Can I make a request for a Monaco graphics update .... on a video of old GP newsreel footage (mainly 50s and 60s) they show in a clip from the Monaco GP in the mid 60s a road sign halfway up the hill which says (in french of course) "no speed or noise" ... if someone is updating the Monaco graphics then this would be an amusing addition (though I suspect someone ought to check that it was still there in '67!)

That is something that has always bothered me as well, when I see old footage of Monaco race, it's always in black and white. Yet...games like GPL and GP3 INSIST on colorizing the buildings and streets. I want realism! Ve MUST HAF Ze BLACK und Ze White! dave henrie

Why not just turn down the colour on your monitor? :-/

I was going to make the same comment when I got round to adding some comments from what I'd seen on this video ... but forgot to. Ok, other than the general addition of colour for which the video shows no historical precedent (:-) Papyrus seem also to have sent a team of street cleaners, sign painters and general tidy-up-ers around the course as in the newsreel everything looks decidedly more grubby and tatty than in GPL. However it was sufficiently recognisable for my 4 year-old son to see the chicane at Monaco and say "look Daddy - that's where you crash" (he also describes Monaco as "bridge, tunnel, crash" :-) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

Gotta run. Hehe, to follow up on myself, yesterday night I did my first run (in 1st gear, lol) on a banked oval. Raytracing worked (although yet far from optimal)!
