I'm unimpressed - sounds like something that requires lots of
bandwidth. I want to play this thing online damnit.

My point precisely.

No internet support or any mention of different cars to drive. BOO! HISSS!
Are they saving this for "GP World" which comes out in 2010 or god knows
when? I'm sure the physics will be nice, but I'm beginning not to care
anymore. Looks like I'll be waiting for it to hit the bargain bins.

Don't you remember GP2's multiplayer features? Or lack thereof? Wouldn't
expect much ...
Also, no mention about FF support or Internet play.

Not impressed either...

I have to say the first shots from the ECTS monitors still looked
impressive but in the real screenshots it seems indeed more like an
slightly enhanced GP2 to me. And the feature list doesn't reveal too
many new things as well - heh, the multiplayer bit is quite bizarre
for a 99 game :).

Dog!

Something new at least...

Putting 3D-sound (gimmick) ahead of TCP-IP play? Puh-leez.

3D-sound is NOT a gimmick! Hearing on which side of the car the other
cars are is quite an important and realistic thing imho. Not saying
that they should neglect tcp-ip, but who says they do?
