The best place to ask for this is in the tracking systems of the respective distro. There are packages for various distros available, a quick google seach gave me this site: http://pkgs.org/download/torcs, maybe there are more.

Fun.
On 'ask ubuntu' I was redirected to developer.
Ubuntu has a long term of testing. So their 'software center' still contain 1.3.3 version. I spent a lot of time to find 1.3.6 in .deb or .ppa or some repository - without success.
Is it really hard to pack the latest torcs in .deb ? (it is a question)
I tried to do that with 'alien' (programm for fast packing tar.bz2 into various packages) but torcs crashes at start.
Well, a bit later I installed it via terminal, but what about other users? It would be very good to simplify installation process in ubuntu.
OK, Your logic is next: a lot of linux distros, so no time to pack for everyone and solution - is unified archive.
My argument is: debian is the most popular linux ;)
I hope to see the next release in .deb

Can we have a .deb pack for latest torcs?
This will make installation on ubuntu (and all debian based system) much more easier.
