This is great news!

Any chance you could put a demo track on your website? Like maybe Donnington
or Brands hatch while we wait until the September release.

I think it would boost your sales :) go on give us a freebie..

One thing that I am eager to see, if someone managed to break the
track code or obtained the program sources or whatever, its that they
first start by making the kerbs more drivable. It drove me crazy
yesterday when I saw Berger and Co. clipping all the kerbs like crazy,
when in GP2 a slight touch with the front whell either makes the car
jump or sends it into a spin.

The wierd thing was that only Berger seemed to be clipping the kerb, as
it was a very steep one. Luckily for Gerhard, there was a slight bump
before it which levered the wheel onto it, reducing strain on the
suspension.

OK, since there is some proof on the instantaccess homepage now, I'll
withdraw my statement of distrust. Hope it all succeeds. Just can't wait
to driver Albert Park

It looks like more of a utilities pack. Sort of like the ICR2/Nascar
utility packs you can buy in stores now... No mention of new tracks,
besides could there be liability issues with the FIA by making
unauthorized reproductions of the new tracks?

Anyway, here's my dream: Have the 17 slated grand prixs, then a list of
optional replacement Grand Prixs. Eg. Have the Europian GP in Brands
Hatch, Zolder, Paul Richard, etc.!! Include Mosport Park as well, corner
2 is on par with Eau Rouge in terms of testing drivers ability.

with our hard earned. <<

This is an excellent idea. After seeing the junk that some people try to
pass off as ' improvements ' I doubt I'll spend a penny on any more of
these kind of packs unless I can see beforehand the kind of standard being
achieved by the producers. If the standard is at least as good as original
Gp2 tracks then this sounds like a great addition and I'll most certainly
buy it. But if I can't test the track standard I'll wait until I hear the
feedback on this forum about this product. One thing these forums are very
useful for..., if a product stinks we all soon know not to waste our money
on it.

Here's hoping that this product doesn't stink and will live up to the high
hopes even the suggestion of such a product engenders.

Cheers all,
