Burnout: Championship Drag Racing Goes Gold!

17 March 1998

Rockville, MD -- Burnout: Championship Drag Racing, the first true
Sportsman Class drag racing sim for the PC, has gone to manufacturing
for duplication.  Expect to see Burnout: Championship Drag Racing at
retails in late March.

Hot Rod Magazine and Bethesda Softworks teamed to make the first
computer game ever that lets you climb into your favorite dragster that
you've custom-built from scratch, peel out from the starting line,
and leave your competitors eating the smoke left in your wake. No one
has ever played a racing sim like this

Brent Erickson, Director of Development, said, "Drag racing has the
largest participation base of any motor sport and I think Burnout will
appeal to both hard-care drag racings fans and casual racing sim fans,
as well."

A special VIEWCAR utility, which lets you view each of the cars found in 
Burnout: Championship Drag Racing, can be found at www.bethsoft.com --
be sure to check it out.

Expect Burnout: Championship Drag Racing to start shipping late next
week and to reach wide circulation by the last week of March.
