F1GP 2 (Magny Cours)

God I can't wait.... (but I'm gonna have to ) I have a good friend who works for a "well known" Computer Games Company here in the UK, he has been telling me 28th June for nearly 2 months now... so perhaps we can really start to believe it will be here! However I am not gonna hold my breath! The great thing is though, that in f1gp 1 I absoutely love The French GP Circuit at Magny Cours (I know in real life few drivers do, they reckon its a bit of a Micky Mouse Circuit). The point being that the weekend after the game is released is the French GP.. so I just can't wait to fly round Magny Cours on my new P166!!!!! 4 MB Matrox PC!!! Julian. PS What are other peoples favourite circuits in F1GP1? (Not real life)

Hiya m8 I love all the tracks inc Magny Cours. But my favourites are Hungary, Imola, Adelaide, Suzuka and Silverstone. Oh don't forget Monaco in the WET!!! Cya The answers are there. You just have to know where to look... Check out my web page for all your links to F1GP,Indycar,ICR2,Nascar and X-Files. Do it know : http://members.aol.com/ARobe85580/home.html

For hotlapping, it's GOT to be Monaco. There is nothing quite as satisfying (in sim-racing terms!!) as completing a fast lap around Monaco (no steering assistance of course). For racing, probably Spa or Suzuka get my vote. In GP2 though, Aida is great fun, a lovely little twist leading uphill onto the backstraight. I think it'll be popular too. Cheers!

Magny Cours was probably my favourite circuit also - I spent most of my time practising on it. It is quite strange because, as you say, the real life drivers don't like it. Other favouries are Brazil and Mexico (Mexico WAS probably my favourite real F1 circuit). Most hated circuit = Silverstone - that's pretty much in line with all comments from real F1 drivers, particularly the non-British ones who can say what they really think about it. Depending on whether they have decided to implement the changes (eg Abbey curve) made at Silverstone for the 1994 race, F1GP2's Silverstone may be even worse than in F1GP! Fraser

Late June, or early July, seems like a really safe bet. Many real drivers actually like Magny Cours. And it is not Mickey Mouse at all. But Eddie Irvine for instance is appalled by the night life there. :) Me: Spa Francorchamps (real and imagined) -- --- Terje Wold Johansen --- http://www.ifi.uio.no/~terjjo/ --- "I am your inferior superior."

It's been a while since I played it, but Spa - definitely, Portugal - I think. ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

> What are other peoples favourite circuits in F1GP1? (Not real life) I'm partial to a run around Monza (quick race) if I want fast racing action, Silverstone if I want a real challenge (the computer seems to be better there than anywhere else) or Imola if I'm feeling in the mood for fast chicane slicing.

>PS What are other peoples favourite circuits in F1GP1? (Not real life) Definitely Portugal, possibly followed by Italy except for that that last corner onto the main straight. I can't get fast enough around there using keyboard controls. I just like the rhythm of the Portugese track, it's got good passing areas (hardly a problem in F1GP without serious tweaking to make the computer drivers better, but even so...) and it has a nice range of corners. I'm waiting for F1GP2 pretty eagerly - but I'm interested in Psygnosis's F1 for the Sony Playstation too. I might wait for both to come out and, after playtesting, decide whether to buy a Playstation or spend the money on upgrading my PC. :-) -- Thomas Beagle
