I know I'll get flamed for asking this, but is there any information
available, have Microprose set a date on F1GP2 release?

And, have they yet released a demo of the game?

MICROPROSE GRAND PRIX 2 HITS THE WALL
Tragedy of tragedies... The incredibly long awaited Grand Prix 2 from Microprose has been delayed indefinately!
The story is a bit of a saga... project leader Geoff Crammond - famous for his the first Grand Prix (World Circuit in some countries), has
apparently produced a game so unbelievably sophisticated that no existing PC could ever run it. Microprose are understandably
upset and talk of legal action against Mr Crammond abounds.
The fate of the game is unknown at this stage, but it's believed that Microprose are hard at it trying to tune the game to run on an
average machine. This probably means losing some of the features built into the initial game.  
We're*** out for this one as badly as you, so stay tuned and we'll give you the full story as it breaks.

GRAND PRIX 2 UPDATE
March is now the revised release date for GP2. Apparently the problems wern't as huge as previously indicated, but much work is still
to be done to get GP2 up and away. We await with eager anticipation.
