My local store now say on good authority that the release will be 14th
July in the UK (was 28th of june last week)
.
Maybe the fact that the British Grand Prix is that week has something
to do with it. Please e-mail if you know different.

I can confir that Grand Prix 2 will be released on the 15th July to
co-incide with the British GP - A deliberate marketing move by Microprose
to sell more copies when interest in the sport is at it's peak in this
country.
I'm still hearing the odd rumour that GC has "left" MPS - if so,
hope he got a sizeable golden handshake for all the effort he put
in despite SH/MPS marketing shambles.

15th July, thats a Monday. Seems a bit of a strange day !. Why not release
it on the 12th, a Friday. Practice begin then, as then qualifying !!.
Seems a bit daft to keep changing dates and its pi**ing off various shops,
such as HMV and ***.
I hope its worth the wait.
Mat
Crammond has _never_ been employed by MPS. He's effectively a
*** programmer whose stuff has been published by
SH-MPS. Presumably he's signed away his soul to MPS at least for GP2
and couldn't find another publisher now without tying himself and the
game up in legal red tape until the end of eternity.
Pity really.

If GP2 is being released to coincide with the British Grand Prix, I
wonder if we in the states will have problems getting it. Does that
mean I will have to go to some obscure software store at 0030 to find a
copy that will be shortened because, in Bob Varsha's words "due to time
constraints, we join the action later on in the race". I don't want to
start the French GP, only to have my race accelerated and run at normal
speed somewhere near the end. Oh, woe to those whose nefarious cable
systems don't offer ESPN2.

The Game will be sold for the first time at a stand at the GP on the
race day (that's the latest info) , could change though.

Geez! I hear you LOUD AND CLEAR!!! I am supposed to be getting ESPN2 soon,
but for now and for the last few months it's been a blank screen. Racing fans
unite!
P.
Is that the latest news _before_ the news that they would be showing the
game at the stand but not selling it, or _after_ it?
Still, I'll be there on Friday, just in case!
