To capture the sheer noise of real championship racing and put players at the starting line, TOCA Race Driver 2006 's audio engineers have developed a new sound system. Providing phenomenal depth of sound and a level of clarity never before heard on a racing game, the new system will deliver 40 times the audio assets, per vehicle, over TOCA 2.
While other driving games have claimed to have perfectly “recorded” a car noise, it's the playback that's important to get the realistic sounds of a real race day. TOCA Race Driver 2006' s system actually brings out specific racing sounds from pushing the throttle, engine revs, exhaust and more, and mixes them into the game to create the thunderous noise of a racing event.
TOCA Race Driver 2006 will also have an enhanced rendering engine to make the game even more visually rich and graphically detailed. New features include normal mapping to add to the detail of the cars and environments, such as rumble strips, road surface, barriers, shut lines, filler caps and vents on the cars; multi-textured surfaces to bring spectacular effects to track objects, circuits and new postproduction effects; and enhanced depth of field and motion blur. Most importantly, the racing action will zip along at a super-smooth 60 frames-per-second, even with up to 21 cars in high-speed competition on screen at once!
TOCA Race Driver 2006 gives racing fans the most authentic motor sport racing experience to date. Additional features for the true racing expert include the game's Pro Career mode, featuring seven different career paths, each specializing in an individual motor sport discipline including GT, Off Road, Touring Cars, Historic, Open Wheel, Rally and Oval.
