Just got this months PCGamer today, inside was alittle article on GP3 and also a video on one of the disks. So as most people know the Arrows team has had a lot of input into the game, the article mentions that drivers from Arrows recently had the chance to visit Hasbro and test the latest build of the game. I quote from the article " apparently they got on it straight away and started tweaking the setup and lowering their lap times, one after another". They announced the handling was almost "spot on," although the grip level in the wet was thought to be a little generous. Shit this sounds pretty good to me, I mean these guys Know what they are talking about. I settled down in the evening and thought I would check the disks out and started with the GP3 video, This totally blew me away, I mean this made me feel like I was there the atmosphere was incredible. A couple of accidents one with the Jordan being tagged by an Arrows breaking the rear wheel off the former with the arrows front spoiler flying off as it went through the gravel trap. Just looking at it I get the feeling that theres alot of the earlier series in there, which has got to be a good point as that is a solid place to build on. So roll on the 28th of this month and lets hope this is the one to make things right on the F1 simulation front. Snake.

This like the video referred to here can be downloaded from http://www.itv-f1.com/g_prix3 Looks a bit low-res and *so* GP2 - can't decide if that's a good thing or not !

That video has been around for quite a while now, it's not new, but it is very impressive.

Don't believe everything you read, especially when they are getting paid by Hasbro. What else could they say? I'll believe it when I see it.
