I have seen shots of the PC box and GameSpot lists it:

Also, just found this site which says Sept 2003 for the PC:

My friend has the Xbox version and it's quite respectable from a sim point
of view.  Haven't really had a good go at it yet though.....

I sure hope it's a lot easier to find than Mercedes Benz Truck Racing.  I
always wanted a copy of that, but never could find it locally.

Ya can't buy what you can't find.  Their loss...

I had to get MBTR from a UK-based online store.  EBGames and GameStop
didn't have it listed even 3-4 months after its release.

If I have to, I'll order MBWR from Europe too.  I asked at the local EB
today and the guy had never heard of it or MBTR.

Larry, if you want, try eBay or http://www.gametz.com/.  GameTZ is now
pay though.

I wish I could remember where I got MBTR.  It was
www.black<something>.co.uk I think.  I tried www.blackstar.co.uk but
that's movies.

With the conversion rates, I don't think I will be ordering from Europe :)

The $12lb Live For Speed ended up costing me just short of $20!!!  Just got
the damned bill :)

Ok, thanks.  I'll wait to see if people with TSW wheels can run it fine in
split-axis mode.  I never got M-B Truck Racing to work, and I'm STILL burned
about that...

Hi Eldred,

I recently upgraded to DirectX 9.0b and that update fixed all
my TSW "wiggly pot" and "brake half on" woes.

I even managed to reinstall and get Rally Trophy to work in
split axis mode (ok, some input.ini hacking required, but no
biggy), and man is this one fun to drive with split axis!

Also, the tsw controller issues in F1C seem to have been fixed,
too.

Good luck,

uwe
