New GPL Screen Shots

6 posts by 6 people · 08 Feb 1998 - 09 Feb 1998

A couple of interesting things there.... The calendar shows both Brands Hatch and Silverstone. The Circuit layout for Monza shows the high-speed oval. With the first instance, the 1967 British GP was at Silverstone. With the second, the 3.0 litre cars never used the oval section of Monza. > Head over to The APEX - GPL HQ at http://gpl.gamestats.com and check out the > new screen shots+ACE- -- Bruce (at work) "How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?"

Maybe it's "Grand Prix legends: the simulation of the movie"... ;) I still want it! Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking... Did he complain to five or six postmasters last month? Now, you must ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do you, punk?

At the risk of awakening the bear once more, the sim depicts that time period rather than a specific year. AFAIK the banking will not be used within GPL, so the track map could be misleading. I believe the banking is still there even today though, isn't it the bridge that you see in GP2 and F1RS half-way down Serraglio? Cheers! John

The possibility of including tracks from other than the 67 season was hinted at some time ago - and Brands is a most excellent choice. As for Monza, well even GP2 shows part of the banked track on it's circuit layout screen ;-) Cheers, Richard

Yep, most of the banking is intact, although in a poor state of repair. Its fenced off, but it is possible to go out and walk on it. Its very steep at the top, something you don't really notice on the film. The bridge in GP2 (and 1 for that matter is the point where Yves Montand's character's car goes over the banking into the trees.
