According to Ultimate PC mag december issue Papys are working on a
sequel it will be in the 76 season with James Hunt, Niki Lauda etc. Cant
wait if its as good as the original.

I wonder if there will be 9,000 more posts on GPL2 like there has been on GPL?
[Check www.dejanews.com for the numbers if you don't believe me. LOL ]
I wondered how long it would be before GPL2 would come up. GPL has only
been out a few weeks, no-one could have mastered it yet, no real fan of it
could have grown tired of it, so why are some people already looking forward
to number 2 ?
I can't see why 1976 would be better than 1967.

Will this be a sequel sequel or a track pack of sorts?

Good choice of season. I'll look forward to this one even more than the
original.

It depends on the era of formula 1 you are interested in. I prefer wings
and slicks to the heavy Lotuses and BRMs, so this sequel would suit me
more.

How do they expect to sell two historic sims? This seems a little
esoteric for lucre.
IMHO they should do '86 or somewhere around that era. Turbos, Mansell,
Senna, Prost, Piquet. *That* would make sense and probably some money
too.
YAAAAAHHHOOOOOO !!!!!

A 1300hp BMW in an 85 Brabham I would definitely be interested in.
Notice on the GPL CD, a directory "cars 67". Why should year be significant
if there was not to be more.
Assuming I can eventually manage more than one lap with this era (and on
black stuff), I'd like to give the GPLn ground effect era a try as well.

Of course, I can say that GPL was somehow made in mind that an upcoming
"Expansion pack" could be made if it was a hit. It was the same for IndyCar
Racing 2, but they somehow switched their focus to stock-cars. It could
easily be the same, back on focusing to stock-cars.
I would pay anything for 1979. With a special AI for Gilles Villeneuve
;-D
Great drivers from that era... Alan Jones, Jody Scheckter, Clay Regazzoni,
J-P Jabouille, Ren Arnoux, Andretti, Lauda, Piquet, Patrese, Fittipaldi,
Ickx etc...
Great tracks also. Buenos Aires was great I say. Interlagos is great as
always (it was double-lenght of the actual one). Kyalami is good, and we
would have Long Beach !!!! Jarama is one of those boring circuits on a map
but it's actually quite fun. Zolder is a great track, as Monaco. Dijon was a
great circuit from what I read, and Silverstone is always a great track (it
was about the same as in 67 but with a chicane on the last corner).
Hockenheim would be just incredible with no chicane at the far part of the
circuit and a little kink on the third chicane. The Osterreichring is one of
those cool tracks (the AI Ring but at that time 100times faster and cooler
;-D ). Let's not forget Monza and Zandvoort also ! (in their heavily
modified concept but who cares hehe). Finally there's the ULTIMATE cool
circuit that I went just too many times (the Notre-Dame Island circuit now
known as the Gilles Villeneuve circuit) and Watkins Glen. The last one was
pretty fun. The first 2/3 of it is the same as in GPL, but the last part is
actually made from the "old loop" you have in the actual circuit".
That would be my ultimate year ;-)

I no its a bit permature and i know im no good at GPL yet but 1976
would be cool, and has anybody realised yest that it would give you
the 6 wheel tyrell to drive ????

76 would make perfect sense for an F1 sim. It had an epic title battle
(Lauda/Hunt), it had great tracks (Nurburgring, Osstereichring etc.), it
had exciting, attractive cars (inc. JPS Lotus, 6-wheel Tyrrell, 2
different Ferraris), it had big name drivers (Andretti, etc) and was a
time when GP racing was big in the US (which had two GPs, an East and
West).
I think two more obvious choices for GP Legends type games would be 1990
and 1994 (though of course GP2 simulated 94).

Easier to DRIVE, maybe. :)
