Hi Megaf

Glad you like TORCS:-)

Do you mean the 1.3.0 binary installer? I did not do another one because 
there was practically no feedback and not many downloads, so I abandoned it.

I don not plan to do any distribution specific packaging, distribution 
people can do this better, and there are just too many distros out there 
(and many distributions package TORCS).

So thank you for your offer, but I have no use for the VM's (I run 64 
bit native, but for 32 bit Windows testing/development I use as well 
virtualized environments).

Best regards

Bernhard
