Apparently he favours a new version of stunt car racer. Personally I would
prefer a touring car sim, possibly featuring the British and German series
(with all the driving aids simulated). This seems like an obvious
progression, a bit like ICR -> NASCAR. The touring car format would make a
refreshing change from GP when you can't be bothered with the inticacies and
duration of a F1 race.
Any comments?

My only dissapointment would be that there would be no RS500s (assuming
the game was based on current regulations).
Ho hum, its OK to dream!

This'd be fun.....but a better idea [IMO.....and of course that's what
matters! B-) ] would be a return to the rumoured idea that Microprose
were chasing with him.....a SuperBike sim. Of course, a 250 GP sim would
be even better.....!!! B-)

I doubt if the 3D Engine designed for simulating F-1 cars can also simulate Touring cars, there are a lot of
differences between the behaviour of the 2 types of racing cars.
BTW, do you know if I can lockup the brakes in GP2?

JJ> Yes! This would be fantastic. EA showed that they can do a pretty
JJ> good bike racer in the 3DO and Playstation versions of Road Rash.
JJ> Even with a digital controller it has a good bike feel
Never played these.....but thought they were very much arcade
games.....it's a proper attempt at a sim I'm after. Don't know if a bike
sim has been produced with any credibility.....here's hoping!

For some years I have thought that a Rally Cross simulator would be
brilliant. Lots of power, little grip, bumpy tracks etc.
Rich.

I remember a game some time ago called Cycles I believe. By Accolade (sp?)
I believe. Used a modified version of there original Grand Prix engine.
Its the only bike game i've seen where you see the track from on the bike
not floating behind it. Not bad for its time.

Why should *THE ENGINE* influence the gameplay ???
You can make a complete different game (of course of the same genre) with the same engine
.
You only have to change the environmental graphics !
No but do you know whether there's a demo out now ?

Yeah I got this game...it runs on an old XT so..it is old...but I thought
there were plans for Microprose to release a Bike sim after GP2 based on
the same engine. Any news on this??
