A Linux user sent a shot in the dark to the Codemasters team with decent results. It's a matter of when now and not if! So, Linux could see another AAA racer come our way in future.

QuoteNot at launch but it is something we're looking at and having discussions around. We'd love to support Linux, is a matter of when not if and for what titles.

We already have Gas Guzzlers Extreme & Project Cars heading our way soon, but we certainly do need more decent racing sims. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I hope they will consider to port the Overlord series as well. I really liked those games. :)

Incredible news, Codemaster racing games are strong franchise.

Yes! Should this hit Linux, it would be awesome!
I'm still a huge fan of the GRID1, though haven't seen anyone online for the past year or so... so I guess I need another one. :D

I haven't played a worthwhile racing game on any platform since Forza 2. The follow ups were ruined by 3 minute load screens - made ironic by the fact that the race was frequently two laps of around a minute each.

So, yep, this is great news. They'll be tapping into a starved market too, at least for the racing genre.

Quoting: Skully[snip] Probably my most missed games since I stopped dual booting. [snip]
Brave decision, something I won't be doing for a while yet.

The FIA Formula E Simulator is also probably on the way to Linux. But this sounds like it will be something different from the usual racing sim with features like racing live with the real events and such.

I think it was a great turn from Codemasters if they support Linux with all her games.
