Now that Nascar 4 is out, I was wondering what the next major Sim Racing
release is, in anybodys opinion. I know that WSC is supposed to be major, but
is anything special due out before that game finally gets released. Also, there
must be some other great Sim due out after WSC finally makes its debut, has
anyone heard of any rumours, or is WSC the be all end all sim for the next few
years.

"Next," given the difficulties that can arise in
software development, is a bit hard to pin down.
<g>

I am personally looking forward to Leadfoot (Q2),
Paris-Dakar (Q2), Master Rallye (Q3) and Historic
Rally Trophy (Q4).

And WSC whenever it finally ships.

I'm sure EA has F12001 in the works. Apart from that and WSC I can't
think of anything else I'm really interested in getting.

  F1RC from ubi or eidos  I can't keep those companies separate in my
head.  Gorgeous graphics...I'm a little leary of the demo but it should
be interesting....I'm not sure there will be a F1 2001 since I seem to
recall
John Bodin or somebody saying the team is starting now from a completely
fresh sheet of paper....F12k was, after all, an upgraded scgt in many
respects.
they may need more than 6 months to get their next product out the door.
  Leadfoot the Stadium off-road sim should be buckets o fun.

F1RC by Ubi Soft. May very well be the best yet.

From http://www.imagespaceinc.com/final/ISInews.htm :

Image Space Inc. has its sites set on the F1 2001 season. Along with EA
sports Image Space will push the already smash hit F1 2000, into the next
season with better features and a more advanced AI and driver components.

Looks like there's going to be a F12001, but that note has been on their
site for months so I'm not sure.

Could be... speaking of Crammond and co: wasn't there some sort of official
add-on / season update for GP3 supposed to be released right about now?

True about your first sentence.  I doubt it can equal N4 or GPL, still.
Perhaps the best modern F1 sim, but I don't expect anything else of what I
saw.

About the only "major" released in 2001 are N4, WSC, F1RC and Leadfoot imho.

Every other title is a "minor" simracing release with very small ammount of
current information and PR marketing, yet are titles that could perhaps be a
surprise hits like MBTR was in 2000.

Probably GT3 on the Playstation 2.

Yup, I heard some news that it's supposed to come out in the middle of
the year. I'm not sure where I read it, though.

I very much suspect the game will turn out to be just a graphics demo with no
simulational content at all. Three of the introduction text's four
chapters rant about the "state-of-the-art 3D engine", whereas the physical
modelling is only mentioned in one tiny subordinate clause.
