New World of Outlaws Sprint Racing Game Announced - 3.10.05

RYL publisher Planetwide Games has secured the license to produce a new game based on DIRT MotorSports World of Outlaws Sprint Series.

The dirt-track racing game is due for release next year on PC and unspecified consoles, and will feature an online competition aspect which will be powered by Planetwide's MOG engine.

In addition, Planetwide will use the game to showcase a new next-generation "reality engine" that immerses the player in the race and allows each car to be customized:

This engine will give the gamer the unique opportunity to experience game play that is truly the World of Outlaw Racing. Our reality engine will also allow the gamer to customize their sprint cars, view the race from the racers perspective, and experience dirt track racing from the starting line all the way to checkered flag directly from the driver’s perspective.

[...]

Online players will be able to test their skills as they create a customized sprint car designed to outperform and outlast the competition from local racers across the country and worldwide. Even drivers who smoke the track one weekend will still have to spend long hours in the garage to stay on top of their game.

No further details are available on the game at this point, except that it will be the first in a series from the DIRT/Planetwide partnership.
