I contacted “inside source” to help solve this mystery.

My source has this to say:

That is indeed correct. C3 Racing (???Car Constructors??? Championship,??? BTW!) was released in Europe under that title, but in the UK we were able to secure a tie-in with the UK tuning/car magazine Max Power, so the game was released here at Max Power Racing.
I hope this helps!

hmmm, no, it didn’t help because we found an English “C3 Racing”.

I *think* C3 Racing may have been released in the UK as an unofficial
import. Now I think of it, I do seem to recall seeing it on shelves over
here, although officially the game was always “Max Power Racing” in the UK.
That could be the source of the matter.

nope, can’t be as our English “C3 Racing” surely is NO Australian/New Zealand import and that’s the only other country that has english releases.

I’m not sure about the mystery of the two versions of the game! Our
involvement usually ends when we hand over the master disc to the publisher.
It might be worth contacting Atari and asking them, as they may be able to
help!

yes, after the really ultra-fast and friendly help and responses from my source I don’t think it will go that well at… Atari. Let’s see. I keep you posted.
