 Based on what I read in ymenards E3 article on N2k, I still will buy it.
If the physics are better than the N2/N99 but not as demanding as GPL, (and
I mean demanding on brain, body and machine as well) then I think that is
fine for the stock car sim.  Imagine doing 500 miles with the GPL dynamics
and 40 cars on the track? I would need a weeks vacation after that, so would
my machine.
16 bit graphics, supporting my V2 sli would be sweet.  No graphic steering
wheel, I have my own thanks.  OH YEAH, a tach that redlines straight up like
N2 had...dammit.  Why did Papy change that in N99, I had to learn to read
the tach again. :0  And the look left/right would be cool.
Keep the sound mixer in the game, something I miss in GPL.
Free online racing (like we now enjoy on VROC [thanks A.H. and friends]) is
worth buying the title alone, IMHO.
I just hope they work on the AI allot.  Seems to me the AI got more stupid
with N99.  I like to start last and work my way through the field, and N99
has made that an allmost impossible challenge.
Don't care about forcefeedback, I get enough from the wife.

Using the GPL physics engine doesn't mean, your Ford will be as hard to drive
as the Ferrari! It's just simulating the cars better...
