Sorry if this is a repost.
I get game informer mag and I came across this article
about Gran Turismo 5 and NASCAR being in gran turismo 5 and the next nascar games. The article says:
The future of NASCAR
A few months ago it looked like video game stock car racing had run out of gas when EA Sports announced it ceased production on it's yearly sim-based NASCAR title. The license now lives on in Gran Turismo 5, and Blake Davidson, NASCAR's managing director of licensed products, tells us GT 5 is just the beginning.
Sony and the racing association started talks around fall of last year, and danidson says the footage we saw at E3 "is just a taste" of what's going to be in the game. Although he doesn't know exactly what's going on between Sony and NASCAR 's various drivers, Sony is looking into including drivers in GT 5. NASCAR's deal with Sony is not exclusive, which is the way NASCAR wants it to stay. Davidson says that the assication is looking into a broader stragtegy of multiple stock car titles across different platforms and genres, and it is currently looking at which partners are the best fits for each category.
Sim-racer fans will be happy to hear that this spring NASCAR joined forces with iracing for an online racing for an online racing series starting in 2010. Members of venerable racing developer Papyrus are behind the game.
Davidson also says the a PC sim-racing deal is in the works, and that NASCAR hopes to have a console sim-racing game - not including GT 5 - OUT IN HOLIDAY 2010 OR EARLY 2011. Could this be the return os EA or even NASCAR Heat developer Monster Games? Davidson says that as far as EA Sports goes, NASCAR is "not having active conversations with them about any sort of sim product"
