Thios is an idea made by people in the F1 200x community, and the company has 'borrowed' it for there advantage

Still a good idea though. And no doubt, when it comes, the community will improve it enormously. Mostly I wonder whether the important things wil be in order (physics and track accuracy). The worst they could do is make an arcade version for the mass markets. it sounds to complicated for the arcade markets though.

will schuey brake his leg in 1999 ?

I saw about it on gamespot. Looks quite good. BUT it was only confirmed for GC, PS2 and X-Box. Might we not get it?

I would of thought we would see it on the PC, but I could be wrong!

Ad yes,it seems that Schuey beaks his leg in 1999, because it mentions that Salo takes over on his behalf. Cool.
What no PC version? (

Hopefully there will be a PC version, it would be stupid not to. I for one love F1 2002! (and GP4, GPL etc etc...) :D

hope ots easy to drive on a keyboard like GP4
f1 2002 is just not for keyboard users :|

in the editin community they're makin it from 1994 - 2003

Yes, but Belini is aming a shorter one for GP4

I would really like to see it start from 90 and go on for 2003 :P

it will most likely be done later. start with shorter times and build them up as you progress

Did you read this?

amongst the elite drivers competing in the world's fastest and most glamorous motor sport

Obviously this NOT going to be a F1 game then?

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

well i have seen the game on the web
i can,t imagine my self driving the 99 BAR
then to the 2002 bar
its a silly idea

I like it as an idea. But we still need to see how this actually going to look like





AMD64 3400+ (running at 2,66ghz atm )DDR400 1gb(running at 433) Asus K8N-E Deluxe mobo, 6800ultra, Tagan tg-480w, Audigy 2Zs, Logitech Z-5500 speakers
Using X-aser Lanfire case with 5 fans inside cathodelights etc included aswell :P

If they do it as a 'Sim', it'll take them ages. Either that, or the tracks and cars etc aren't going to be very accurate. But they can take the data from the previous games (ie F1 2000, F1 2001, F1 2002) because it's all quite similar isn't it?

It sounds great, but will it be!!!

"It sounds great, but will it be!!!"

ea? nope it will most prob. b a flop



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds interesting... I may give it a look when it finally arrives! Any sceenshots?
