Suzuki Alstare Challenge

Suzuki Alstare Challenge is a motorcycle racing title developed by Ascaron Entertainment and published by THQ. The game was released as a French-market localisation of the wider Extreme 500 framework, branded around the Suzuki Alstare team for the French audience and reusing the same underlying racing engine.

The PAL landscape consists of a single catalogued variant covering France only, with the earliest PAL release dated 15 March 2000. Language coverage on the disc is French only, in keeping with the targeted single-market localisation strategy.

The catalogued variant ships in a Full Jewel PAL case as a single-disc release. The single-territory French-only release is unusual in the THQ PAL catalogue from this period and reflects the brand-specific Suzuki Alstare licensing tailored to a French-speaking audience. Single-territory racing pressings of this kind tend to be scarcer than their pan-European counterparts on the international second-hand market today, making this an interesting pickup particularly for French PAL collectors and motorcycle-racing genre completionists.
