Game Stock Car 2013 by Reiza Studios is officially out now. This is without a doubt the best use of the ISI / rFactor engine to date. It’s now in it’s third year / generation and just keeps getting better. The graphics may be a little dated and the ability to only use three controllers is as well.. But.. You get one hell of a package here in GSC 2013 that’s well worth the price of admission. If you’re a Formula One fan, you know the name Rubens Barrichello.. Well, he’s a sim racer who plays GSC 2013.. Check out this video and if you need to, turn on the closed captioning if you don’t speak Portuguese.

The Cars
JL G-09
The JL G-09 model as raced by all teams in the series is made of a tubular chassis, covered by fiber glass bodywork shaped as a Chevrolet Sonic or Peugeot 408 car models, both with identical performance. Powered by a V8 engine with 520 HP, 6-speed transmission and total weight rounding up to 1320 kg, the car can reach speeds of up to 270 km/h.
Includes “push –to-pass” system: Just like in the real series, the player can configure a button to boost the engine power in 50 HP for a few seconds, in order to assist overtaking other cars.
Opala Stock Cars
A classic from the brazilian autoracing scene, the Opala is the original Stock Car, with a 6-cylinder engine providing 220 HP as it were in the first few years of the series, with minimum racing preparation.
Mini Challenge
The most charming series in the world! With 210 HP, 1150kg and front wheel drive, these small cars can reach 240 km/h and are perfect for close door-to-door racing.
Camaro SS
Chevrolet´s famous sports car is the safety car for Stock Car Brasil. With 400 HP and 1800kg can hit 250 km/h, offering the thrils of driving a high performance street car.
Formula Reiza
With 750 HP, only 620kg and gobs of downforce, the Formula Reiza is capable of hitting 350 km/h and simulates the peak of technology and performance in worldwide autoracing.
Formula Classic
Inspired on the classic Grand Prix race car, weighing 540kg and powered by a turbo engine of 650 HP, the Formula Classic is a viscerally exciting driving experience.
Copersucar Fittipaldi FD04
GSC2013 celebrates the great brazilian adventure from the Fittipaldi brothers with their own Formula 1 team carrying their name. As a part of the “Formula Retro” series, this is the car that Emerson qualified fifth in his first outing for the team, at the Brazilian Grand Prix of 1976.
Formula 3 F309
The main driver development series has cars of 225 HP and 550kg, capable of 250 km/h, ideal for close single-seater racing.
Kart
Karting is considered even by the most reputed racing drivers as the most exciting racing style there is, and in GSC2013 you will learn why!
The Game includes 125cc karts, with direct and 6-speed shifter variants. It also includes two temples of brazilian karting – Granja Viana and Interlagos, with several alternative layouts.
The tracks
Besides all main brazilian race tracks, GSC2013 includes two kart tracks and the most detailed representation of the historical Interlagos circuit in its original configuration.
You can get the title for only $24.90 and it’ll be one of the best sim racing purchases you’ve made. Go HERE to check it out
