Well I bought this game the other day in the North East of England for the price of 29.99 UKP, - sorry don't know the conversion to Lire :-) previously having seen it running on a Playstation. Minimum specs are: 486DX4/100 minimum - P90 Recommended MS DOS 6.0 or W95 (DOS MODE) 8 Meg Ram Vesa Compatible SVGA Card Double Speed CD Rom Supports all major soundcards Very much an arcade type game, although there is the facility to set up your car - tyre pressures/gear ratios/wing angles etc. Its not a sim in the way that GP2 is and I don't think that it sets out to compete with that game. Graphics are very detailed and can be reduced/increased to suit the speed of the CPU. 17 F1 tracks to compete on - seem to be true to the real thing. 2 Player Split Screen Option Having played the game for a couple of days I can say it definitely falls into the arcade category. Not knocking the game for that. The graphics are excellent and the game speed is good (I'm using a P100/16 meg) and the action is quite believable. Various driving positions can be used to view the car, i.e. inside the***pit or from a chase point of view. The detail when cars crash is not as good as GP2/NASCAR etc. as you don't see bits and pieces falling off :-). If you after a racing game that is easy to play without having to be a virtual mechanic then this is the game for you. Lets call it the F22 Lightning 2 of the racing scene, i.e. you can climb in and drive straight away. Cheers Steve Whitley Bay North East England
