Racing Legends

Read about it and tell us what you think about it.

No, because we'll be too busy prepping the car and actually being out on the racetrack.

Would whoever unlocked the poll and added "weed weed weed" please remove the "weed" and lock it back up. Thanks.

Done. Was it locked in the first place?

I think it might be helpful if you're lucky enough to run some of the tracks that might be in the game.

The cars will be so different from what most of us are ever likely to sit in, let alone drive, that any information gained would simply be in regards to basic track layout.

Looks like a really good game. I just hope it dosen't require a super computer to run the game.

Yes...I'm almost 100% positive "locked" was still selected when I started this thread. Thanks.

McLaren F1 Fan, a nearly fully developed WSC physics engine demo was running ok on PII and PIII. The West believe in effecient coding, not sloppy coding. And the engine for WSC (Been in development for 6+ years) has esentially turned into Racing Legends, Since Empire Interactive and the Wests gone their seperate ways.
Just the features of the tire modeling alone in WSC was astounding....the tires are divided into 32 sections, which each have 100 parameters being monitored, like temps, pressure, deflection, etc...

Unfortunately, I don't see any signs of a game on that site... just some very basic marketing material. In my experience, most companies are showing screenshots, at least a year before it's reality.

Judging from the "leather binders" and talk of addon this, addon that, I'd probably be scared of the costs anyway.

[edit] I know, I know... it's not a "game" it's a "simulation for racing professionals"...

Before a mod gets in trouble, I'd like to say that I'm 100% sure the poll was unlocked because I was thinking to myself that it's only a matter of time before we see something related to weed.
