Richard Burns Rally - A Year On [22-01-2006 | JZ | Comments (0) ]
A little over a year ago, I submitted my review of Richard Burns Rally for the PC to SimHQ. At the time I suspected that RBR would become a new classic and would achieve the kind of status and renown that venerable Grand Prix Legends has enjoyed.

Developer Warthog was sold off shortly after the release of the second and final patch, and is now part of Gizmondo Studios. They are working on supplying content to the Gizmondo handheld device.

Recently, Jim Kerekes, aka DT99, dropped me a line to let me know of a soon to be released mod for NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, the Grand National 1970 mod.
