This is a small story from April`s issue of PC Zone.
Although nothing has been officially confirmed by Microprose, it`s
believed that the sequel to the massive Formula One Grand Prix is on
the way and due for release early next year. Rumour has it that GP3
will feature a network option and possibly a new licence that will
bring it bang up to date with last years F1 season. There`s also the
possibility that Crammond will be adapting the code and models to
accomodate some of the new regulation`s, recently introduced by the
FIA as well as updating the tracks, teams and cars.
Fans of F1GP2 will be well aware how processor-intensive the game
is, and is thought that as well as introducing a multi-player option to
compete with the forthcoming F1 titles from Psygnosis, EIDOS and
Papyrus`s Indycar 2, Crammond will be refining the existing code to
take advantage of the graphical wizardly now offerd by
DirectX,MMX and a number of dedicated 3D accelerator cards such
as PowerVR and 3DFX.

Hi Derek,
The one thing that stands out is that PC Zone mentions (indirectly)
the '96 season...I don't think this will fly AFAIK, since Coconuts of
Japan holds the '96 rights...
