    10TACLE STUDIOS and Blimey! Games Announce Next-Gen Racing Title Based on New License.​

    10TACLE STUDIOS' London branch, Blimey! Games, has started development on a next-gen racing title, utilising the official Ferrari license.​

    10TACLE STUDIOS AG have signed a license agreement for the development of video games with Ferrari, a world leader in automotive excellence. The concept and realisation will be done by 10T's London studio, Blimey! Games. The team who employs many of the talents behind the award winning games “GTR - FIA GT Racing Game”, “GT Legends” and the current racing reference “GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game” is now working on this all-new title focusing exclusively on Ferrari's finest automobiles throughout history.

    "It is a tremendous opportunity to be able to develop a game under the Ferrari licence, the world's finest car manufacturer. I’m sure that our project will bring home the rich racing heritage and pedigree that has earned them a place in history and our dreams." says Ian Bell, CEO of Blimey! Games. "We will strive hard to create a product that honours the Ferrari brand and image of style, sophistication and raw speed."

    "The Blimey! Games developers are one of the most talented team in this segment worldwide and of course we would like to support such a big brand with the best possible product quality. The attention to detail and thorough understanding of motorsport as evidenced by their previous work shows that we have definitely chosen the best team to distill the spirit of Ferrari into a racing experience which will be both deep and exhilarating." says Frank Holz, Marketing and Sales Director 10TACLE STUDIOS AG.

    So, anyone else excited about driving a Ferrari F1 car with realistic physics?

    Judging from the other racing games that have come out with, this one will be on the PC only. No XBOX360 or PS3.

    The fact that they got the Ferrari license is 1 year old, but the screenshots are new.. WOW! Best thing about it is that Blimey/10tacle are hardcore sim racers, the physics and everything will be the best you can get. No "let's buy a license and make a cheap game around it" stuff, I'm sure this will be a new benchmark for sim racing realism.

    IIRC, the game will feature dozens of cars from the fifties up to today...

    my gfx card is nothing special. you dont need one that is too flashy to run rfactor smoothly, and you can get a decent one very cheap these days... DO IT!! the sounds are just too sexual :p

    Right now, obviously PC. However, there might be a PS3 & X360 version later on.

    As far as I know, the graphic engine for the Ferrari sim will be completely new. The M3 Challenge engine is the one from GTR2.

    Even the M3 Challenge game is "dumbed down" and not close to GTR2 with all the eye candy turned up.

    This game is going to be awesome!

    Cool beans! I am glad it will be a PC game. Hate the Klutzy UI in PS2/XBOX.

    Yep. Just from looking at the screenshots above, it's obvious that 10tacle is making sure its graphics evolve with the physics like they should.

    GT Legends is spectacular, IMHO.

    This upcoming "Ferrari Challenge" will be undoubtedly worth the wait!

    Looks awesome. I played GTR2 a lot.

    I just hope the damage model is more realistic than todays games. I can't stand racing games in that area. You should be able to absolutely demolish a car just as if it was real. I hate seeing a car hitting a wall at 100MPH...it just pops the hood/facia, bends a wheel, and has some crappy smoke/fire effects. I WANT EXPLOSIONS AND CARNAGE! :)
