Successful Start for GTR in Europe!
The new racing game reference is climbing to the top of the European charts
Darmstadt, Germany, March 22nd, 2005: As early as autumn 2004, the "GTR - FIA GT Racing Game" was able to convince the German-speaking trade press and all enthusiastic motorsports gamers of the high degree of reality displayed on the screen. This extraordinary success has now been continued with the official European release. Praise and commendations in gaming magazines resulted in numerous evaluations surpassing the 90% mark, and the sales success as such requires no further comment. Just one week after the release, GTR was able to score positions amongst the Top 3 in the PC charts in nearly all European countries!
Frank Holz, Marketing Director 10TACLE STUDIOS AG, is pleased with the outstanding success: "When we initially introduced GTR to the broad public at the Games Convention last year, we were already certain of having adapted a successful title to our portfolio which will set standards for the industry. The excellent feedback from all over Europe, be it from the players, the media or our distribution partners, still had absolutely overwhelmed us. Therefore we would like to take the opportunity to express our delight and gratitude for all the enthusiasm this has brought about, and we are also glad that we will be able to present with the "King of Ovals" another free GTR add-on soon to come."
