GPL-Hype

10 posts by 7 people · 01 Feb 1998 - 04 Feb 1998

I think GPL will be the racing-game with the most hype before the official release. So i will do also my part to it. Can somebody tell me how many tracks will be "comfirmed by Papyrus" available in GPL and off course which one's At the Sierra homepage I read about Zandvoort. Spa was announced in this News-group. But will there also be a Nurnburg-ring (Nordschleiffe) or something like that. Greetings from Holland, Johan -- J. Clermonts www: http://www.xs4all.nl/~NRTH ____ \-Napalm Racing Team Holland => ( o ) ============= ( o ) \__

Hi Johan, The following tracks are definitely in the game; Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) Rouen (France) Watkins Glen (USA) Mosport (Canada) Hermano Rodriguez (Mexico) Kyalami (South Africa) Zandvoort (Holland) Monza (Italy) No official word on the Nurburgring-Nordschleiffe yet... Brands Hatch and Silverstone (both UK) have also been mentioned but not confirmed. See my page at http://www.gp-legends.com and John's page at http://gpl.gamestats.com for all the latest news...

Tipical that someone named "Clermonts" doesn't understand the historical value of tracks like Clermont-Ferrand Bart

Clermont Ferrand was not used in the 1967 Championship. This honour went to what Jack Brabham called a "Mickey Mouse" circuit....the Le Mans Bugatti track. -- Bruce (at work) "Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired." (Jules Renard)
Alan.... By "Rouen", do you mean the actual 1967 circuit? If so, it was the Le Mans-Bugatti track. -- Bruce (at work) "Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired." (Jules Renard)

Nope, Papy are including Rouen instead of Le Mans-Bugatti, even though it was used in the '68 season and not '67. They've said that they want to capture the essence of late-60s F1 rather than to accurately simulate a particular season. In the case of Le Mans, this is undoubtedly a good thing!

Correct. This was a one-off race, i.e. F1 cars only raced here in '67. I'm open to correction, tho... :) Rob. On Mon, 02 Feb 1998 11:17:38 +1100, Bruce Kennewell

(snip) F1 cars only raced here in '67. I'm open to correction, tho... :) (unsnip) I'm pretty sure that you are correct, Rob. The circuit (Le Mans-Bugatti) was treated with disdain by the drivers....they hated it. I don't think it was used again for a Championship race. -- Bruce (at work) "Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired." (Jules Renard)
