These look amazing, as have all the WSC screenshots from the very beginning.
Anyone know anything about the West Bros progress? Presumably the middle of
next year is a realistic date.

Can anyone explain picture 8 and 12 for me?
These are not in-game shots I guess.

whats to explain? A Ferrari 333sp leading some other cars around a track
that 'may' resemble Brands Hatch?
Keep in mind, the time period for WSC is now several years old from when
they first began working on it. I beleive the 'plan' is to have cars from
several era's available.(including A Can Am Mclaren and posibly a GPLish F1
car.)

The three front cars are placed the excact same way in the pictures,
even the cracks in the tarmac are the same. But the two rear cars has
just disappeared. Looks like arranged photos, not frames of a film.

I agree with you. Unless they had parked the first 3 cars, there is
ABSOLUTELY some digital alteration to those pictures.

You know, when you call for Wests to 'shut up', think a bit about who is
doing most of the talking. Certainly not the Wests themselves, and also
not Empire.

Question for you Todd. If you are so bored and annoyed at the news of WSC
why do you keep reading and adding to it. Could you please tell me how you
can justify the line 'Maybe if they spent more time working on the "game"
and less time
the game, and they have come from E3 where I believe people generally
release scren shots. If they are the hype merchants you seen to firmly
believe they are surely they would have a web site praising all the virtues
of this 'Vapourware' as you put it?

Response please.

I agree. Not to mention the fact that the reflections on the front of the
cars are exactly the same in a few of the shots (eg 12 and 13). I think
these are not real in game shots. But thats just my opinion

I'll have to apologise to the West brothers, as in the two cases I was
WRONG. And the reason why it's not 1) parked cars or 2) a digital
alteration is pretty exciting, but I won't say more ;-D

I'll now eat my words...

It's probably Eric and Kenneth racing on-line with Chris and Tony (and
someone else). Ahhhh!!!
