Has anyone heard any progress on the proposed sim "World Sports Car". A
release date or anything? The discussion seemed to fall by the wayside after
GTR2002 came out?
Thanks
Tim

It was scrapped by Empire interactive a year or two ago. The
developing team is working on a new simulator that is due to be
released in time for Christmas 2011. http://www.racing-legends.com

Something that should be out much sooner and may interest you is the
classic WSC/IMSA mod that simbin are working on:

They've also released a great FIA GT mod for F1 2002 that has been
receiving tons of great reviews here:

Jason, I think you are being a little over-optimistic :>)

so an annonymous poster, hiding behind a fake address is trying to fan
the flames of WRL? That would be what? Feb 7th? We'll see.

Another "RL wont be released for a zillion years"***

Thats a bit old isnt it?

Hey speaking of West Racing, has anyone noticed the distinct lack of ***
action lately? Combined with their lack of forum presence, I can't help but
wait with baited breath for the re-degeneration of their forums. They were
going well for a while! Maybe I'm getting paranoid.

They've always said that *** will have to be off sometimes for security
reasons

West Racing last posted Feb 11th at 08:31pm (yesterday)

and Susie last posted Feb 11th at 10:01 am.

The last website update was 3 weeks ago - a new update would be nice - and
I'd expect one in the next week or so.

I'd say you're getting Paranoid.

Thats the cue for all the W-R and RL nay-sayers to chip in with one of..

1)It's a big haox
2)It'll never happen
3)They're actually two elvis impersonators from Dudley and have no modelling
or programming skill at all

I've given you the options there - you can just tick as applicable.

lol... I'd say option 3 is going to get a good workout this time.
