The current UK edition of PC-Gamer has a set of GP2 utilities on the cover CD (all of which are available on the net) but, interestingly, they say that there WILL be GP2 update to the '97 season later this year! This magazine must have some inside info because Microprose have always denied and GP2 update or GP3 were going to happen. Idealy this update would have wet weather, network play and 3dfx support :) but the 97 cars/drivers/tracks would be fine by me Rob

You are talking about GP3... they say it will be released in 1998 some time.

I read that too, I hope its true.
I wonder how they will do this considering they don't have the rights to the 1997 season? Cheers! John

There all over >the web, not to mention at http://www.volftp.vol.it/GP2 , though you are >right, the 97 tracks would be v.nice :) They might be nice for realisms sake, but looking at the mess that was made of Imola and the other tracks (do I hear 'chicane frenzy anyone?'), it mightn't be long before you'd go back to the old tracks!

OOh I do and they are great! But I would happily pay 30 quid for the additional tracks and 3dfx support :) Rob

Aside from all of the improvements that we could hope for in GP3, I'll be very, very happy if it just has the same driving model. It feels unlike any other sim in my opinion. 'course a Rendition patch would be remarkable, etc, etc.. Raevyn
