Stunt Car Racer Pro announced

UK-based developer Geoff Crammond, who is best known for his successful Grand Prix series of PC racing games, has recently announced that his current project is a sequel to the Commodore 64 racing game Stunt Car Racer. Currently known as Stunt Car Racer Pro, the game is described as a radical evolution of the original game, and it is currently scheduled for release sometime in 2004.

"A sequel or upgrade to Stunt Car Racer has been suggested by various third parties over the years, but I could never agree to anything which didn't have my complete involvement at every level," said Crammond. "My commitment to Formula 1 simulations over the past few years was very intensive and just didn't allow me to work on any other projects. Now, the time seems just about perfect to produce Stunt Car Racer Pro."

"A new version of Stunt Car Racer is one of the most anticipated driving games ever," said John Cook, Crammond's business manager. "The game has exceptionally high brand recognition among opinion formers and we have a new take on multiplayer/Internet play which will make Stunt Car Racer Pro a genuine AAA title next year."

It's not yet been confirmed which platforms Stunt Car Racer Pro is in development for, or which company will be publishing the game, but further announcements are expected in the next few weeks. We'll bring you more information on Stunt Car Racer Pro as soon as it becomes available.
