Does anyone know if grand prix II is going to have all the real sponsors? if there is a problem with tabacco and other things they should mispell it/ for example marboro instead of marlboro.

There is a bit of trouble with tobacco sponsorship, so instead Crammond's team have substituted symbols and other clever methods, just as is done in real GP racing in countries like the UK and Germany! This means that 'Rothmans' is replaced by 'Racing', and 'Mild Seven' is replaced by 'Benetton'!! I think that mis-spelling the names would have been too unrealistic, and the method used in the game is an actual method used in real-life anyway. I believe ICR2 uses the same technique, as tobacco sponsorship is illegal in some states. Regards, 'Smoking' Dave Bowers ;-)

OK. This gives rise to a new question (I think) that I haven't seen answered anywhere. Will F1GP2 have a painting feature like NASCAR or ICR2? A Goodwrench F1 car might be interesting!

=> Does anybody know if there will be a utility to edit these cars? ie => paintkit etc...? I know this was discussed here, but I do not remember => the answer on the paintable cars issue. NO, at least not now
