Now, a few new infos have been emerged from the Motor Sport Business Forum in Monaco where ISC chairman Neil Duncanson disclosed some new details on the new title currently being developed by Milestone.

“From September next year we’ll be back in the gaming marketplace,” Duncanson commented. “We haven’t been there since 2005. For the rally fans, they’ve been short-changed. There is no definitive rally video game out there right now, so we’re going to come back with a bang, delivering the ultimate in off-road racing.

This will be all of the official cars on all of the official tracks, and because we own and deliver the timing systems and all of the satellite GPRS solutions, we’re able to give you the real version of rallying, delivered to your gaming platform.

The possibility to race against the WRC drivers had been mentioned before as iOpener has also been linked to this project a few months ago, rallying is certainly the best plattform to use this technology given that the events are time-trials with not more than one car at a time involved.

Another very promising comment is the fact that real stages are mentioned, something that’s badly needed to make the live-racing approach work. It remains to be seen to which lengths the real stages will be included though. As a typical WRC rally consists of several 30+ kilometer stages, it’s somewhat doubtful that the title will actually include all stages of all rallys on the calender, meaning that the live-racing feature could be limited to some stages.
