One very good reason why they shouldn't.

Nobody would buy it.

The GPL community has been crying out for GPL2 for ages, so why all of a
sudden would nobody buy it?

Lol SpeedFreek.

And with this post, DGF shows that he's only a troll, and will always be
unless he admits that he actually doesn't give an arse about racing sims,
that he never did.

DGF != the GPL community.  He has never been part of it, far or close.  He
admitted it, that most of his GPL time comes from the demo.  He can't
understand our view of the situation, considering his external POV.  He
cannot grabs that GPL sold to the market that it was created for, and it
sold pretty well for each and every one of us.  That GPL still sells.  That
GPL in europe sold very well.

often...could you summarize what's contained in the pages you mention?
Scann photos...links...text ...that would be nice too  :)

For the record, I'd buy it.

For the record. I hope I'm wrong.

Wrong, I would buy it :)

Did you know GPL actually sold in line with expectations in europe?  Sierra
said they were not dissapointed with european sales at all.

GPL2 has a few things in it's favour to do a little better than GPL,
assuming of course that there is a GPL2 in production.  For instance-

- it's more recent and the cars look much more like modern F1 cars
- the cars also look more exciting
- it will run much better on current hardware than GPL did when released (I
remember running GPL at 16 fps in training)
- the cars will have more grip (through downforce) and should be easier to
drive
- there are more PC owners than 3 years ago
- GPL has a good reputation
- Papyrus have a good reputation and N4 has spread this reputation wider

All things in it's favour.  Anyway, I guess DK will be making it mainly
because he wants to make it and not simply for sales.

Simon.

I'm guessing it's something to do with Can-Am.  Also, go to www.ewacars.com
for pretty reasonable rates on US "MotorSport" subscriptions - much better
than if you go to the publisher directly, I assume because they're shipping
in bulk rather than individually.
