Here's an interesting press release. Hope its not another Ford Raceing.
http://www.racesimcentral.net/
Says that it will be for XBOX and PC. Notice that it has what looks like a
1955 300 SLR in it to appeal to the GPL'er in me too.

Anyone know anytthing more about this, like whether they're planning a North
America release?

If it comes from the same stable as Merc Benz Truck Racing - then we can
expect great things

well, it doesn't, MBTR was from THQ, this one is from TDK which are world
famous for making blank CD's and tapes....

I'm a bit afraid of this but we'll see when a demo comes....

The idea (as a MBWR spokesman explained to me in so many words) is Need for
Speed: Porsche Unleashed.  'k?

I think that's a brilliant idea :-), NFS:PU may not have been a "true"
sim, more like a "sim light" if you will, but most enjoyable

That would suit me OK.  NFS:PU was a fine way to unwind from a tense session
of GPL. If the physics are in the PU ballpark this new MBWR will make for a
fine sim-lite alternative particularly with that SLR in there.  Your contact
mention any plans for North Americian release or is this going to be yet
another Euro only teaser?
