I'm sure you can get another hefty vehicle to tow it out :)

Really needs cockpit and wheel support. Controls and cameras are a bit frustrating.

With the latest patch, I think it has wheel support. Although I have read there are some teething problems.

Seems any future updates won't be released via steam because the publisher has locked the developer out.

Maybe for you Dex, but I am topped out on SIMS. Plus, rally stuff isnt my greatest skill.

I say you should get online in AC or Pcars with us and see how you go, being a former world record holder and such. :D

If you don't mind having the slower drivers (also time poor) next to you or myself "licking the windows" towards the start, middle or end of a race then you'll be fine!

Focus Home Interactive has announced a follow-up to the 2014 off-road sim SpinTires. SpinTires: Mudrunner looks to improve upon its predecessor in a whole host of ways.
The road SpinTires traveled was as rocky as the terrain you drive over in the game. After the initial release, a major breakdown between the developer and publisher brought future development to a halt. Rumors of sabotage and abandonment circulated across the ‘net. As a result, gamers abandoned SpinTires and it was left to rust in the junkyard of sim games.

This is where new publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer Saber Interactive come in. Together, they look to breathe new life into the franchise. Also, the original creator, Pavel Zagrebelny, is involved in the development process. This means the game should contain many of the things that made it great in the first place.

SpinTires: Mudrunner puts you back in Siberia during the late Soviet-era. This means the game will feel utilitarian with its vehicle choices. Don’t let this dissuade you though. These Soviet machines will feel right at home in the muddy terrain. Gamers get 19 vehicles out of the box with thousands more available through community downloads.
For licensing reasons, all the trucks will be similar to their real-life counterparts. However, since most of us in the West don’t know a thing about Soviet-era trucks, we doubt most will even notice.
The main objective appears to be similar to the first SpinTires. You will still need to explore the map, unlock garages, find disabled vehicles, and ultimately haul logs across the map. However, Focus Home Interactive indicates that missions are now part of the game. Hopefully, this means some greater depth in gameplay instead of just exploring.
Up to four people can connect via multiplayer as well. This will come in handy, especially when you’re out exploring in the game. Getting stuck and burying your rig up to its headlights is common. Having a buddy or two around, just like in real off-roading, will make your life easier while trying to free yourself.

Also, another bit of good news for gamers. SpinTires: Mudrunner will end up on the PS4, Xbox One, along with the PC. SpinTires: Mudrunner is coming this October!

Last time I played Spintyres I got 4 trucks bogged and spent a good 1/2 hour dragging them out!
