bad idea. if they said that it would take exactly 5 minutes until
"WRL got the ferrari!" got thrown around the net, and then, when the
game finally arrived, it'd get pounded for not having the promised
Ferraris after all.

Lol, two weeks till they announce that yes they are working on Racing
Legends and no, they don't have an estimated release date yet?

EA and Papy have to be laughing their butts off. I sure hope the Wests'
prove them wrong, but so far their track record ain't that good.

Their track record?
You mean track record of created games?
F-16 Combat Pilot (Electronic Arts, 1989), 007: Licence To Kill (Atari,
Domark, 1989), Super Space Invaders (C64, Domark, 1991), R.I.S.K. (C64, The
Edge 1987), ***ball (C64, Atari, Domark/Tengen 1990)....

Just a fast search in Google. I'm sure there are plenty more :-)

So by that, they have been working on WSC/RL for the past 12 years?? :-)
