Nah, you can see that the inside of the wheel is kinda 3D but the actual rim is just a 2D map stuck on it.
I know I am being picking, but can\'t they get rid of one spectator and give us 3D rims? Regardless, this game is going to rock. That Italian track in the vid looks amazing, its so narrow and hilly.
The rally section of the vid with the spectators is definately realtime I would say, and probably the pit crew section too. I mean, don\'t you guys remember Ridge Racer 5\'s intro sequence with the hot Asian chick? That was being rendered in realtime, and that was over 3 years ago! Namco are good, but Polyphony are better...
Just think of her, times 10, slightly less detail... Nice.
