PC Gamer (UK) has got a great avi. file on its cover CD this month,its
about a minute long.The first 30 secs are on board with Hill racing
around Brazil I think, he loses it and ends up in a sand trap.The first
thing that hit me was the sound, very good
throaty roar and nice backfiring when changing down.The graphics are
simply stunning although I don't think the avi file does them justice.
Don't ask me to post it, it's about 18meg.

It's on the Web - look back at posts from the last week, someone posted
two or three different addresses. You'll be disappointed though, the
game looks and sounds pretty good, but the AVI is awful quality and
really doesn't show it off well.

The video is of silverstone. There is just over 2 minutes of it, but
its not perfect quality as its a little grainy (as most avi files)

The glint affect of the cars are there, and the movement and rocking
of the car off the track looks great especially from outside views.

The marshalls animation on flag waving is looking good, although
I still only have seen the yellow and green flag, no others.

In the clip, there are a lot of retirements, I hope they don't crash
out that soon on the finished article.

The sound is impressive, screaching on corners, AI
cars have a different tones on the external viewing.

Shadowing on cars and bridges are in evidence, as well as
helmet tint and movement.

The external view zooms in and out.

Sounds fantastic. I cannot wait. I hope we in the US get the file on
one of our game mags. (UK mags are just too expensive overhere!)

Heck, they're too expensive in the UK! If the avi is all you're
interested in (as I was) it is *much* cheaper to download the thing
