Since the release of the original ICR, I've barely touched
the original F1GP (I usually fire it up every time I upgrade
something on my machine to see just how it looks), but one
of the features I've always liked about the game is the
"hot-seat" option: 2 players on 1 PC.

I used it to drive both cars on my team, often finishing 1-2
if one of the cars didn't fail (kinda like Williams this year).

Does anybody know if this option will still exist in F1GP2?

Yes it does the game appears to be just the old one seriously souped
up.

I was wondering the same thing. We used to use this feature heavily
where I work. During lunch, myself and a couple of buddies would drive
multi-player and over the course of a few weeks, go through an entire
season, then we'd start over again. We each had our own driver/team
and boy was it fun talking trash while competing against each other.
This went on for probably a year and a half. Then they outlawed PC
games at work. :(

Wonder if those extended lunch hours and all the hooting and hollering
had anything to do with it? ;)

good question.
You would think that microprose would keep such a great option, as no 1 else
uses this option at the moment. We can only hope
