I received the following PR today:

"With the release on March 23 of F1 Racing Championship on PC-CDROM, Video
System and Ubi Soft Entertainment are delighted to announce that the unified
response from the *** press across Europe has been so glowing in its
praise, that without doubt F1 Racing Championship is laps ahead of the
competition, and destined to be the benchmark title in Formula One racing
simulations."

So this should mean the game will be in stores tomorrow and not today.

Ubisoft really knows how to manipulate the market... amazing they would
write such thing.

Manipulate?? "Damn, they MADE me buy their game!"

If you replace some words, it could have come from ANY game company.

But, the good thing is, in this case I can really agree with that
marketing blabla. IMHO, it's currently the best modern F1 sim... ;)

(I still like the feel of the cars in GP3 better, but that's probably
just being used to it).

Ah cmon Ronald, why negate the aspect of marketing?

Some people just go too far, and that was the case.

Yes that would be true ;)

I still prefer the feeling of GP2 cars, and think that Icr2 is the perfect
80's F1 sim (no wheelspin, incredible reaction, wide slick tyres, turbo) ;)
