GP2 US vs EURO versions

I just talked to a Microprose dude over the phone as I was clarifying my preorder and I asked him why is GP2 out in the UK and not the USA yet. He said the EURO version has a more arcadish version than we get here in the states. I aked why that is he said cause more arcadish games sell better in Europe whil more realistic sims sell better here(USA) I then asked whats the differance in the two versions and he said You can pick tire cmpnds and set up the pit crew and the car model is more realistic. Take it for what its worth I guess. P.S. the US version will ship the 25th-27th

...is it arcadish....if the game simulates real F1...only one compound in F1 over weekend. well...I played the whole last night GP2 and loved it... ...and if that was arcadish ...so be it...it was great... PS: if it was arcadish...hmmm...I wonder what it makes ICR2 then? :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ville Kopu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ViK at IRC, #f1 & #gp2 http://koti.kolumbus.fi/~vkopu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Second is first of loserS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sod all. This is a total fallacy. Just another example of MicroProse's astonishingly bad interdepartmental communication.

Dear Shane, I'd like to know the name of the person you spoke with. if you can really appreciate it. I don't believe there is an arcadish version of Grand prix II. The only differnece with the version numbers are language differences like the German version. Incorrect, the official release date is set for July 23rd 1996.
