GTR – FIA GT Racing Game is a sports car racing simulator developed by SimBin Studios AB (later Sector3 Studios and KW Studios) and published by 10tacle Publishing for the x86 PC.

GTR won PC Gamer US's "Best Racing Game 2005" award. The magazine's Andy Mahood wrote: "With its licensed field of exotic sports and GT machines, exquisitely rendered European circuits, and outstanding vehicle physics, GTR advanced the technology of racing simulations to hitherto unseen levels".[5] It was also a runner-up for Computer Games Magazine's list of the top 10 computer games of 2005.[6]
