Yes it's very near now.

Today i went in one of the biggest Game Shop in PARIS ( La FNAC Micro)
and they were organising (with Inter) a big demo of F1GPII.

First of all they tried it on a P200 on Win 95 Dos Mode and they
stopped immediatly (really really slow) so they chose a P133 16mg with
a great graphic card to run their demo.

Let me said something, with all details on this machine on SVGA it's
was beautiful but it was SO SLOW unbelievable. When u drive alone,
with some details less (For qualifing) for example it's ok but when
the over cars come it became awful.

I tried the VGA, it's not so fast with all the cars and qll details
(expecialy in Monaco) and now it's no so beautiful, it's creappy.

For the good part, the differents menus are amazing, the music during
these menus great and the sound in general really great. I observed a
strange thing, when u race u only heard your engine the over car don't
do any sound like in GP1 :(((

To conclude : it's SLOW but it's so great to have it, the cars are
very well designed and in the ACE mode let me tell u they're
aggressive.

Perhaps Monday, or the 23 seems the official worlwide date.

     Did they play this from a DOS window also or actually from DOS? The
frame rate is bound to be worse in Windows than when one is actually
playing from DOS. It may be as much as 3-4 fps, if I'm not mistaken.
