Because JV has copyrighted his name. Unless Hasbro pay him, they can't use his name. Not to worry, just as in F1GP and GP2 you can change the names in the menus.

He wasn't in Official F1 Racing which was also based on the 98 season. I'm guessing that they couldn't use his name when he was with Williams, but can now that he is with BAR.

It could be something like that. I also believe JV was not included in F1RS. Probably for similar reasons. -- [email hidden] "Max Scelerate" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8llfne$kcb$[email hidden]... > In article <8lk3sv$4td$[email hidden]>, > "R4" <[email hidden]> wrote: > > Because JV has copyrighted his name.

He was included in F1 2000 and Formula One 99 by Psygnosis. Sounds to me that Hasbro just "cheaped" out on that one. So far for GP3 we have dated car liveries, no Jacques, all cars looking the same, can't hear other cars around you...

So you are too lazy to overtype "John Newhouse" with "Jacques Villeneuve"? It would have been utterly STUPID from HASBRO to pay a few $100.000 for this! JoH

ONE serious complaint (the sound), and the others just added to make it look sensible... :-) JoH
