Haven't seen one bug complaint (whine) about the game yet. Would that
indicate that Sir Geoff has once again managed to produce a quality
product so rare in today's *** industry (is ICR2 still in need of
patches)?
Still true multiplayer support (IPX, TCP/IP) with 26 players is somethng
I want NOW! :) And I will most certainly not use it, if I'm expected to
pay by the minute (will Hawaii EVER be available for Europeans, what about
Finns).

Hmmmm. I think the wheelspin log shows you the wheel speeds for each
wheel - not the amount your wheels are slipping on the track. I'm hazy on
this, but if this is the case the wheels should give a similar graph to
actual car speed. But the wheelspin log will vary slightly depending on
loss of traction or leaving the ground. Someone's bound to correct me on
this!
One or two (very) minor glitches in the graphics, but nothing that in
any way detracts from this great game. A few other things that could
have benefited from a closer look at ICR2 (e.g. wheel lock as part of
set-up, parade laps).
In fact my only real gripe is the implementation of the black flags.
If a penalty is required, it really must be stop-go, an arbitrary
enforced slow down for a few seconds has no place in such a realistic
sim.

Hello,
some graphics bugs are there, too. For example, if you spin in the
Adelaide bend at Magny-Cours and then your car stops right after the
corner, facing 90 clockwise from normal driving direction, you can see
cars in the wall there. It is quite similar to the famous car in the wall
at Monaco in F1GP.
Another, very annoying bug is that if you watch a replay and then one of
the camera views with the Page-Up-key, after the replay the race goes on,
but the view doesn't switch back to***pit position. If you chose the
rear-wing view, you're quite lost then!

In my GERMAN copy of GP2 after the installation it trashed my harddisk,
when i tried to set up my soundcard. So i had to rebuild my HD, no
scandisk or NDD (Norton Disk Doctor) helped. THIS is no JOKE !

Well, I respect your opinion but I disagree. I mean that, as you say, "an arbitrary
enforced slow down for a few seconds has no place in such a realistic sim", but
now you can't do a time by riding outside the track, you have to be "fair".

Other none-bugs, but annoying never the less:
the damage model is at odds with the otherwise realistic nature
of this sim - you can play dodgems in the first corner and almost
never take damage. Hit a wall head-on at 30mph? No problem.
It's great to see support for clutch, but seeing as there are so
few (any?) 3 - pedal controllers around it's not quite enough.
Support for using a button would have been good, as would
an option to enable stalling the engine.
Overall though, this is a great simulation that's going to be grabbing
a lot of my time.
Regards,
James.

I cause this totally evil crash - usually involving cars falling in half
wheels and wings everywhere, you know the kind. Or I do an almightly
overtaking move. Well I'm pretty impressed by this so I decide to get a
replay... the thing is that what my car does in the replay is NOT what
it does doing in the race - it gets slightly out of sync and ends up
with your car on the grass smacking the barrier and wiggling the front
wheels as you take the corners that aren't there anymore... This
wouldn't be too bad apart from the fact that when you exit the replay
you go back to the game as if the stuff you saw in the replay was really
what happened. This can result in going from 3rd or 4th at the first
corner to the back of the grid - pretty grim.

But other measures should be used in a race - e.g. plank wear leading
to disqualification, making the kerbs big enough to give little chance
of getting away with it, etc. Major cutting of corners should receive
a stop-go penalty as in real life.
Maybe it should refuse to save a hot lap if corner cutting occurred,
although this would no doubt lead to other problems...

No, that's right.
The wheelspin log is actually a graph of the speed of EACH wheel. If you
want to look for wheelspin, overlay your left REAR wheel against your
left FRONT wheel. If the graph suddenly spikes upward or your rear wheel
is running faster than your front one, then your rear wheels are
spinning (since the back of your car can't be overtaking the front!).
Cheers!
John
