A mate of mine mentioned this to me recently. I think he read it in some magazine. I'll have to ask him about it again. Wouldn't it be great racing around Bathurst in a thumping Aussie V8 tourer :) I don't think the game is finished or has even been started yet though. I'll see what I can find out. Tony

http://203.61.124.10:80/vsi/game2.htm I emailed them and they maintain that it will be released and on show at Bathurst this weekend (full motion video and all). I'm a bit sceptical about it - I wouldn't get your hopes up yet. Scott

Sounds great, 'bout time someone did a touring car game, NASCARs are so big and lumbering and terrible handlers on a road track (sorry US guys). Why doesn't someone do a Super Touring game, as this is a worldwide marketable game, even the US has super tourers now (Chrysler won this year). James

It's finished, but is only available thu' an Aust. motor mag. Soon to be released properly. It used FMV with cars superimposed, but despite the lack of an in-car view, looks pretty cool. It supports car setups, realistic handling and the like, and I'll review it for you as soon as I get it. More tracks are to be released including Eastern Creek (500CC Bikes) and a couple of others on the annual circuit. Believe it or not, I'm watching the Bathurst 1000 right not, and Craig 'The Kid' Lowndes is ahead by 12.5 seconds on lap 101. Come on HRT! (down with*** Johnson Racing). Jet

SEGA is making a touring car game fore the saturn.I can't wait for it!
