Just got the new issue of Motor Sport, and noticed that they are now
giving away a free copy of GPL with every 12-month subscription :-)
Also it was mentioned in the editorial again, saying they were "dazzled
by the response received to various mentions of GPL"
There's life in it yet :-)

What the magazine guys need to see is a well edited bit of gpl racing video,
that would get them talking.

In the issue of Motorsport with the Eagle and Lotus 49 on the cover (Feb
2000 I think) the following was included in the editorial:
"Following my mention of the Grand Prix Legends computer game, we have been
swamped by letters about it. Now I know the depth of feeling, I feel it was
remiss of me not to mention it sooner. For those of you who don't know, GPL
is a game based around the 1967 world championship where you get to drive
all the cars on all the tracks visited that year save Le Mans which wouldn't
play ball so Rouen was included instead.
The bad news is you need a reasonably powerful PC to make it work properly
and without a steering wheel and pedals it is a waste of money. properly
equipped however, it is the most thoroughly researched, brilliantly
conceived and thrilling PC game I have ever played. Your set-up options are
limitless, your room for improvement without bounds. Best of all, you can
piggy-back on Jim Clark's Lotus 49 and see how it really should be done."
It looks like we have a well positioned fan of GPL who could promote the sim
to the right target audience. I think the ideas of a short article or
letter pointing people to all right web sites and this NG would be a
worthwhile effort.
Cheers

Its a Brit racing magazine, and a darn fine one. Founded in 1924 and their
historical racing articles are marvelous, possibly because they have been
around to witness most of it. I pick my copies up for 7.50 $US at a very
large Barnes and Noble bookstore. It usually takes a couple weeks into the
month to get the latest issue since they're imported.
I don't know if they have a web page- otherwise I'd post the site.
