I'm sure I saw an article in a PC *** mag of Holdens and Falcons that
looked mega hot. Is it coming or will it be as bad as that shit Bathurst
game that came out last year. Even the programmers said it was crap.

Check out the follwoing website for "Dick Johnson's Touring Car
Challenge".....unfortunately, it only has 4 tracks (Oran Park, Philip
Island, Sandown and Bathurst).

The game looks good from the screenshots however I doubt that it will being
a good sim. I live in Australia and saw that " Bathurst game" while I was
at Bathurst. It was so bad it was not funny.

Also its a shame that in that*** Johnson game they didn't try to do all
the tracks.

Hopefully someone will try to make a great V8 with all the tracks and every
car.  It would be a great and unique sim.

The game is nothing liek the "Bathurst" one. They tried to use digital
video footage or something to recreate the track. I think the cars may
have even been sprites and not proper polygon models...

Yeah, that is very disappointing.

Maybe we can lobby Torus to create the other tracks, including the new
Adelaide track.......

Hate to be a pessimist but this whole thing looks to be a flop to me. A
serious group of sim heads wouldn't even consider not having all the
available tracks included. Hope this assumption is wrong
but.............

Not to mention its been "in development" for quite a while now (coming
on 18 months I think)......At least the cars look like the real thing
now! The old screenshots were shocking......

*waiting for SCGT now*
