Wow, that looks like good news!!
Don't know anything about the game design as such, but I can tell you that
Professional SportsCars are the ones that race at Daytona (24hrs!!),
Sebring(12hrs), and all around the U.S. and at Mosport, Canada.
There are a couple of classes that comprise PSC - hopefully they will ALL be
included in the game!
- World Sports Car - these are similar to the European FIA GT series
(formerly WEC)
- GT Series - these are (modified!) production models
GTS-1: Eligible cars include Oldsmobile Aurora, Porsche 911 Turbo,
Callaway C7R, Dodge Viper GTS-R.
GTS-2: Eligible cars include Callaway Corvette, Ford Mustang, Ferrari
550 Maranello.
GTS-3: Features slower cars such as Mazda RX-7, BMW, Nissan, etc.
- Speedvision Cup - Showroom stock series
These are the main series (there are a few others such as Ferrari Challenge,
Toyota Cup, etc.)
*** Interactive sponsors the GT-Series ONLY, so I have a feeling that the
game will only include the GTS1,2&3 cars. It would be a shame NOT to include
the World SportsCars, as I said, I don't think we will see them. Also, I am
not sure that the game will include Daytona (for the 24hr race), as Sega
holds the license to this track, AFAIK. Let's hope *** will get the
licenses for WSC and all the good tracks - this game definitely has a lot of
potential.
