GPL2 on the horizon?

Anyone seem these pics yet?
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Textuers in some places look a little like GP2 but when you look at the
Monza banking and stuff they look very GPL-ish as well as tht swoosh effect
on the far off stands in screenshot #1. The very dark and dull looking grass
looks GPL-ish too as well as the trees far off, so since it looks more
GPL-is than GP2-ish then I guess GPL it is. I has a slight hint of GP500
also which makes me think it might be GP3 but in general the whole thing
looks too dull for that and looks dan like GPL.

So, could it be GPL2?

Could it be a brand new sim we don't know of?

Could it be a big hoax?

Suggestions here please:-)

I wonder if the banking is real of if its just really detailed scenery:-)

I wish they wouldn't show screen shots of that game, I get all exicted, and
it's not going to be out until next year. That sim looks awesome though.

ehm, no... it's a brand new sim of which YOU appearantly don't know of...
Have you been living in a cave feeding on bugs the last week?

The pictures are from Worlds Sports Cars a game scheduled to be released
Q2/3 2000

Check out http://powersims.com/World_Sports_Cars/world_sports_cars.html for
more information about the game and more screenshots...

And I don't think you can compare the graphics with GPL or GP2... WSC
clearly has much better graphics as those 2 have... Not very suprising as
when this game is released it's 1.5 years after GPL and something like 4
years after GP2....

Ok let me explain........

Well appologies, like I asid, I was given the URL by a friend and told they
were unknown screenshots. And since no name was given on the page then I
presumed he was right.

Ok then:-)
My mistake. World Sports Cars isn't exactly the sort of sim that makse me
get all giggly inside like GP3:-)

Well of course, I just meant that it look almost like it was based on the
graphics fomr these games as well as the 3d modelling looking almost
identical to the "GPL-style" and as well as that darn annoying swooshy
effect on the far off stadiums.

My mistake, sorry!

Again, I was given the URL and since there is no sign of the game name I
believed my friend in telling me it was a spy-shot of a "mystery-sim".

The scrrenshots look very "GPL-ish" I still think though, couldn't they get
something more original?

It really does look awesome. The publishers are saying all the right things
about it also, like "GPL is the benchmark they are setting for the physics"
and stuff like that. We've heard it all before, but I get the feeling that
they are really trying to make the best sim ever.

"> Really? Oh phew!
