To say that a company will not spend all that money on rights just to go and
make a game arcadish is just BS. They would put Nascar on a poison bottle if
it sold. Take all the driving games on the market and I would say that the
over whelming majority are "arcade". Most people unlike ourselves want a
pedal to the metal game. Arcade out sells sims any day, look at GPL it is
the best auto sim in the world and it was a marketing failure. To be good at
a sim racing game you must be a little fanatical (look at us, we're
discussing it on a news group!). Most people don't give a shit about this
kind of stuff. They want to start up the PC and just drive, no screwing
around with set ups or finding the breaking points on a track. They just
want to drive Schueys (or Ernhart or whom ever) car real fast. I'm not
saying that this new game won't be good but we will hold our collective
breaths until we see hard evidence. I hope you are right. And speaking of
intelligence I'll quote you, "A company wont go out and buy the expensive
rights to something like F1 and just go and make an arcadish game out of it,
oh except OF1R" how do your feet taste?
