It's not World Sports Cars as we know it, wich is Racing Legends now. The
West Racing simulator.
It's Total Immersion Racing, a completely different title that has nothing
to do with WSC/RL.

P.s. Total Immersion Racing is scheduled for release in september on PC, PS2
and XBox.
And Empire is the publisher, yes.

I'm really looking forward to the release WL which I feel is going to happen. I
will more than likely buy the bata, demo whatever its called granted the price
is in my range, but the pics on that web site look similar to the past pics I've
seen of WSC. Just my opinion. After all, Empire owns the code remember. Besides
since when has Empire been a developer? I thought they were just a publisher.

   They ARE just publishers.  They OWN the WSC code because as publishers
they funded the Wests during development.  When the two parties couldn't
agree on just what  WSC should be, Empire stopped funding.   Total Immersion
Racing takes the previously granted and paid for licenses for WSC and
applies them to a *** built sports car sim.  The cars that 'would' have
been in WSC are in TIR as are the tracks, at least that is my impression.
But WSC as we knew it...will most likely never see the light of day.

Unless the tracks and car models happen to be surprisingly easy to convert?

Jan./ thought you might like a bit of *** theory... ;-)

I read in a German *** mag (take with a grain of salt) that WSC would
now be released as Total Immersion Racing. Sounds like a name change and
will probably be a simplified version of WSC, numbers sold being more
important to Empire.

Read this interview regarding TIR and WSC.
Should clear things up.

I think the guys that developed this are the same people that did
Commancge v Hokum so it may not ne too bad at all. Not ***, but I'm
guessing not too shabby at all. Just a guess though.
