Sprint Car Racing interview
Posted by @ 8:41 PM, EST
IGN posted an interview with Ratbag, talking about their sprint car racer.
Here’s a bit:

IGNPS2: You initially mentioned at ECTS that cars will take damage, and that there will be spectacular wipeouts. How much damage will each car take? Like will they be stripped down to a metal skeleton?

Tom: There aren't many parts of these cars that won't be able to join the carnage. Theoretically, yes, you could end up racing around in just an open wheeled shell of a machine. Our vehicle damage model is very realistic though. All possible damage permutations have been individually modeled and if playing in simulation mode a player's race will be over long before they're reduced to just a chassis and wheels. That said, vehicle parts flying off of the cars is a really cool feature both of the sport and of our game.
