I might also remind you that it's underrated, so give this show a watch if you have time.

I like the Cosmo's racing version.

The game's prototype (which shows the first-gen Impreza) is also seen in a 2000 BBC news report covering PlayStation's rivalry with Xbox. (Timestamp is at 0:09) www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3-w...

And one more capture for the 2000 prototype, showing the first-gen Subaru Impreza as well before replaced with its 2001 version as Subaru officially announced, a Ford Focus WRC at night, and a damage model. (3/3)

Some more captures of the 2000 prototype covered, with three cut cars shown (such as the Seat Cordoba WRC). There's even Colin McRae before renamed to Ford Driver due to Codemasters having him in Colin McRae Rally.

In fact, Seat leaving WRC could be the reason why the Cordoba was cut. (2/3)

The screenshots of the prototype covering the 2000 season show the cars carry old liveries, and differences before the final. 3 other cars (Seat Cordoba WRC, Airtel Skoda Octavia and first-gen Subaru Impreza) were cut.

There's also mentions of scrapped plans as well (such as TV broadcast). (1/3)

As seen in the screenshots and captures, the game would be based on the 2000 WRC season. The changes would be later made for the 2001 season, and the game was released for the PS2.

Tove Jansson's Moomin comic style is one of my favorites for sure.

Camp Lazlo mentioned!

In case where the capture is from, the 1995 issue is where it's from (the one which covers the 1995 Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix).

I saved the photo as it's nice to see it covered (I don't own it).

There's even one more capture I've managed to find while digging, and it was in a 1995 TV Guia magazine issue from September. This mentions Rocko's in SIC's Nickelodeon block, which used to air from 1994 to 1996.

Note that these photos aren't mine. These were saved on my folder.

Speaking of Portuguese magazine scans, I have some photos of them that mentions Rocko's Modern Life (or Rocko's), from a Portuguese blog I've stumbled. These magazines are in physical.

Oh, there's also Ni Amorim taking part in the 1995 DTM round at Nurburgring with Opel.

Nicely done, Owen.

Definitely one of my favorite PS1 racing games in my books.
