And if you click on the Screens section, and click on the map of Monza
titled "Every circuit is reproduced in exquisite detail", you'll see not
just the oval on the map, but "Partly Cloudy", "Heavy Rain", and "Sunny"
listed for the session track conditions...
Given that we were told months ago that there would be no weather in
GPL, it's a little surprising to see it on this webpage...

Sorry, but weather WILL NOT be implemented in GPL for the reasons stated
previously.
Poor choice of pics for Sierra to put on their page (this new section has
been up for at least two weeks, btw). It IS confusing to people who are new
to the GPL scene (I've been following it for two years, at least).. it would
definitely appear that weather might be in... but unfortunately it is NOT
the case..
Sorry to break the news (once more).

The date on all of the screenshots is August 9, 1998. Do you work for
Sierra? You sound pretty sure of yourself.

Trust him, the screen shots are older then the demo! And the demo was a
very early beta

the features to what they are today. Maybe we can look forward to these
enhancements in a future release.

Devon, that is the date on which they were published to their web site,
most likely.
Mike lescault explained some time ago that changeable weather effects
would not be incorporated unless they could be represented properly. By
"properly" he implied in a manner befitting the accuracy and realism of
the rest of the simulation: he was not belittling the weather effects in
other simulations.

Far be it from me to suggest that Sierra got it wrong but I know for a fact
that the webmaster is more interested in webpages than games so it's likely
that he made a ***oo.
