The middle screenshot is obviously from GP2, but wow.

Looks like it could have great graphics, but what PC system will it need to run smooth with all cars. When GP2 came out, I had a
fast PC for the time and the game ran a bit slow with all graphics and car. If the driving physics of GP3 are at least as good as
GP2, then I will play it even if I can only run a few cars with these graphics.
Cant wait!

I don't get it.

It may look pretty, but surely if the physics engine is virtually the same
as GP2, then whats the point. It will be effectively GP2.5 or GP2+

Surely the real reason to buy this sim is if the physics are more realistic
than its predecessor.
Since GPL came out, nothing has got close. GP3 must be at the same level.

Shame that won't happen because 'arcade' drivers will moan its too hard.

GP3 will also sell even if the physics aren't that different, just because
of the name.

Ohh well, my opinion :)

Very pretty but why do we always see ***y Monaco when these "first shots"
are published?!!

I just want a modern F1 sim that has more realistic physics than the UBIsoft tittles. If Papy does a modern F1 sim with the GPL
engine and the car feels like a modern car with downforce and stiff suspension (actually I would really like it with early 80's cars
that had big tires and no ground effects), then I might like it better than GP3. I just want something with modern graphics and
better physics than the Ubisuck games.

I find the visual image of the steering wheel turned but the front
wheels pointing straight ahead worse than the old missing front
wheels. Do it right, Crammond!

I cant wait either, the graphics look great!
I guess there is no chance of the malaysia track being on there too is
there?
i saw a screen shot showing an Arrows car all in black DANKA livery
does that mean we wont have Bar on the original team lineup?
Will the game be for the 98 season or the 99 season?
i have a P3 500 with voodoo3 3000 do you think that will be enough
horsepower? LOL:-)

Why is it that, no matter which direction the steering wheel is pointing,
the front tires always look like they are pointing straight?

Solution! Take that damn worthless steering wheel out, you already have one in
your hands.  How many are necessary?  Make the tires turn and shitcan the
steering wheel.  Paul

I thought that maybe it was a wide angle view that made the wheels look toed in so that when the car is turning, the inside wheel
looks straight ahead.
Also I never really thought of how difficult it must be reading a dash on the wheel that tilts.

 No, not complaining, my favorite sims, GPL&VR, both have steering wheels.  My
point was, who many do you need?  When I drive a real car I have one in my hands
and that appears  to be enough, I sure don't need anoither superimposed on the
dash.  Paul
