Are WOW! When I started my page last year, I thought the game would be good, but not this good. Reminds of the first time I played Grand Prix/World Circuit on the Amiga. The menus are beautiful, It runs great 800x600 on my lowly P166MMX (O/c to 188, 32mb Ram, Righteous) The Nurburgring is listed on the track records screen! I've crashed more times than I care to mention, but I don't care. The arms work well. Its going to be a long night! Thanks David Kaemmer! (and Mike L and the rest of the Papy boys too - you can be rightly proud...

I'll have to second that opinion. I only "jumped in" for a bit (My wheel is not connected) but what I saw was great. It took me about half a lap to end up on my head sliding down the course...and yes sparks were flying off my head rest. Now that was cool. Personally, I think the arms are a nice touch. I also found out that you can get stuck on top of scenery...I ended up perched on a hail bail. I also found myself just staring at the suspension as it responded to gear changes, bumps, etc. The power slides are a blast. I was pretty ho hum abou the game. I'm more of a Nascar/Indycar type of race fan but this goes beyond what kind of racing you enjoy watching. Oh and I am now psyched about Nascar 3...if they use this engine for it...wow. Teetch

I remember that very well, especially as I still play F1GP on my Amiga... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Infamous Captain Potato Die Toten Hosen Fan Club of Australia http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/5871/
