The netKar Pro website has been updated with news that the game is now available for download. There's a couple mirrors already with more sure to come. The installer is 224MB and the game also requires the Microsoft .NET 2.0 runtime files. I'll try to post some screenshots and possibly a video of the game later tonight. For discussion about the new sim, hit up the forum at Race Sim Central.

The netKar Pro website was updated earlier today announcing a release date of April 10, 2006. It is also now possible to preorder the game at a price of 30 Euros or roughly 36 dollars USD. There's some new media available as well in the form of new screenshots and a promo video. The video shows off some of the pre-release accolades the game has received along with a few short clips of gameplay.

Or at least the virtual newsstands. After seeing the previous installment titled as the "January/February" issue, I was afraid they'd switched to a bi-monthly format but apparently I was wrong (shocker, eh?). The AutoSimSport crew always does a bang-up job with their e-zine and it's required reading for anyone even remotely interested in sim racing so be sure to give it a look. I've only had a chance to skim through it but there were a few tidbits that poked me in the eye, most notably the in depth preview of the highly anticipated netKar Pro. There's also plenty of reading for rFactor fans including coverage of the soon to be released Lienz Festival add-on and some info on the upcoming Aussie V8 mod by Team ORSM. Some other articles of interest in the latest issue include: Richard Burns Rally Online V2.0, SE Game's Kart Masters and the latest news surrounding Nascar Racing 2003 and Nascar Heat. It's a free download so go grab the latest issue from the AutoSimSport website.
