Hasbro made the blurb some time ago that they had bought the F1 rights and
got Crammond under their wing. I guess the month or so lag is why us net
gurus are so informed :)
Apparantly 1st quarter 2000 is the target release window. Apparantly again
Geoff wont be taking any ***and will say when, which means the engine will
be less of a hog than the unoptimised gp2. Remember the first gp world
circuit game he made threw around a lot of polygons at fair speed on the
machines of the day so its not like he cant optimise given the chance!
Looking forward to gp3 like u wont belive.

October 1998 it was! The issue featuring the first GPL review :-)
In the "next issue" section they wrote "we will *absolutely definitely*
have the first screenshots of GP3".... And did they? No!
