I know what you mean. On the one hand it's nice to know that progress is being made but a few of the WIP shots have been less than flattering. Like it or not, visuals
are important these days (although not at the expense of gameplay/physics etc).
Still, my guess is that some things are still early in development and we are several months form a release. We've already seen from other shots that things are capable of looking much nicer. I'm sure the final product will look better but sometimes I struggle to understand why releasing inconsistent promo material is a good idea. Personally i'd have all the eye candy turned up and try to make things look as nice as possible. That pic just looks like the nissan has been badly photoshopped onto a rF1 track. I'm sure ISI will deliver the goods eventually - and for me, the new features/bugfixes are the things that i'm most looking forward to.
PS. It's also nice to see ISI have another track apart from Sepang

Looks a bit like Estoril to me...
