Race 07 is a racing simulator computer game from SimBin Studios (later Sector3 Studios and KW Studios). The game is the sequel to the 2006 title Race – The Official WTCC Game. Like the original Race, the title is officially licensed by the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC).

Race 07 features more than 300 cars in nine different racing classes. Race 07 includes the full 2006 and 2007 seasons of the FIA World Touring Car Championships (FIA WTCC) as well as 8 more classes on 14 tracks from all over the world.

Multiplayer is only available with installation of the Steam client and registration for an account with Steam.

The game was moderately-well received by critics. IGN stated that the game was "not as likely to win over a casual racer, because little was done to cultivate new hardcore sim racing fans here". PC Format, Eurogamer, Boomtown and PTGamers all agreed that "visuals aren't the main attraction of the game", while PC Zone criticized the AI and crash damage. GameShark and AceGamez praised the game's longevity.

Race On is an expansion pack to RACE 07 developed by SimBin Studios (later Sector3 Studios and KW Studios) and adds the 2008 World Touring Car Championship season, the International Formula Master series and some American muscle cars in both road and race-tuned versions to RACE 07. It was released internationally on October 16, 2009. It is available as a stand-alone game including Race 07 as well as its previous expansion pack STCC - The Game (which was only released as a boxed copy in Scandinavia) and as an add-on pack to those who already have Race 07 and/or STCC - The Game.

Race On received mixed reviews, scoring a Metacritic average of 73%.

IT Reviews commented that "Race On is a good value for money package, with a colossal number of cars and tracks on offer if you've not got the original game", but also added that for those who already own Race 07, all the players get is "new muscle cars to play around with, and the Swedish championship", which makes it a "slightly less compelling purchase for them".^[6]

PC Gamer magazine in the UK agreed broadly with this: "It's not bad value if you're new to Race 07, but is perhaps a raw deal for those who own the base game".
