On the offical gp3 site... www.f1grandprix3.com under Game
Overview\Features it says Multiplayer on LAN for 4+... I was wondering
what this ment.  I checked out the FAQ this was there....

Q. What about multiplayer?
    A. As well as supporting hot-seat and direct serial link, GP3 will
also support a minimum of 4 players via LAN.

Let me get this right... you MUST have 4 players to play a multiplayer
LAN match?  Is it just me or is this really messed up?

It's a typical FIA *** theory !

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise
how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

  I think what they are saying is that in a LAN enviroment, 4 players
and "maybe" more will be smooth.  The minimum they are shooting for is
not the # of players, but how many drivers can join before it starts
timing out, or crashing because of lost packets etc.  
  8 is pretty much a default # when LAN users are counted, but they may
not be able to guarentee smooth gameplay with that many, so what they
are saying is......game play won't suffer with 4 or more players.  Thats
the minimum # they are willing to accept.  If they get 6 playing
smoothly fine, that means 2 will run even better.

.........still cant believe they wont include Internet-support...........are
we in the 19th century still? Have they ever heard of RAS? ........if
so.........did  they ever read the GP3-posts here?.......ahh
well.......still hoping for the best

Unfortunately the FIA doesn't allow for Internet-support with their official
licensed games...If a developer wants an FIA license, then they're not
allowed to provide Internet-support...Why? No idea...

Because they are a bunch of old farts, maybe? ;^)
