Why is it that the Germans have got GP2 before the British. No offence
to the Germans, they are cool people, but they beat England in Euro 96
and now they have got GP2 before us!!! God help Microprose, they are a
mainly UK company and they decide to bring the game out in another
country first, WHY???

Maybe John Wallace may have the answer to this question

>Thank God Brazil was not at Euro 96, hehehe.....

... and to further support my theory, they have now given the next release to
the winner of the British GP, Canada.

If my theory is correct the next country to get it should be Mexico due to the
winner of the Toronto Indy !!!

Maybe you guys in the UK and the US will win some gold medals in the Olympics
in the next couple of weeks and be rewarded with the release of F1GP2 !!!!!

more games there as a single country than anywhere else..

Biggest market in Europe, too.
Heard some rumors that 'official german distributor' won't ship until
thursday. There seems to be some other distribution channel for the 'Karstadt'
markets (and some other software shops).

Hey, its us who loose sleep ... :-)))
Just try to relax two more days - the weekend will be quite hard for you.
In Germany, all of us is playing the nights away durin' a normal working
week.

I think Andrew has solved the mystery.

In Euro 96, the trophy was the release of F1GP2.

Thank God Brazil was not at Euro 96, hehehe.....

Tony,
        Nope.  If we are using that criteria to release the product, then us
Yanks will be seeing GPII around the year 2000.

I can tell you that your theory isn't correct. Today (july 18th) GP2 is available
in the Netherlands!
