I just saw this game at Best Buy.  Is it new or an old import?  If it is
new, is it anygood?  Does it have a***pit view with 3d acceleration?

Thanks

Yes it has 3d support, and it also has an in car view complete with hands on
the wheel.  As far as realism, I think it may be a bit more of an arcade racer,
no steup options at all, other than manual or auto trans.

Be careful that the product you saw fits the application you intend i.e.
PC or Playstation. I saw a commercial for the Playstation version
Sunday. The PC version (as far as I know) was previously not availible
in the US stores. It's an ok game, but it may not be enough for those
with discerning tastes. Personally, I think it's a good addition to my
collection. Later...

The Advert was on during the Spa F1 GP on my local Fox Sports channel.
Fox Sports Detroit.
The other Fox channels might have shown it as well.
Did you watch the Grand Prix?
Looked like TOCA on steroids.

I watched the tape-delayed (no Speedvision here) version of the F1 race.
What a nightmare that must have been for the drivers. major malfunction
on the first lap. Maybe a blessing in disguise, eventually a smaller
field. I'm surprised they kept racing in that monsoon.

My advice is just say no. It goes like this:
You hate it to start with, you can't keep the car on the road and the AI
cars knock you off once you get the hang.
But then you start to get good. You stay awake deep into the night.
Your wife leaves you.
You lose your job.
The mortgage company reposses your home.
You start stealing to get the coins to keep the electricity meter flowing to
feed the pc.
You wind up in the gutter.
Best just to say no :-)
