Any more news concerning WSC ???

Anyone know anything about what has happened to this game? Has it been officially cancelled ? Are they making any progress? Is the PS2 version, or possibly an XBOX version , still under development?

The PS2-version got a new name "TIR". I think it stands for Total Immersion Racing. From what i know, its not cancelled for PC (they havent said anything more than WSC from the West will not be released this year).

Ok, I'll assume you don't actually know and if you do, you hooked me :-) WRC - World Rally Championship WSC - World Sportscar Championship (or something) Aside from both series using cars with 4 wheels and an engine, they don't share much :-), WSC would be like the American LeMans Series I guess Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "Animation isn't the illusion of life; it is life" --Chuck Jones (1912-2002)--

"Git th' net ready! I'm gonna land a big 'un!" Yeah, I do know what the difference is ... I was going to make some joke about Tommi Makinen driving a WSC car in Corsica, and/or Wayne Taylor driving a Pugeot 206 at Le Mans this year, but I just couldn't work the joke right. It was late, and my brain was (obviously) fuzzy. Your patience is appreciated, Tony

Well they essentially used to do that at the Targa Florio up until it was cancelled 1972 (or maybe 71, I can't remember off the top of my head, and my books are in the other room). Hell, Ferrari used to run P3's & P4's and 250LM's. The pictures are frighteningly cool. And Porsche ran smaller stuff. Which makes logical sense: the smaller the road, the smaller the car. Anyway, that and other open road races were truly spectacular in both concept and execution. Sadly,. they no longer exists except as staged rallies. TB

Yeah, that's right. And the very successful Lancia Stratos had a Ferrari V6 powering it to many many rally wins. Also, people used to rally Mercedes SL's and those big Citroens (was never good remembering Citroen #'s) and a bunch of other "normal" sedans and such. It used to be very different up until the mid-70's. TB
