This week's Autosport magazine has got some interesting screenshots.
They also say that force-feedback has recently been added to the
game. Most of the article reads like an advert so there may be a bit
of bias in there!

Actually all the screenshots look familiar so I reckon we've all seem
them before. It was just nice looking at them all on one page.

There is some comment in there that the Arrows F1 drivers were used
to assess that the wet weather grip was accurate. They also stated
that the drivers were very impressed with the graphics.

In wet weather, there will be reflections from the track.

As the track dries the reflections start to disappear and the track
takes on it's normal matt finish.

You can cool your wet tyres by driving on the puddles.

If engine temp starts to increase then the driver needs to keep an
eye on the throttle and not push too much in case the engine goes.

Finally got a copy, sounds nice, I didn't actually know that tyre temps
would be taken into account, apparently so. This is great, a small thing but
something which could easily b overlooked.

And you'll need *what* speed Cray to run with all graphics? :)

The glaring ommision in this article was the total lack of word about online
possibilities!
