Just got word from the local Electronic Botigue (Madison, WI) that Rally Trophy
that WAS due in tomorrow is now Feb 16!  Anybody confirm this?  What is with
these people.....?

Order it from www.gogamer.com. They are in the U.S., and have import copies.
I have bought 3 copies from them for myself and friends, with no problems.

Sorry to let you down but it isn't connected to the patch. It isn't exactly
connected to us at Bugbear either, since we haven't got a clue why it's
delayed again..

Same here it would have been good earlier, but now I'm ready for NR2002. Its
to bad to because if they do go up against NR2002 its a fight they won't
win, and it will make the game look like a flop. As they say timing is
everything.

I don't think NR2002 and RT will concurrent each other..totally
different games, totally different target customers.
Same reason why I can't understand you skipping RT because you want to
buy NR2002..

I won't "skip" Rally but if NR2002 and RT go on sale at the same time NR2002
will get my money first. I'd still probable get RT some time in the future.
Both games are racing sims so they do have a similar market. Going head to
head with the biggest racing sim line in the USA with a sim of a much less
popular form of motorsports is very bad business decision. Their original
date back in November would have been perfect because of a relative dull
point in the racing sim market. They would have sold it to the ones that
would have bought it any ways, plus those of us that were just plain bored
and wanting something fresh.

As far as why I would go for NR2002 over RT boils down to which one I'll get
the most use out of. There will alot more action in NR2002 for me and my
friends than there will be in RT. To be honest most people will look at RT
as nothing more than a Need for Speed type game, even if we know better.

Based on the demo, why would you waste your money NR2002?

Based on the demo the cars drive more like I think they should. They actualy
feel like the have some grip. IMO Nascar 4 is too lite in track grip for a
3400 lb car built for down force on slicks. I'm also hoping the improvements
in the AI will actualy make racing the AI possible again.
