From what I hear - and I may be mistaken - isn't it just TOCA 2 with a couple of famous NASCAR names thrown on the box to sell to the US market? And they aren't even the famous Dale Jarrett or either Labonte brother - it's their sons. DG

I thought this game was Toca World Championship, the one that was supposed to include Bathhurst, and a bunch of European tracks in addition to the ones in Great Britain? Was / Is this one only available for consoles, or has it been released for the PC?
