That brought up a BIG point.... When Speedvision Ran Grand Prix, with lots of Pre-Airing promotion, WHY, WHY, WHY didn't Sierra plunk down some $$ to advertise Grand Prix Legends. They already had a strong word of Mouth that would guarentee sales to the "diehard" sim fans. But by advertising during Grand Prix, they would have reached casual gamers, race fans, and historical nuts.....Boy I think they blew a big opportunity. dave henrie Just wondering if anyone had noticed that the driver on the North American box cover of GPL has the same helmet design as the James Garner character in the great movie "Grand Prix?" Garner (Pete Aron) is stated as driving for Ferrari during his career as well in the movie. Co-incidence?? Or just a sly homage to a great movie by Papyrus? Scott
