Reiza Studios: Copa Petrobras de Marca released (Free)

[Duke]

This is a must grab as it's not only free but it's also from Reiza Studios (Gamestock Car/Formulas Trucks) so it is sure to be very polished, even if it's based on the older ISI GMotor engine (rF1).

Reiza Studios has released the Brazilian Copa Petrobras de Marca touring car series game.
The series title sponsor Petrobras, offers this game as a free download for all gamers and racing fans out there.
This official Copa Petrobras de Marca game simulates all the wheel-to-wheel and bumper to bumper action of the Brazilian thin top series on 6 different circuits featuring venue’s such as Interlagos, Curitiba and Goiânia. Select your Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi or Ford, and start racing.

Reiza Studios Copa Petrobras de Marca Update v1.02 now available.

This update features some minor tweaks, and will correct some bugs that where causing crashes. The update also addresses the issue where cars would not show up for selection.
Just run Marcas Sync from the Marcas install folder to update from v1.01 to V1.02.

DucFreak has released a custom sound mod for Reiza Studio’s recently-released Game Petrobras de Marcas title.

This mod is an attempt to fix the issues with the detuned transitions/crossfades of the engine samples in the original game.
This means that, with this mod, the cars will sound same as in original game, just better tuned and harmonized.

I've also added a few internal FX samples of my own creation (done for another project), such as transmission-whine (was absent in the game), new road-roll noise and louder wind rush, to raise the audio immersion.

My intention with this was to use the most of what the game has, and introduce the least number of things as possible, while reinterpreting plenty of the game's audio parameters.
The original sounds in their basis are decent afterall. They just needed a little polish.
