Ive got to say... MGPRS2 is simply great... Wonderful graphics... great feel for the car and as for the retro racing Damm is it hard! Shame Ubisoft didnt have an official licence so you have to do a lot of editing to make things appear as they should (Team names/Drivers/Artwork etc) but at least they provide an editor for just that. Weather effects are superb and so are the replay camera angles for a change. Ive only just scratched the surface so no big technical review here.. Just wanted to say its a huge improvement on RS1 and well done Ubisoft! Zen.. Oh.. you change change screen res now..... :))

>Weather effects are superb and so are the replay camera angles for a >change. How about the rain races? Can you actually drive the car in this version? F1RS was like driving on ice. *** Tim Wortman *** NASS '98 Series Director *** NASS '98 Homepage *** www.nasscar.com/n2.html Unsubscribe from any NASS98 list at www.nasscar.com/maillist.html

Good question... Ive only done one short race at the realistic level in the rain. It certain was hard work but the level of control seems to be a lot better than in F1RS.... (That may be subjective though) Overall the program seems a lot more polished that its predecessor... The first thing I noted was that the slight buggy menu system now works perfectly reading the mouse input much easier than before. Also.. the controls whether it is via wheel or joystick seems to react a lot faster and smoother.. which makes driving the cars musch easier... Also... the background graphics are not quite as 'cartoon like' as F1RS..... Having tried the new graphic pathces to update the cars to 98 designs the whole things looks much better than I hoped and certainly points the way to it becoming the No1 F1 sim... Zen..
