Will it be any good, I wonder?

Fancy branding and graphics are one thing, but what about the realism?  I'm
*so* looking forward to someone releasing a decent BTCC sim!!!

Richard,

I think that this will be the next generation of the brilliant AI from the
little know PS One game Jarett and Labonte racing (which was really a TOCA
game with a misleading title).

The AI in that game was terrific.  They raced with different styles,
different levels of aggression, and most importantly they seemed eerily
human.  I could not believe this was the AI of a PS game.  The physics and
damage model were damn good as well.  The big drawback was dated graphics
running it on a PS2 and viewing huge jaggies on a 36 inch TV with no USB
wheel support. ;0)  Imagine the potential of this updated on a powerful
machine.

I am very e***d about the evolution of this AI given the advantages of a
PC or nextgen console.  I think this game has the potential to be . . . wait
for it . . . the GPL of professional sports car racing.  A bold claim, I'll
take my chances. ;0)

do you guys believe they're actual in-game shots, or do any of you
share that creepy feeling I get the codies are trying to sell us
raytracings again?
