It is a great honour and a privilege to post this announcement.

It's been a long adventure developing Power&Glory. We started working on the first demo and v1 back in late 2006 and we continued working hard through version 2 and then on version 3 from March 2009. That's a lot of time for a free mod and we had many issues that are common and many modding teams face these days, lack of free time, real world issues, voodoo type of issues, lack of more team members, you name it we had faced them.

That said, thank you to all of those keeping the team together during those difficult periods and everybody who kept with the team till the end as much as they could.

Thank you to all the people who were part of the team and left for whatever reason, but helped during the development, further we thank GPLR for hosting our private forums, Nogripracing and SRMZ for the official forums, the beta testers and everyone that helped along the way. Sorry if we missed anyone or did not include them in the credits that is in-game.

We never gave up and what you're about to download is the result of pure passion for simracing, admiration for vintage real racing and respect for our Motorsport heroes.

A total mod of 2.30+ GB of compressed data, and over 3.9GB when installed, featuring completely redesigned User Interface, 59 aud sound configuration files and 1153 sound files made from scratch, 373 .car files with tons of skins and history described, 199 .hdc specific physics files, you'll find it difficult to drive to identical cars, 125 .tyr different tire files all balanced and proportioned to one another, in-game setup tire help manuals, improved collisions and multiplayer, improved force feedback and tons of incredible details on the 3D models and skins of the cars, every one of it painstakingly documented and verified from homogenization papers, era magazines, books original service manuals and help from mechanics of the era and actual drivers.

Without further ado we are informing all P&G fans that the P&Gv3.0 development has come to the end! A monumental amount of work, free for you to download, drive and immerse yourself a bit in the lives of our 60s and 70s driving heroes.

(05/October/2013): We have released a v3.1 patch/updater for P&G, make sure you get it too! :)

Enjoy! :drive1:

P&G v3 Download at GTLW site!!!!!!


EDIT: if you're having troubles during or after installation of P&G v3.0, please have a look at this thread.
If the solutions provided there didn't work for you, please post in that thread, exposing your issue.

Ah, well, there goes my plan of going to bed early... (GMT+1 timezone here!). Unless I don't manage to download it today - but then I won't be able to fall asleep anyway :D.

One way or another, I'm very happy that you guys did it! Thanks a lot and... I hope we'll see next iteration of the mod, somewhere in the future, for GTR3!

All files downloaded successfully, deleted P&G2.1 and 2, but when I come to the installation it comes to an abrupt stop (apparently) about 4/5 though with the attached message.
Looking at the items above what can be seen on the attachment, I think that I may have added some tracks to the original install of GTR2 Could it be that the GTR2 installation could be causing problems ?
If so I will have to wait a couple of months, because I do not have my GTR2 disc until I return home :-(

Paddy, I would suggest checking your downloaded files.  Ari created a file checker for that purpose.  More info here https://www.nogriprac...863&postcount=2

Guys, if you're having troubles during or after installation of P&G v3.0, then please have a look at this thread first.

We're trying to assist everybody, case to case, but we've seen the problems are usually the ones pointed in that thread.

Just remind me because I am not sure.Do you just require the gtr2 game to use this mod.Ihave gtr2 and gt legends but unfortunately my pc won't quite run gtr2 smoothly enough (Graphics nvidia go 7300 dedicated,win vista 32 bit,1024 ram,1.73 ghz processor) but would love to run power & glory.

Can I download it and save it for my new future racing pc build :thanks:

Figured out the online, for anyone who is having issues getting a invalid serial number, just re-register your serial using a new name.
