netKar Pro v1.0.3 Review [17-02-2009 | DH | Comments (0) ]
In spring 2006 netKar PRO was released after several delays and years of waiting. Like some Italian supercars, it looked and felt brilliant with beautiful graphics and hitherto unprecedented high fidelity physics. Add to that a new depth to the racing simulation genre including having to operate switches in the interactive cockpit, removing visor tear-offs to clear visibility, change tires when flat spotted, allowing the mechanics time to effect repairs in the full realism mode and taking care of many more features, it was like a new dawn for racing simulation enthusiasts.
