Several strings mention the "offroad" name in the executable
Some source code paths referencing the name were compiled into the executable from asserts.
d:\work\offroad\includes\LevelData_G.h
d:\work\offroad\client\..\Client\Includes\ClientGame.h
d:\work\offroad\includes\IADynATVPathFinder.h
The right-click/F1
popup menu references "OffRoad".

The debug symbols file name is OffRoadM.pdb
, found using either dumpbin /PDBPATH:VERBOSE FUEL.exe
or strings FUEL.exe | grep pdb
. The actual file is sadly not present.

The game's SPAFILE contains an embedded .xlast
XML file which refers to the game as Offroad

Infamous Zouna Underground community member TwoSpacesSG has theorized a series of events that could have led to this name being used at some point during development. This is pure speculation on his part, but it is fun to imagine things so I'll include it here.
- On the Polish presentation, the two companies present were EA and Ubisoft
- EA has bought the rights to Acclaim's Burnout series, so I wonder if they've also done the same with Acclaim's ATV Quad Power Racing series, and ATV Outlawed was their attempted continuation
- Acclaim releases ATV 1 and 2
- Acclaim cancels ATV 3 due to bankruptcy
- EA buys the rights to the Acclaim ATV series
- EA and Asobo by some combination of events reach an agreement to make ATV 3 (Outlawed) again out of their Grand Raid Offroad game
- For some reason it is canceled
- Asobo goes to publishers once more, finds Codemasters, and reaches an agreement to make it their new IP called FUEL (which did not see continuation)
The connection to Acclaim is further corroborated by the presence of the In-Game Advertisement system.
