According to PC Gamer again (rather an informative issue, this one),
Sony policy is always to delay PC versions until after PlayStation ones.
So, it will almost certainly come out on the PlayStation first, but
whether a PC version will follow is anybody's guess at the moment.

I read and short article about forthcoming FIA Formula 1 racing
game/simulation by Sony. The article mentions that it will have
"mathematically correct car response and collision" (sounds good),
some management aspects, 17 tracks (so it is based on 1995 season) and
"voice overs by very famous track commentator" (could this be Murray
Walker). Release date is unknown.
Does anyone else have further information about this product?

Post in haste, repent at leisure...
Upon reading PC Gamer more thoroughly, I now discover that it has been
shelved indefinitely. Perhaps they saw a demo of GP2 and decided to
throw in the towel? :-)
[P.S. sorry for the previous post with no content - blame MS Windows,
and news software with no cancel capability, I do :-)]

Yep, the commentary is by Murray Walker, confirmed at the AutoSport
International Show in January.

but this is FOR THE PLAYSTATION VERSION!
The programming company is Bizarre Creations based in the UK.
The game will have all tracks, all the racers, a two-player link up mode, and
possibly a split-screen mode (if time permits them). There will be support
for the NegGCon controller as well as the Mad Catz steering wheel system.
There will be a rev-limiter option (YES!) as well as an arcade and a sim mode.
There is a person named Sarah who is doing (I think) the music for the game,
who participates on RGVSony often and she is very helpful, although they have
not yet formally announced the product so she has to remain somewhat quiet
about the game for now. She did ask for input on features for the game, though.
Hope this helps,
Davey
Commentary by Murray Walker !!! It's worth getting for this feature
alone :-))

Murray has already recorded the voice-overs - he really got into the
spirit of the thing - a true professional! If you're interested, when
the official press release from Sony comes out, I'll post it here.

I saw a demo on a Sega promo tape and it looked pretty good [though it
was an arcade game so the collisions were unrealistic]. All the proper
drivers were there with full Sega Rally-style textured graphics.
It didn't show the REAL tracks, just some practice track...

Hello Pasi:
In seen in the February PC GAMER on page 27 it has a
little section on future game releases and it mentions the
FIA Formula 1 (Sony) as being "Shelved".
Maybe they got a look at Geoff Crammond's F1GP 2 ?

DavisIf anyone's interested in the Sony game, look in the new issue of the
playstation magazine! There's some development screenshots and it is
AMAZING. I'm more impressed with the look of this than GP2 but it's the
game that counts!

p.s.
Before anyone asks "What magazine?" It's the one with the McLaren on the
front.
