Listening to GP2/SOUND/SAMPLE.CAT I have found a few features which sound pretty promising for the patch. Obviously there is *hopefully* the rain and pit radio to look out for, as well as 1996 cars and drivers. There is also oil, water and debris on the track to be watched out for, so these must be included. The fact that water on the track is included leads me to believe that not only is rain included, CHANGEABLE weather is included DURING a race! Dunno if rain is present in qualifying though. There is a 10 second penalty, although there's no indication as to whether it is a stop go penalty or the current one. There is a crowd cheer, presumably for winning the home GP. There are also, apparently, red flags in both qualifying and race. Now this sounds REALLY good. Red flags in qualifying seem to basically mean that the lap you are on will have to be terminated. Red flags in the race obviously mean a restart. BRILLIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT! Dave Bowers.
