NASCAR Racing onto Nintendo Wii?

If rumours are to be believed, an insider has confirmed that Activision has snatched the rights to NASCAR from under EA's nose and is making NASCAR 2011 for Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 based on the license. The loose talk has also helped to unearth that there will be an in-depth career mode, with a forty-three grid, as well as a new damage model where roll overs, blow overs and more are faithfully recreated in the game. The pit crew and driver are set to be fully motion-captured for realistic effect, tyres can be worn down and their pressure and temperature will change racing performances, and tyres may even burst whilst racing, or brakes wear down considerably.

Do you put any stock in this latest rumour? Would you like to see Bizarre Creations move on from Blur to try its hand at NASCAR?
