https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-07-29-at-long-last-an-official-btcc-game-is-coming "If you're not familiar with BTCC, then it's perhaps best described as the UK's answer to NASCAR" No it bloody isn't..
I've never played or known of any games by Motorsport Games but at least it means the new BTCC game is not made by Codemasters!
They appear to be some sort of umbrella/parent company.. - It could be that a new dev team is being put together specifically for this project.
Nawwwggghhh With an unknown studio making it I was clinging to hope that the BTCC game at least had a chance at not being terrible. Sounds like I was foolishly optimistic.
NASCAR Heat 4 has 83% positive reviews on Steam (88% recently). Motorsport Games were also involved in it, in one way or another. I tried to find more info about these companies and who made what, but it's a corporate mess. So all is not lost, yet. P.S. What's bad about Codies? As far as I see, their latest F1 game is quite good.
Can't believe a un-tried studio got the rights for one of the most wanted series by sim racers, they must have deep pockets to pull that one off.
