used to have some info but hasnt been online for some time now
:(
That's cos it's vapourware. Which doesn't mean it won't *eventually*
turn up, but most (not all) programs that are years late turn out to be
disappointments or worse (GP3, Daikatana, Battlecruiser 3000AD...).

Linked very clearly from the main empireinteractive site too. I had
gone there just a few months ago and couldn't find any info on the
game, so I *THINK* that info was just added to the site. Regardless,
it looks like the game is definitely a go, especially since Empire has
removed a bunch of stuff from their gamezone but WSC is still there.

I've only found one reference in google to the game being canceled and
it was a rumor posted on fatbabies.com. The PR exec from Empire
actually responded to the rumor:
-----
11/28 Empire Interactive Responds
Empire Interactive's PR Manager wrote in to dispell the 11/14 Rumor
about the cancellation of their World Sports Car racing game.
Dear Mr Fatbango
Just been reading the rumour re: the west racing game from Empire
Interactive. Mmmmm, interesting coz I didn't know anything about it
and I'm
the PR Manager!!!!
I've checked it out and this sroty appears to be false. Completely.
Dunno
where this came from but, for the record, World Sports Cars (please be
advised that this is still a working title and may change for the
final
product) IS being developed for PC, PS2 and X Box. It HASN'T been
canned for any of the afformentioned platforms and I've just sent some
screnshots out to the PS2 and X Box magazines for inclusion into their
2002 roundups!!! We never once mentioned that the game was too
sim-like. Hell, Empire has made a name for itself producing some of
the best selling and most respected flight sims around at the momend
(Battle of Britain, Apache Havoc anyone?) so it seems kinda daft that
a company best known for producing flight sims should get shirty about
a driving sim being too "realistic" dontcha think???
Anyway I was wondering, Mr Fatbango sir, whether you could print a
counter rumour to the effect that the original rumour was complete
bollocks??
Right then, I'll be off. Keep on diggin the dirt.
Cheers.

As for WSC, I'll believe it when I see it, I hope it get released
though, because even though I don't care much for WSC as such, it might
just be what the sim racing world needs and according to rumors they are
very open to the idea of 3rd party mods and what not, so maybe somebody
will turn it onto and AussieV8 sim....

BC3000 doesn't work on Win2000, so I never got to see it when I downloaded a few
months ago. :-(
