Vallelunga isn't in France either....odd.

I've read so much about 'Bathhurst' from the The Nostalgia forum that I'm quite keen to check it (and all of the other circuits) out.

I am psyched!!!!!!

I have their previous touring car effort, "Jarrett-Labonte Stock Car Racing" (aka World Touring Cars) for PS1, and I thought that game was incredible. This will kick major ass!!!!

I can't run GPL on a Mac so I've been waiting to get a cheap PC but still fast enought to run it.

I just went to Codemasters website and they're basically asking for input in the development of the game.

The forum address is here: http://62.25.96.161/...cgi?category=16

The following hands-on preview was from the XBOX version. Apparently this is going to be a racer with RPG elements to it.

Hmmmmmm?

I just read the story line. Is it me or did it sound like the developer grew up watching Speed Racer and decided to invent a game around it. I was surprised not to find Chim Chim and Spritle listed!!!
