Although this information has somehow already leaked it's way out, I
can confirm that the PC version of V8 Supercar Race Driver has now
been delayed until February.
The game will now ship with the network code included - preventing the
need for a multiplayer patch.

Apologies to all those who have been waiting for the game or who were
hoping to purchase it for Christmas. Hopefully the fact that the
multiplayer element will now be included will compensate for this to
some degree.

I also apologise to anyone who had been misled by our assurances that
the game would still be released in November. Up until Monday, it was
still hoped that the game would make its pre-christmas date.
Unfortunately delays in the submission process for the US PS2 version
has had a knock on effect on the PC title.

In a way, this is a good sign.  It shows (maybe) that developers are
starting to understand the need/demand for solid online multiplayer
capabilities.

Funny thing is, EB has been showing the release date as Feb. 2003 for
over a month now.  Don't know what they are showing online, but I know a
guy who runs an EB Games store and I have asked him several times since
the PS2 release to check on the availability of the US PC and Xbox
versions.  When he checked the in-store computer, it always showed Feb.
2003 for these versions of the game.  Guess they must be psychic.  ;o)
