With over a decade of experience in developing racing games, the team is ready to expand their expertise and explore new ideas for the racing genre on multiple gaming platforms. I wonder if this signals the end of the PC online era and the start of things like Sony.Net and Microsoft.Net broadband gaming series for the PS2 and XBOX. The developers I work with always tell me that the PC is a dead end deal and the consoles have the volume. Now maybe they can make a profit.

A bit of fuel for the speculative fires... from the forum. "Papyrus has a longstanding reputation for developing racing titles of high quality and originality, " said Mike Ryder, President of Sierra, " Our decision to support the team in creating and developing new concepts in the racing genre, signifies our confidence in the Papyrus Racing team." "We're excited by the opportunities this presents," said Rich Reily, General Manager of Papyrus, "The knowledge we have gained in working with the NASCAR� racing franchise has been invaluable. With the full support of Sierra behind us and the creative insight of this talented studio, I have no doubt that the superior quality Papyrus fans have come to expect will definitely be translated into more spectacular racing titles." Interesting reading between those lines. And finally, "As Papyrus completes the final lap in the NASCAR� Racing series, a new legacy begins for the team that set the standard in the racing simulation genre." New legacy, eh? My read is that EA's probably bought exclusive rights beginning in '04, so Sierra/Papy have no choice but to move on.

Lessee... They've never gone with any niche interests, preferring major series like the USAC/CART Indy Cars when they were the most popular, undisputed summit of auto racing in the US, then Nascar which supplanted CART as the premier US series. So it's going to be a major league series, I should think. But since those days, of course, Sierra's been acquired by a European interest, Vivendi. So perhaps a more international focus is in order. Not a lot of choices spring to mind that would satisfy market requirements for a development of that level. In context of the buzz about EA bailing from F1 after the current ISI effort in favor of Nascar, you think maybe...

If you are correct, it goes a long way into showing just how STOOPID Nascar really can be sometimes. I was wondering why Bennie has been hawking that god-awful looking SIM on race day.

I'll believe it when I see it. I'll also buy it LONG before EA gets ANY of my money for their lousy Nascar efforts.
