC era, the Lancia Stratos built on the success of its predecessor, the Fulvia , and helped to establish a glorious rallying dynasty for the marque.

Sculpted by celebrated Italian designer Marcello Gandini, its roots can be traced back to the Stratos Zero concept car, which was exhibited at the Turin Motor Show in 1970. However the mud-slinging monster that eventually emerged to terrorize WRC rivals in the mid-70s bore little resemblance to its fantastical forebear.

The Ford GT-R is a GT2 racing variant of the Ford GT , which was first produced in 2003 in honor of the iconic Ford GT40 that had triumphed in four consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans events in the 1960s.

Created by Ohio-based Doran Enterprises in 2008, the GT-R’s raison d’être also mimicked that of its flower-powered predecessor: to end the track domination of grand European marques like Ferrari and Porsche.

The eighth generation of Mitsubishi’s ultra-successful high-performance car was released in 2003.

When the first generation had been in production way back in the early 1990s the decision had been made to only supply the “Evo” to the Japanese market.

However unprecedented international interest and sustained demand in the “gray import” sector forced the company to rethink its strategy.

SimRaceway presents the Renault 5 Turbo.

Developed for the dirt, the Renault 5 Turbo was brought to life primarily to take back Renault’s rallying primacy from Lancia, whose purpose-built Stratos had left its WRC representatives, the Alpine A110 and Renault 17 Gordini , choking in its dust in the mid-1970s.

After looking at different pricing models inhouse and externally SimRaceway has decided how to create their price tags.Allot has been said, and numerous discussions have been held about the pricing of the SimRaceway vehicles.

SimRaceway decided to explain the theory behind the price setting on their blog page.

Allan McNish discusses with John Hindaugh ( who you may know From Radio LeMans) just how well Simraceway’s virtual Audi R18 holds up to the rigors of actually racing the vehicle.

As it turns out, it holds up pretty darn well according to these two gentlemen.

Produced in collaboration with—and manufactured by—the Yamaha Motor Corporation, the launch of the limited-production, race-bred Toyota 2000GT in 1967 marked a watershed in the automotive industry’s perception of Japanese-made cars, proving that worthy rivals to the likes of the Porsche 911 could emerge from outside Europe.

The first seriously collectable car to emerge from Japan, the 2000GT’s E-Type -esque looks weren’t its only stand-out feature. It was also the first Japanese production car to benefit from all-round power-assisted front and rear disc brakes and a limited slip differential.
