And so... we've finally arrived... it's release week!

I'm sure many of the Codemasters staff feel the way I do right now. It's a strange sense of moving into the unknown. We've worked so hard over the last few months, to complete this game people appear to be desperate to get hold of, and yet it didn't finish in a blaze of glory. There was no sudden midnight deadline that we had to hit so that the shops could have our game on the shelves come morning. We submitted the various builds to Microsoft and Sony and, over time, they each received approvals. Discs went to manufacture and we started to disperse, using some of the additional holiday we'd built up to simply get out of the studio, to get away from making games for a short while. I've been meaning to post about the development process but there is simply not enough space on the Internet for me to do that this evening. Therefore I'll just comment on the highlights that come to mind knowing that I'll likely pass over some classic points and completely miss many of the key contributors - the best way around this is to say that this game was put together by a great many people, many of whom I'd consider to be the best I've worked with. Without them there would be no game. Special thanks has to go to the guys that worked for me directly (Gareth who put so much design into the Paddock, Mark with the Career, Tibi with the penalties and upgrades and of course Lee with the handling).
