Did ISI have anything to do with the console version?

Just from the limited time I've had with Thunder 2003 for the xbox (by
Tiburion) I'm finding that in addition to being a better arcade racer
than the PC version and having many many more features (and tracks,
for that matter - god the Pocono infield course rules) the track
models are significantly better too.

I'm sure the "poor chap" would really benefit from your astounding knowledge
of all the circuits.
Have you contacted Minardi to offer them your knowledge ?

I rented the Xbox version once.  Watkins Glen really does not look right to
me.  Some things I could chalk up to perspective differences, but the s/f
straight looks almost flat, and that is clearly wrong.

Poor ISI, they get slighted for tracks they didn't even design. ;0)  He's
playing the SONY produced/developed F1 game entitled "Formula One" 2002.
ISI/EA uses "F1" in their titles.  Here's the review by Daily F1 referenced
in the article.

The tracks might be pretty realistic, can't tell from that review.  I played
the 2001 version briefly and the tracks were different than ISI (couldn't
say if they were more accurate since I wouldn't know without photos).

Must be very accurate if the prize giving scene is anything to go by. That
must be M Schumacher first, that'll be um Button second and er um oh a
Minardi third!

My bad - presumed the F12002 for a PS2 was the same title as F12002 for the
PC  :O

Just looking at that Montreal picture (the third one) I can already tell you
it's not realistic.

It's not like that in reality.
