The Radiator Springs Racing Team has released a new preview video of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, the first-ever modding car for netKar Pro.

The video shows the Italian supercar in drift action at Zandvoort as the team is completing the beta tests with the car.

Kunos Simulazioni, creators of netKar Pro, have announced to be working on a brand new title that will be released in 2012.

Aside from netKar Pro that has been equipped with lots of new content & features during the past two years, Kunos Simulazioni’s technology has also powered Ferrari’s critically acclaimed Virtual Academy simulator and some other titles like the Singtel Race Simulator that was released back in 2008.

Mauro Delegà has finished the work on his impressive Imola 2010 for netKar Pro track project and announced the date of the upcoming release.

Starting next Thursday, all netKar Pro owners will be able to experience the Italian Grand Prix venue that has been built completely from scratch. To shorten the waiting time, below is a new preview video of the track.

After months of careful beta testing and tweaking, Kunos Simulazioni has released the final 1.3 version of their netKar Pro simulation.

The final version of version 1.3 comes with improved multiplayer code, a better collision model and a brand new Vintage Replica GT car with semi-slick tires.

Tomas Torasen has released the Nürburgring Nordschleife for netKar Pro, adding the world’s most challenging and dangerous race track to Kunos Simulazioni’s simulation.

Based on the excellent rFactor Nordschleife made by Com8, the netKar version comes with new textures and a smoothed & adjusted road surface to suit netKar Pro’s physics.

The track is included in the very atmospheric fall version, including both the tourist layout of the ring as well as the layouts used by the VLN series and the Nürburgring 24h race.

Below is a video showing a lap around the track in the Osella hillclimb prototype.
