By "trophies" do you mean tracks?
"User friendly" sounds good... so there MAY be some possibility of editability?

The game is created after real 4x4 trophies. You must follow a pre-defined track, thru the actual terrain. (no roads) These are what we call trophies. You're alone on the track. Your only enemy is time and penalty points. You need to use exensively transfer case and differential locks. The trophies are organized into championships. You can drive only on those trophies that you have completed before on the championships.
Editability means you can place your own trophies on the track and drive on them.

What I'd like to know though, is who's calling the shots here - the Virgin Marketing people or Clevers? (as far as what the game is called or what else is included).
Just thinking aloud.

I am not quite sure about what this means (language problems
). Would you repeat it in my level
?

I for one, am curious to see this game. Not necessarily to compare it to 4x4 Evo, but to experience as a different game with a different approach.

I am glad to hear that. We think that these games could not necessarely be compared, because they are different. We've created a hardcore off-road simulator (with arcade elements) with real car* and rigid body physics, to drive slowly (very slowly) thru hills, rocks, etc... As I saw 4x4 evo is more like a racing type arcade game. So how one could compare? BTW I like 4x4 evo, the look, the game, but I am not too good in it (shame on me). (I used to go slow with a SUV and the others are always too good for
me).
*-We have modelled how a car is really working. It has an engine that could stop and you can use the starter to make it work again, you can use engine brake to slow down your movement, you can use clutch and if you're lame the motor stops. The drivetrain modell is accurate. You can select 4WD or 2WD, we have real gear ratios. (In a nutshell)
