From everything I've seen, it certainly seems like it will be a realistic and fun sim with gorgeous graphics. Can't wait to try it for myself. I also like this approach: "GD: Do you regard other sims like Grand Prix Legends and Colin McRae Rally 2 as benchmarks to beat, in terms of physics and graphics? BugBear: There is no comparison! :-) Seriously, of course there is always intention to do things better than others do, but we haven't used any particular games as direct benchmarks. Rally Trophy will set new benchmarks for others." Set your own very high standards and don't worry about the rest.

Btw Ilari, This was a extremely interesting & profound comparison in the article: Up until 12th January, nobody had ever heard of Bugbear Entertainment, but these days the name is mentioned around the Net with the same hushed and revered tone normally reserved for Papyrus or the West Brothers. Why? Because this small Helsinki-based group aims to do for PC rallying what **Grand Prix Legends** once did for F1 sims. **=footnote emphasis :-) "Ilari Lehtinen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9jur7e$4bg$[email hidden]... | This time it's featured in Gamesdomain's special rallysim article series, | and again it seems the previewer liked it.

Driver and co-driver are thrown around to some degree, and this means your in-car view will be equally .. erm.. stirred and shaken. :) -Ilari ymenard wrote:

This is second preview I've seen that mentions the Porsche 911. But in a JoWood forum the developers told us that the Porsche would not be included. Which is it? On Sat, 28 Jul 2001 20:04:03 +0300, "Ilari Lehtinen" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Porsche and Hillman are both cars that seem to lurk in several previews and articles. They were included in the original (read: old) design documents but didn't make it into the final game. So no 911 or Imp. Ilari Lehtinen Bugbear Entertainment "Peter Holt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Now you can regret all those money you spendt on NFS or Gran Tourismo! :-))) Joke aside tho.... I could do without the Porsche... but the Imp is a big loss! (who own 'that' these days anyway?

Could be, and yes, I'd love to give the Imp a go myself, but with a Coventry Climax engine in it, the connection to old style F1 racing would probably make me a GPL die hard in some people's eyes......:-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://members.prestige.net/bttw/teammirage/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

The Rootes Group were bought out by Chrysler, and then later Chrysler Europe was sold to Peugeot. -- Steve

Ok, so it's Peugeot we should despise for the Imp not being in RT then, and not Rover ?
