The Grand Prix Legends FAQ
Welcome to the Grand Prix Legends FAQ. This text is intended to provide
answers to the most commonly-asked questions I receive from readers. The FAQ
should be your starting point to find out details about the game, or the
GP-Legends website at [link lost in import]
more information becomes available.
1. When is the game due to be released?
The latest information from Papyrus mentions July 1998, but as we all know
release dates tend to be unreliable...
2. What tracks will be in the game?
The following tracks are confirmed to be in the game:
Kyalami
Mexico City
Monza
Mosport
Nurburgring-Nordschleiffe
Rouen
Spa-Francorchamps
Watkins Glen
Zandvoort
The following tracks have been mentioned in previews, but aren't officially
confirmed at the moment
Brands Hatch
Silverstone
Papyrus have stated that licensing negotiations are still ongoing for
certain tracks and drivers, so watch this space!
3. What drivers will be featured?

Jack Brabham

Recent news suggests that you will be able to edit driver AI properties. In
the demo these properties are stored in a text file and include aggression,
alertness, experience, hype, qualifying, quickness, and smoothness. The
driver abilities would seem to be relative rather than absolute.
4. What will the minimum hardware requirements be?
The latest information from Papyrus suggests that minimum requirements will
be a Pentium 133. 3dfx, Rendition, and Direct-3d compatible 3d accelerators
will be supported, but not required. There will not be a simultaneous
release for Macintosh. No word on RAM requirements, but I would guess 32mb
as a minimum.
The demo requires 32mb or RAM, and in order to be playable a 3dfx or
Rendition compatible 3d accelerator is recommended
