Sadly the excellent looking Gas Guzzlers Extreme action packed racing game isn't yet on Linux, but we now know why at least!

Speaking on their official forum a developer said this:

QuoteWe outsourced this to a small indie Linux porting studio and the main guy responsible for port has been ill for a while.

Sounds like they need some more Linux staff!

It's sad, but things like this do happen from time to time. No idea who this small porting studio is, but I wish them a speedy recovery. We won't be prying to try to find out who either, as the last thing you need when ill is some kind of games editor bugging you.

If you remember Gas Guzzlers Extreme was officially confirmed for Linux, but after delays it seems the official press release (copied in the linked article) was taken down.
