Spirits of Speed ?

This looks like a competitor to GPL's crown, anyone got some more info on this ? The screenshots look great , check 'em out at : http://grandprix3.com/screenshots.html Cya, Remco

Remco_R; Have to admit the graphics look great. Almost like they took Gpl & transposed it to Spirit of Speed. I wonder if it will run as well as Gpl and I wish they or somone would do the same for a 1990s version of F1 or Cart.. Thom_j.

How many times I've read that line ("the screenshots look great") over the past 6 years, only to be totally disappointed by either the end result or the non-appearance what-so-ever of the product! I'll reserve judgement until it actually hits the shelves. -- Best regards, Bruce. ====== The Stunned Mullet........seriously satirical stuff! http://welcome.to/the_stunned_mullet =============================================== >This looks like a competitor to GPL's crown, anyone got some more info >on this ? >The screenshots look great , check 'em out at : >http://grandprix3.com/screenshots.html >Cya, > Remco

Are there any webpage dedicated to this game, or at least some information about it? Those screenshots doesn't give me any clue except it looks like a racinggame from the thirties. What tracks are there going to be in the game and so on. It would be really nice to race Avus and a banked Monza track (did they race on that in that era ?) OT: How come that all those old abandoned tracks looks a bit unreal and mystic ? I remember beeing in Berlin with my family in 89 and my father showed me a huge banked corner between two lanes of autobahn and told me that it used to be a racetrack. I still think of that as a bit out of this world.

I think Avus is definitely in, as is Brooklands and old Donington Park. That was the banked section of Avus! You get the same effect if you visit the old banking of Brooklands. - Michael

Olav, Avus was used for the first time in 1926, for the inaugural German GP, then through the 1930s for the annual AvusRennen (Avus Races). The circuit was actually constructed by Russian POWs during the First World War. It consisted primarily of two parallel adjacent straights connected by curves at each end, one of which became banked in 1937. When racing resumed there after WW2 the straights had been cut in half, due to the track now running into Soviet territory. Avus was a dangerous, boring and unchallenging circuit, detested particularly by Stirling Moss. The banking was demolished in 1968 but the circuit continued until last year as a venue for touring cars. Monza has been used as the site of the Italian GP since 1922 and was certainly used throughout the 1930s. Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Bruce. ====== The Stunned Mullet........seriously satirical stuff! http://welcome.to/the_stunned_mullet =============================================== >Are there any webpage dedicated to this game, or at least some information >about it?
