Game Stock Car 2013 is Now Extreme – 1.15 Update Released

Reiza Studios has released their 1.15 version update for Game Stock Car 2013, bringing a new car and two new tracks to the sim. In addition to the update, Game Stock Car 2013 has been rebranded as Game Stock Car Extreme.

The Formula V12 is a beast of a car, with a howling 12-cylinder engine. It takes a delicate right foot to control the 690 horsepower going to the rear wheels, and will provide a fun challenge to all.

Included with the car is Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, home of the Canadian Grand Prix. The update includes the 1988 layout of the track, which features some very high speed turns in addition to the tight hairpins and corners that makes the track a difficult but rewarding drive.

The Floripa Karting Circuit is also added,  bringing four different variations or your karting pleasure. With changes in the RFM files, you can also now race normal cars on kart circuits (and karts on normal circuits), but don’t expect the AI to work too well in those situations!

For more information about the various other updates to the title, you can check out the changelog at the bottom of this post. If you have Game Stock Car 2013 v. 1.10, you can use the GSC Sync utility, or if you have an older version, you can download the utility here. If you decide to go the manual download route, you can download the update in 5 parts (be aware, the GSC Sync method is around 3.5 GB, while the manual installer method totals over 5GB):
