Why must I wait for a copy of CART Precision Racing?

Best to ask a mate in the US to buy a copy and send it to you, that's what my friend did (and what I intended to do until I took a look at the demo). I got a lot of my software this way, all of the Papyrus titles, SODA, Quake etc, since some titles are available in the US long before Europe. I enjoyed Moto Racer though, always nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change! :) I'm sure you could also find some "unscrupulous" retailer that will be prepared to ship to you. Cheers! John
