- Bugbear announces FlatOut 2002-11-05 · 24 postsBugbear car lead artist Ilari Lehtinen announced FlatOut, which would use a refined version of Rally Trophy's physics engine. He confirmed online multiplayer and said the game was about racing rather than demolition despite its crash-heavy promotion.
