F1GP 2 'Rolling Demo' on PC Zone CD

Suggest any Europeans looking forward to F1GP II grab a copy of the (always)
excellent PC Zone (Jan 96). The second cover CD is a MPS promo item containing
videos in .MOV form of up and coming games. One of them is a jaw dropping video
of the start of a race in F1GP2. I swear it could be a TV film as the cars pull
away from the start line. We then see them going through what looks like the
Becketts (?) complex at Silverstone. The detail and lighting is amazing. The
only down side is that it can only be played in a small window to keep it
smooth. Note this is a video, not the actual game. These are the first pics I
have seen of more than one car in motion and believe me they are amazing.

I think Papyrus have got a problem on their hands if MPS ever release this baby
cos it looks like a million quid compared to ICR2. Funny how much difference it
seems to make having trees at the side of the road to the sensation of speed!

By the way, don't bother asking me to upload this to ftp, it's the thick end of
5 meg and I do not have free net access :-(.

I may be able to post it somewhere tomorrow. Maybe my Web page...
