KartSim: Aussie made Karting Simulator

[kayman]

Recently I've been testing a game for a mate of mine and thought it might be of some interest to some of you on here, in particular anyone who partakes in go-karting as a hobby or sport.

The game is called KartSim, and upon launch in Q1 2012 will be loaded mainly with Australian tracks. The beta will out be for the public to test in mid December and will feature the Oakliegh Track in Victoria and will have a kart with the KT100S motor (clubman).

The physics are designed to be ultra-realistic, you can find out more about that at their website www.kartsim.com.

Here is some early footage (note there is actually a guy in the kart now, there isnt in the video).

What platform is the game going to be released on? The next door neighbour won one of the Australian Karting Championships this year (twins or super-heavy, something like that) and I reckon he might be interested.

KART RACING
Coming soon for the PC, with Xbox360 and PS3 versions in the pipeline, KartSim lets you race both online and offline against up to 30+ drivers on world class kart circuits. Choose a kart, choose a team, recruit other drivers and start racing at speeds of up to 160km/h, 20mm off the ground to earn points to qualify for KartSim’s Official World Championships; a biannual event with real prizes including kart chassis, engines, tyres and merchandise up for grabs!
REAL KARTS, REAL CIRCUITS, REAL DRIVERS
With the full circuit, kart and driver lists to be announced in the next few weeks, KartSim will feature all the major kart manufacturers and classes along with circuits from The Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe and the UK. Kart Clubs and Manufacturers can contact us here to discuss featuring in KartSim.
THE BEST LOOKING KARTING GAME YET
Built on the Unity engine, KartSim pushes the DirectX 9.0 based engine to its limit with superb photo-realistic visuals. With full day and night cycles, High Dynamic Range (HDR) Lighting and Full Screen Post Processing effects, KartSim sets the benchmark for PC based racing games. Check out our screenshots and videos from the game.
THE MOST ADVANCED TRAINING TOOL FOR KARTERS
Don’t be fooled by the AAA graphics; KartSim is the most advanced tool a kart driver can use to train with. Utilising real data and a proprietary physics engine written by the game’s developer, Zach Griffin, the kart will flex, hop, buck, and jack the inside rear wheel in exactly the same way a real kart does, through the use of a real-time FEM model to simulate the flex of the chassis.

He's opening up the beta for the public mid december. im pretty sure anyone would be able to download it.

to start with it will only be on pc. but he is looking to expand to 360 and ps3 further down the track.
