I read it is supposed to be released Oct. 2nd. Or is that just the
Playstation version and not the PC version?

Oct 3 at electronics boutique in the states :o)

think it will be any good? Way I look at it is a good physics engine is a
must and if online multiplayer is not an option the the AI must be very
good. Asking a lot IMO the way games are produced outside of Papy.

  I thought they were building multiplayer into the sim so you didn't need
to use F1rst to hook up with other users.  Am I wrong?

There was a very promising preview which I critisiced - then got a flameing
for doing so.

Perhaps EA will suprise us - but frankly - I dont expect much

I'd hope we'd wait for perhaps a Demo (unlikely) - or some guinea pigs to
grab it first - to then say it's ***- and save us 30

I looked all over the EBWorld web site and cannot find any mention of F1
2001 or a 10/2 release date.

Did you contact a local store?

I guess I can be the guinea pig. EB has a $$$ back guarantee on hardware and
software (opened or not). Great way to test high priced gfx cards too ;o)

Buffalo NY EB said Wednesday Oct 3, she looked it up on the PC. Radeon 8500
Oct 17 for those who like to drool...

hehe..

  I've only seen one quick preview of the 8500 so far.  They felt it was
just slightly faster than the GF3 with it's newest drivers.  However they
were pretty leary of ATI's drivers so they weren't cheerleading too much.
