F!GP2 release date and overclocking

I've just heard from Microprose that they will only release F1GP2 on the 16th July, if Pedro Lamy wins the British Grand Prix, so it looks like were out of luck !!. Has anyone overclocked a Gateway P120. Send us an email if you have any information. thanks Mat -- ---------------------------------------- | Matthew Dunning | | "In the end its not who you are, but | | who you've beaten at Monopoly !!!" | | Dr Who on BBC - Been & Gone | ----------------------------------------

Maybe we could ask them to release if Pedro Lamy does not qualify within the 107% rule parameters. Then we would be virtually assured of getting it soon. If the above is true we won't see it in this lifetime. Sorry Pedro, just joking around. I hope you win. I am sick of Damon Hill.

Maybe he cannot win, but MP can release it Damon Hill doesnt win. Didnt like your stupid joke about Pedro ... I'm portuguese OK. Why dont you joke with someone else :(((

Ok, how about, they will only release if Katayama doesn't spin out, something doesn't fall off a Ferrari, Murray Walker doesn't say "Damon, its Damon, Damon Hill, Sorry its Villeneuve !!", Eurosport don't have an advert break at the most important part of the race etc. etc. Didn't mean to offend the Portuguease ( old allies etc), so now I've just offended the Japanese, Italians, Murray Walkers mates, and Eurosport programming chiefs. Oh well, never mind !! Regards Mat

I think the criticism is directed at his driving ability; if there is a problem, don't think that it is related to nationality, just skill, luck, and engineering. Pedro needs a good team (as do most frustrated drivers) to show his stuff to the highly vocal F1 crowd. :) Being Portugese has nothing to do with his driving talents. There's a company here in the U.S. with a line of clothing called "Global Formula." I think the slogan is something like: "Peace among nations...war among drivers", or words to that effect. Don't be so quick to assume the slander is based on his country (or yours, for that matter). Look at how the winds have changed favorably for Olivier Panis. All it takes is a good result and your 15 minutes in the sun begins... Kyle

Have just spoken to HMV. I asked if the release date was the 12th July (which they currently showed on their notice board). the guy checked for me, and his reaction was "Sh*t, they've changed it again, now the 19th July" Maybe Regards Mat
