I was curious... the GT2 intro video that I downloaded from the web has all sorts of 1960s GP cars and drivers. One would think it was an advert for GPL. Why did Sony put all the old F1 iron in the video when it has nothing to do with the game? Stephen

Gee, you give people the chance to drive an 800HP minivan, and what do they do but complain, complain, complain about what's *not* there. 8-) Adrian.

Actually, I would prefer to see none of the old F1 stuff in the video. GT2 fills a niche very different than GPL (thank goodness) and so there is no need for the F1 footage in the video. I would love to see actual footage of some of the sports cars in the game, like the old Shelby Mustang, the assorted Loti etc., instead of the F1, but I guess it's flashier to have some "names" in the video.

A Japanese resident pointed us lowly r.a.sony.playstation dwellers to the following: Linkname: [LINK] The All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship League URL: http://gtc.infosim.co.jp/gtc_team/1999team/team_idx.htm A lot of GT2 is surprisingly closely based on this, even down to the names "GT300" and "GT500", not to mention the car names and liveries. Perhaps the Japanese consider this the logical evolutionary step *after* Formula 1. 8-) Oh, okay, perhaps not... Adrian.
