Take 2 unveils new "off-road stadium racing" game

Take 2 have announced that they will be publishing Ratbag's "Leadfoot" in Q2 2001 (in English, that's some time between April and June), and to celebrate they sent us a batch of brand new screenshots of the game in action. And very nice they are as well. Featuring a championship mode which includes a massive 180 events across 15 series races, three different classes of upgradeable vehicles to trash, and support for up to ten people to duke it out over the net, Leadfoot is already looking rather special. It's also one of the few games to cover the arcane art of "stadium off-road racing", which sees cars tearing around custom-built dirt track courses in both indoor and outdoor stadia. Look out for this fender bending all-action racing game coming to a store near you in the not-so-distant future.
