Greetings to All, Does anyone know anything about EA's upcoming V8 Supercar Challenge. I haven't seen any previews or anything else on the title except for a reference to "Project Australia" by EA at Highgear, yet when I asked at the EB store in Perth Western Australia they found it in their computer scheduled for release on November 18. With the release so close I though there would be some info about it somewhere. Look forward to any comments. Thanks, Rob Hosie
It's a V8 touringcar sim developed on the basis of the STCC2 game by Digital Illusions CE (http://www.dice.se). I'm very much looking forward to it. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn. "Rob Hosie" wrote...

Thanks Jan, Had a look at Digital Illusions web site and they make some reference to Project Australia for EA Australia but no details yet. Do you have any info on the tracks that might be included or anything else?

No, sorry. I only know what I offered before. STTC2 is a fairly realistic sim of a real world series, so I assume "project Australia" will follow along the same lines, but that's not a certainty. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn. "Rob Hosie" wrote...

Do you have any info > on the tracks that might be included or anything else? There's been very little info about this sim so far. Bathurst is definitely included (and a shame it isn't available today...) but I did see a rolling video at Hardly Normal (I know, unrelated equipment purchase to solve a problem) and it *appeared* to be showing either Adelaide or the Canberra road course, they didn't show enough to be absolute sure. The physics looked very arcadey from what I saw, but we'll judge them when we get behind the wheel. Cheers, Rod.

Thanks for the input so far. Just wondering where you've seen any form of demo? Rob "iksteh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
