Ok, I know GP3 only has one carshape, which considering GP2 has 2
is.......well you know, plain odd.
The thing that gets my is that the car doesn't even look like an F1 car, but
much more like an F3000. No, seriously it really does look just like a
current F3000.
I just can't understand this one. GC, such a fussy man over details (so
we're told) yet he isn't fussed over this one detail.

It looks odd indeed, but it really looks more like a 1998 Formula 1 than
people might think. Best example is to look at the first ferrari in 98.
The only problem is that the GP3 nose goes too much down compared to any
real-life 98 F1 car.

Compare those two pictures from Forix and AtlasF1.

AND: the DRIVER HEADS are the correct size! As we know that is just about the
most difficult thing to get right in a F1 sim. ;-)

It has 3 actually:-)
Yeah, your very right about that. Thing is though that the cars are actually
based on the Arrows we are led to believe and they do actually look lke the
Arrows.... combine that with slight deformations in the screenshots and they
look damn near F3000 cars.....
Although,in the proper game the cars will look more "stretched" than in the
screenshots so it should work out ok.

One car shape probably allows code optimizations.
Just like F1 2000 all cars have same sound, even
though SCGT allowed different sounds. I think
all GP3 car physics will be the same? If so, it's
fine with me, ought to run faster than F1 2000, which
already has different car shapes and physics. No
point in putting out the same game just different name.
Well, he's not going to beat F1 2000 in car shapes, since it
does the current season cars pretty good. He has to
provide an alternative, a reason to buy GP3. And he
can do that by fussing over stable and effecient code,
track accuracy, FF, replay, stable, right out of the box.
If he has all that, I say let the cars go, and put the game out.

Quite a difference indeed. fortunately GC's car looks better :)

Thanks for the offer but no, I'll simply stick to what comes in the
box.....ugly or not! :-)

You never fail to amaze me Bruce...
