NFS:PU is nowhere to be seen either, some places saying April!! I think I'll pass on F1-2000, but NFS is definitely on the shopping list. What I can't understand is DTR. Ratbag are an Aus software house (I assumed) but you can't get this title here. Hopefully we'll see Sprints shortly after it's release, I think I'll just holdoff on getting DTR and wait for this instead. Cheers, Rod.

Just walk up to their offices, if you know where they are, and just ask for a copy. See if that'd do. It's kinda stupid seeing that happen. But it's not like us here in North America gets gipped some times, GPW not to be released here. And every f1 title I remeber arrived here few months after europe got it. It's all just unfair.

Tricky Dicky's got a game?? -Any good? I have fond memories of watching the Australian Touring Car Championships on SportNet over here. I liked the way they chatted to the drivers, in car.

I liked the way they chatted to the drivers, in car. AussieV8 racing is maybe THE best tin top racing there is, Dick Johnson's Racing fail to capture anything of what makes it good, although I must say the Bathurst was modeled fairly accurately (?), at least that was the impression I got from watching tapes of the races there (my fav is the opening of the 1000 race some time in early 90's, wet, Larry Perkins and Peter Brock driving like it was a dirt track and the cars were weighing 500 kg :-) -- Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "Mountain climbing, auto racing and bullfighting are the only true sports...all others are games." --Ernest Hemingway--

Uh, that comment was just hilarious, you guys have a company that produces one of the better sims to emerge as of late, not my fav kind of racing, but it's pretty good, and can't find someone to distribute it in Aussie land, then there's Dick Johnson Racing....the rest is history, priceless, just priceless Now where is my Larry Perkins Commodore :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "Mountain climbing, auto racing and bullfighting are the only true sports...all others are games." --Ernest Hemingway--
