Gas Guzzlers Extreme was causing major excitement when it was planned for Linux, but sadly things didn't turn out so well.

I'm a little late on actually writing about this, but at least now you will know:

@gamingonlinux The Linux version was outsourced but the contracted party sadly did not deliver.

We did ask for further clarification, and they stopped replying again. It's a shame, but when this was all confirmed last year we had far less games available.

I'm just going to continue to look forward to Project Cars and GRID Autosport, time to move on! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

That's a shame. The game looks pretty good, and I was looking forward to playing it.
Hopefully Grid comes soon, and Formula Fusion - which is running on UE4 - also comes to the Linux platform.

So far thats what happend to all racing games for Linux ..... its so sad, none of them wants my money.

Is there any racing game that will really come to linux? I don't think so, all I see are announcements.

My exact feelings. My wallet is eagerly wating good driving/racing sims (ETS2 is a great game, though). Feeling so tempted to buy Project CARS to play it on windoze... Lord, lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil....

We already have Iracing if you are into really serious racing.
Project Cars is also on its way!

I never even heard of this game. Is it out already (the Windows version, obviously)?

Oh lame... Well we still don't have many car/racing games on Linux at all, I was quite looking forward to this one... I guess there's still GRID and Mad Max in the works.

Nothing's coming out on Linux till it's out on Linux.

Too bad. At least we have Grid and Drift Stage to look forward to.

Not surprised, take a look at the Desura comments for the non-extreme version to see how they treat their customers. Everything in the extreme version was promised as an update coming in the next month or so, but then the developer disappeared for a year only to reappear with the extreme edition, which obviously was not a free update. Ever since the game came out on Stream, the original customer have been forgotten.

Too bad, the game was rather fun.

Actually it was made by Gamepires, you should ask them why they did not deliver (Source "Fellow Croatian Studio Gamepires is working on both a Linux version [...]").

That's not good news. Sadly Project Cars is not what it promised (a simulation), so I'll probably pass on that.

Wait, what did you hear about Project Cars?
