iRacing said they only enter into non-exclusive contracts, so its highly possible that they both have the licience. And besides they are reaching very different audiences.

oh, and the WRC licience is nothing new for sony, just new to gran turismo

Anyone know the parameters of the nascar licensing? It would seem to me that the licensing of nascar and wrc was not an overnight event. They could have been planning on incorporating these series for a long time as far as we know. Recently iRacing announced a Nascar partnership too. I’m guessing it’s possible that nascar has enough clout not to enter into an exclusive contract… but I think it’s more likely that nascar previously had a contract with GT5 shooting for a 2009 release. The iRacing contract is probably a 2010+ contract. Just my guess.

The PSP version will be out this year. I think people mix that up and then go around the internet saying GT5 will make it’s release in 2009.

I can wait, i rather have a game that works then having glitches, bugs etc…

September would be sweet, I’ve been hanging out to buy a PS3 since I sold my PS2 a couple of years ago but have been waiting till GT5 was released. Just need to convince the wife I ‘need’ it.

According to stuff I read yesterday, September is when it’s out. Or perhaps the piece got confused with the PSP version.
