Are the tracks cambered?

Are the AI improved?

Formula One racing is the most popular form of motorsport
worldwide and there are probarbly as many people in Japan or
Malaysia who watch each GP as there are in the USA.  These
people are also likely to buy GP3 and if there is a very big
chance of latency problems arising over such distances and
Discos occuring which would blow away any found at "Win the Rock"

I think Microprose have been very sensible to not try and
include a feature which could only end in alot of very
frustrated consumers.

I thought it was the FIA who decided not to allow multiplayer (or
TCP/IP, at least) facilities in GP3? I can't imagine Crammond & Co would
simply choose not to put it in.

Cheers James, here's a couple then:

Will dirty air be simulated through the corners so that you have to back
off if you get too close to the car ahead otherwise the car starts to
wash out?

Will in race setup changes be able to be made on the fly, a la N3, so
that pit stop strategies can change as a race progresses?

No person's opinions can be said to be
more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.

ok I got one question

need a beta tester? :)

or better yet.. when's the demo available...

WE NEED IT NOW !!!!!!

I read somewhere that this was simulated in GP3. Might have been that
interview with Geoff Cramond that some one posted to
alt.binaries.simulators.autos

They say it is just a matter of position warp being to much of an issue in
racing eachother, in their opinion, so they left it out "as to not detract
from the *** experience" or somesuch (would have to look up the exact
wording).

In my, not so humble, opinion they should put it in and let US  decide
whether we feel it detracts or not.

Thanks for this opportunity.

Will engine failures leave a trail of oil on the track?

Will off camber turns be more accurately modeled? I felt that in GP2, one
corner at Aida (can't remember what it was called) was excessive on this
point.

Can we look left and right while in the pits to see the pit crew working?

Have all of the tracks been re-examined from GP2? I felt there were
inaccuracies in some of them. Hungary comes to mind...

Will we stay in the***pit after crossing the finish as we did in GP2? I
hope so...

Is there anything done with regard to a podium ceremony?

What is the type of information we can expect from the radio during the
race?

Thats all for now..

It was running on a Pentium 3 500, with a G400 graphics card..  Direct 3d..
Frame rate was good.

What ever you can afford  :-)

There official word was... "We can see the light at the end of the tunnel"..
and that was that.

Extremely detailed..  INcluding tire temperatures and pressures.  Very
details car setup.. .. etc.

Definatley.

I saw the file structure.. it is almost ideticle to GP2 in terms of file
layout and structure  (NOT GAME)

YES!!.. and this is the big thing.. you can do a race.. 3 laps in.. it
starts to spit with rain.. do you pit??  There WILL be a drying line.   YOu
can go on to the wet part of thre track to cool off your tires...  It will
spit, pour.. with varying degrees.

Not sure..

Not sure..

They mentioned that Geofff was working on the Damage model as we spoke.  It
isn't implemented as yet.  (current demonstration code is dated at Jan
2000 - Alpha)

Not sure.. but the car CAN flip over...  Most likely I guess

If you ask nicely..  VERY nicely  :-)

Please do.. hope this helps..

KEEP THOSE QUESTIONS COMING!!
