RACE Pro Reveals a New Track: Pau

RACE Pro always delivered as a solid physics based racer on the PC, and SimBin is transfering all of that quality racing to the consoles here in the Spring. Today, Atari and SimBin just put out a new video showing off the latest track for RACE Pro, Pau. Pau is a little town at the base of the Pyrinees Mountains in France, and as you can see from the the videos, it will provide a lot of excitement when it comes time to put the wheels to the pavement.

Pau is a road track that goes through the city of Pau. This means that all the roads are narrow and will cause havok in regards to passing other cars on the track. It should be a fan favorite when the game comes out. Check the jump for an overview of the track as well as a press release.

Circuit de Pau, located in South West France, is a 2.670km long city track. The circuit is laid out on the streets of the French town of Pau and is similar to the more famous Formula One Monaco Grand Prix track.

The first official race in Pau was held in 1901. Here, the difference between winning and disaster is measured in inches: get a little bit off line and you will be pin-balling along the guardrails in the Parc Beaumont. The typical crested tarmac of the Pau streets can be a real obstacle and run you off the road. To minimize this effect, set the car up with plenty of suspension travel.
