GrandAm to be Sim'd

Live from Daytona:

Grand American Video Game To Be Created

(Daytona Beach, Fla.) January 25, 2006 - Newly formed Fusion D3 and Grand American Racing have joined together in developing a racing video game for the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Special Reserve.

Initially the game will feature the 2006 Rolex 24 At Daytona with plans to expand and offer additional tracks over the coming year.

The project, which has been brought together by Fusion Racing, will provide fans with an exciting racing game as well as provide Grand American with a marketing tool to promote that series on a global scale.

A PC version of the game is planned for release at the Daytona Prototype race at Long Beach, California on April 8, 2006. there are also plans to enter the game console market the following year.

e// this is the culmination of a whole heap load of hard work by the entire team, we're immensely proud of this acheivement so keep it civil eh?

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

I thought at first about it being a new game on maybe the rFactor engine or something, but then saw in another thread stuff on a GrandAm mod :$

Reporting from Daytona right now. The co-operation from grand am and the teams to get this game to be the best is unbeliavable. Even simbin would envy this sort of access to what we have. With the massive ammounts of technical data thats been supplied by drivers and engineers (one reasons why im curretly in daytona, to collect info and data) we have no real eccuse for not producing an excellent game.

Fusion currently has the early build of our game running on a Virtual GT machine here at Daytona in Jim frances suite (he owns Daytona) and Suntrusts suite (the place where the teams eat), and so far all reactions ahev been positive and it will only get better.

Me and Nick work for D3 (Digitally Dirven Developers). My argos job finished awhile ago (Xmas temp), this one is much better. hell if they want to fly me out to Daytona or Long Beach of watkins Glen every so often for a motorsport event, i wont say no.

as its based on rf, are the tracks from rf gonna work with it? (would make it a lot more attractive to most imo)

i'm still likely to wait for a final release with all the tracks included, having to pay for addons, no matter how little is always akward when you race with m8s

i'm sure the game will be good, but i've not really got an interest in us racing, so where can i find more info about the actual race/series? (ie tracks and drivers mainly) preferebaly without too much reading or clicking.
i think i saw scott dixon involved? and that skinny girl that only wins because shes skinny? and daytona? or indy???

the renders look great
