Hehe, I was thinking the same thing as I was opening this message

I was at the Ubisoft site yesterday and it doesn't say anything about an F1
sim for the PC in the near future... That's really keeping a low profile.
;-)

Any site with more info? -Don't say The Unofficial, because they don't have
zip, nada, zilch, "a number signifying the absense of a unit" either.

Get Some, Greg!  LOL  We all had a lot of hope for this title, but
turning it into a religious experience might well lead to, well, maybe
***-atheism?  Well, gotta go pray at the WSC mountain now......

Ah, sorry then :-)

I just got onto this NG after an extended weekend away and going through
tons of (to me) useless posts about a game which isn't even on the
shelves yet made me miss the subtlety of your post

That's my story and I'm sticking to it :-)
