Renault in GP2

I suppose it is *much* to late for them to remove the Renault engines from GP2 before its release ;-) -- Autographics Engineer gnet : 7970 8168 GEC Plessey Semiconductors phone : +44 1793 518168

It won't be the same anyway.... the 1994 layout as simulated in GP2 is different to the current layout. In '94 post - Senna/Ratzy deaths Silverstone changed the circuit by modfying Copse, so a slower corner, Stowe was also modified to make it an earlier turn-in and make it into a sharper right hand bend unlike the sweeping right-hand swing a la GP1. The new left, right, left chicane between Club and Bridge was also added. These corners will be present on the GP2 game. But this year, Silverstone announced some more changes, many of the drivers had complained that Silverstone had been wrecked and that the track wasn't any good anymore. So since the start of the club racing season they've been ripping up the circuit yet again. Stowe has been the culprit, they have changed it back to a similar layout to pre-94, except the dip down into the Vale isn't quite the same. They will also be modifying the Copse corner to make it back to the fast 5th/6th fast corner it once was, with more run-off than before. So, hopefully with the promised "update pack" that Geoff will have started on to update to 1996/97 we will get these changes (and those changes to other circuits such as removing the sweeps on the long straight at Montreal).
