Just reading in the new PC Format magazine about the follow up to Grand Prix
Manager.
Only one screen shot but what they say sounds good.

Anybody know of any links to this game, says its being developed by Edcom,
but I can't find anything on the web.

Thanks

Brian

Microprose/HASBRO is the publisher of this.  Is there any way you can scan
that screenshot ? Was it a game menu or actually a representation of the
"race".  I hope it has some sort of game engine by itself to simulate GP's.
The ultimate thing would be that Grand Prix 3 and Grand Prix Manager can
co-exist.  That would be incredible, alot like the NASCAR Manager idea that
Adam Levesque (was it him or Mr. Matson?) had for Papyrus.  You would manage
with NM, and after do the whole racing situation with Nascar Racing 2.

It was only a menu screen showing the livery of the McLaren (Sorry don't
have a scanner).
What the article does say is

"Gone are the coloured dots zipping around a plan view of the track.
Welcome fully customisable eveny coverage via TV views.  Watch important
corners of each official track, beautifully rendered and overlaid with the
competing cars.  Or display several of the most important corners at once,
drop in an overhead view and even stick in timing displays and information.
It all adds up to a more realistic experience.

For the first time, a GP management games gives you the views the the real
team managers enjoy at the pit lane.  Break lap records with the genuine
drivers, teams, sponsors and tracks, and see what it's like to manage a real
sport."

They also say that the release date is November 99.

Can't wait to see more screen shots.
