It's probably due to the fact that when a country has one of the best
drivers in the world the people of that country suddenly love the
sport. The game should have been released when Alan Jones was world
champion :)

Maybe you should try ordering it direct, slip them a few cruzieros or
something for shipping...

Cheating Schumacher had his hands on there ... :-)

They want to sell the international versions, which are usually more
ex***ive. If the German and (cheaper) English version would be out
the same date, no one here would buy the German version.
It's probably similiar with Holland, France, Italy, etc.
