Easy answer...the defense of the West's comes from them being one of us...true
racing sim enthusiasts, as opposed to in house developers who are gagged by
their employers.

It's seems natural to want them to succeed.

I think I see your problem. You don't see the difference between corporate
marketing hype on the box of sim you paid for, and the first hand reports of
those close to WSC which you haven't spent a penny for.

You mentioned elsewhere you were also critical of GPL in this regard. How so?

Too bad you can't just sit back and enjoy the anticipation like some of us. :)

If you promise not to tell anyone....send me your email address and I'll let
you borrow my copy of the WSC demo for a weekend.  But, you have to send it

Oh, um . . . well, MGI and NASCAR Heat represent the here-and-now, not
necessarily the up-and-coming. <G>

Then again, with Satoru's upcoming cars, NASCAR Heat may beat WSC to
the punch . . . and quite possibly exceed it!

:-D

Seemed obvious to me. Basic psychology I guess. :)

Kind of a transference...it's David who is the sad one.
