I know that Psygnosis are bringing out their 3Dfx conversion of
"Formula 1" from the Playstation....does anyone know when this
will be available? Someone mentioned March. Any ideas?

Also, just read about a game in development (tentatively titled
"F1") from a joint project between EIDOS and Lankhor (note that
I'm NOT talking about the EIDOS "Power F1" game). Apparantly
McLaren have had some dealings with them to develop the
simulation. It will also support network play and will be based
on the 1995 season. Any ideas on when this will be coming out and
what (if any) 3D support it has (eg Direct3D and/or direct
support for 3D cards like the 3Dfx)?

Things seem to be looking up for F1 games on the PC at the moment
:-)

Also, does anyone know of any PC based F1 games that are in
development or are available (except Micropose GP1 and GP2!)?

TIA

If I remember correctly , Mclaren was working with EIDOS on power
F1...am I right?? I seem to remember reading it on power f1's web
page...Power f1 does not support 3d cards...(at least not out of the
box but maybe later with a patch)

Some are saying they played the game, but has it been released yet? it
is still in the upcoming title section on EIDOS web page

New f1 game on the way that I'm aware of are: Starting Grid by
Visiware and F1 by psygnosis...are there any other MAJOR games due
out?
