    NASCAR Title in Development, From Eutechnyx

    According to RaceSimCentral and Virtualr, a new NASCAR title from Eutechnyx is set to arrive in February 2011.

    "Eutechnyx, a developer from the United Kingdom is working on their next big project, NASCAR.

    Eutechnyx has previously worked on licenses like Ferrari, James Bond, 007 and Formula One and has now acquired the NASCAR license, which was previously held by EA. In addition, they’ve acquired the backing of Ed Martin, the new Vice President of Eutechnyx, who oversaw the NASCAR franchise at EA Sports for four years. Martin also worked as an executive producer at Hasbro Interactive and with racing simulation developer, Papyrus. “I am thrilled to become part of that team in what will no doubt be a defining year in our history,” said Martin about Eutechnyx."

          Hopefully its sim and hopefully the AI is strategic in terms of pitting, etc.

            Exactly! Nothing is more frustrating then when you are the only one that pits during a yellow. And then two laps into a green flag the other 42 cars pit! You end up winning because everyone else is at least a lap down!

              I really hope this is a good sim NASCAR game. We need something that captures the atmosphere of a real race. I would love to see a good sim racing game with good physics and a great presentation.

              Lets hope for lag free 43 car fields online too. Now that would kick ***!

                  If it's for PS3 I'll definitely give it a look.

                  I had some of the EA efforts but they were patchy at best.

                  I think NASCAR is really good and I like the games, but in previous games I've tended to win or come last. I hope it adopts F1 2010's style of already giving you a good setup when you get to the track, and just allowing you to tweak it to suit your driving style.

                  Plus I find NR 2003 far too hard

                    This is really good news. I am going to have to try and sneak an interview with these guys, once the games released!

                    EDIT:

                    Well I was excited until I read that they hired the lead developer of the EA NASCAR series to head this project. Thats no knock on EA, but the NASCAR series hasnt been the most impressive. I will hold judgment, but to me, that wasnt the best move to make!

                      That guy was also involved in some Papyrus games if I recall correctly. I think EA just didnt really give a **** about NASCAR and it showed. If he is given a little more room to do what he wants it may not be a bad thing. We will have to see how it turns out I guess.

                          Thanks....that makes me feel a little bit better. I would agree, it seems like the "suits" over at EA tend to control a game, more then the rpoducers and developers. I got that feeling from the exit interviews Mike Wang did about EA as he left and went back to NBA 2k.

                          Nice find Mike, and it seems like he really wasnt a developer of the game, but more on the backend of things and implementation. I am suprised the guys at iRacing didnt take him with them.

                            I wonder if they check OS any? A suggestion thread might be a good idea. I would love to have the career mode from Thunder 04 (it was either 03 or 04 can't remember now) where you had the crew chief, engine builder, chassis builder, body builder, and shop that you had to pay for and hire better builders to get the better cars. If they could do that a take into affect that everyone else, AI, will also be building better cars they could have a great career mode. I'm not sure about running lower levels of Nascar b/c EA had bad games with them in it so it kinda left a bad impression on me. I read on their forum that some saw that an offical anouncement would be at the end of the month.

                              Papy was together until 2002-2003ish, according to that he left in 1997. He would have been long gone by the time iRacing came around. Looks like he was already with EA at that point.
