Funny that they ported the lesser known and played Codemasters title (Dirt 3 is much better imo), which has the same engine, and basically just the gamemodes are different.
Probably got a better deal on the publishing rights. People seem to think VP, Feral and Aspyr can simply decide to port whatever they want. We'd see all the big money makers on Linux if this was true.

Instead of Showdown, buy FlatOut 2 on GOG, turn music volume to maximum and enjoy the carnage. Runs better, has better atmosphere and silly gamemodes too.

The game seems kinda limited (very small tracks), but it is fun. I have no problem alt-tabbing and stuff, after turning unneccesary graphics down, it runs super smooth and looks very pretty to my eyes.

I'm gonna look at trying burnout paradise with wine, I am really curious about that game! Seems quite a creative idea.

If you want an older open world driving game (for Windows), I suggest you give Driver: San Francisco a try. If you can find it. Ubisoft's store maybe.

I just hope we will see Dirt Rally this year (please), although I probably won't be able to run it well.
Feral's on it, according to steamdb.
