Only GPL addicts would buy it, and with N4 out, I doubt even some of those would. Sierra aren't in it to provide us with sims, they're in it for the money, it just wouldn't happen, although I wish it would.

Why Papyrus don't make a GPL1982 season game: it was a very drammatic year, with the big power turbo car as ferrari, Renault, Brabham-BMW and the slower but easier to drive Williams. It was the year of Gilles Villeneuve (R.I.P.) tragedy in Zolder and Pironi bad crash in Hockenheim. Even other seasons as 1979 (Ferrari vs. Williams and Ligier) could be very nice to remake for F.1 fans. Papyrus made a FANTASTIC work with GPL, I hope is not going to finish here. I think 1982 cars could be easier to drive then 67', so the game could be a little bit less complicated and will sell much more copies.

Heh, you really think putting 1000hp on the road (admittently with the help of aero) was any easier than putting down 400hp in 1967? Besides, think of all the compromises between mechanincal grip and providing a stable aero platform bring to the setup equation. Wouldn't mind trying my hand at it if Papy produced it though, but like Tim says the likelyhood of it ever happening is very slim indeed.

Do we need talk about this each 2days? <g> -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

1982 would have me running to the store as fast as my 72 Karhman Ghia will take me as this is the year I was born. Through the years I have aqquired quite a collection of tapes, books, and pictures from this season in F1 (and other series). But...being the vintage F1 fan I am 1976 would hold even more fun for me with the 6-wheel Tyrrels, the Ferrari 312T2, McLaren M23 and also the "lesser lights" like the Copersucar, Surtees, Wolf Williams, etc. Plus the full 14 mile Ring, Long Beach, the FULL Glen, FULL Interlagos, and Zolder. Plus a down to the wire battle for the championship (even though Lauda more or less handed it to Hunt at Fuji). Ahh...well I can dream right :) Chris
