Virtual Racing Industries has officially launched their 1:8 buggy class today!
 
Press Release by Virtual Racing Industries:
 
It has been a long wait but they are here: 1:8 scale nitro buggies. It has taken our development team over a year to come up with a nitro buggy that is as close to the real thing as can be. With the help of world class buggy racers David Ronnefalk, David Joor and Ricardo Rabitti plus our valued beta testing team, our physics specialist Todd “Doc” Wasson has been able to develop the buggy from scratch to a responsive and realistic behaving nitro buggy.

To support the animated suspension and steering, new technology had to be developed to render all these parts in real time without killing the frame rate. Tony West has come up with a photo-realistic modeled chassis, the NX-8, and a host of generic and branded components from Proline, BittyDesign, Avid and AKA. More chassis and components will follow in the future upon request of manufacturers.

4 Brand new tracks are released today as well, Psycho Nitro Blast 2012, Speed Paradise Buenos Aires, IBR Padova Italy and the IFMAR WC version of Silver Dollar in California. All are masterpieces of realism by Tony West, made possible by the reference material provided by track owners and collaborates. A big thanks to them for allowing us to present their tracks in VRC Pro for you to enjoy. World renowned tracks which most of you would normally not be able to race on in real life!
