Does anyone have a source for that 200,000 sales figure? I've left it in as it sounds about right, but I can't be sure. Loganberry 11:11, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Yes this come from http://www.gamespot.com/features/6103365/ Ericd 12:32, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Do we really need so many pictures? I tend to think they're intrusive where they are, and that one nice screenshot (maybe of the grid at Spa or something like that) in the normal position on the page (ie the right-hand side) would be much nicer to look at. We can't cover every aspect of GPL here - otherwise we'd have hundreds of pictures of all the add-on circuits! Loganberry 15:23, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I agree. Maybe a line-up of cars with a "left-to-right" caption and a screenshot of a grid would be good. 66.84.233.146 16:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

About my reversion in the Drivers section: Jacky Ickx definitely drove an F2 Matra at the Nürburgring (finished fourth) and an F1 Cooper-Maserati at Monza (finished sixth). Hence, my original wording was correct. See the Jacky Ickx article for more details. Loganberry 22:36, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos from the originator

I was the lowly scribe who wrote the original GPL article many moons ago. I took a look at it recently and I must say I'm really impressed with all the great additions. My congrats to all the contributers. The article brings back exciting memories of drifting the Eagle through the bends with a bunch of lead-hungry drivers all around me.

[edit] Driving on ice

IMO the feeling of "Driving on ice" has nothing to do with the tire model. It's mostly related to the absence physical feedback in simulation. Ericd 14:08, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Weak aerodynamic model

To Matthead : Please explain why is the aerodynamic model weak ? Ericd 16:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Riverside?

The text seems to say that Riverside was included in the game in place of Watkins Glen. unless this refers to a later version of the game than my copy, this isn't true- the game (and, indeed, the original demo) included Watkins Glen and not Riverside. Riverside didn't appear in a Papyrus game until NASCAR Legends came out in 1999. this track was subsequently possible to convert using David Noonan's converter. The references to Riverside should be deleted.RFT 08:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summer 2006 ?

Really nice article. Just one thing though, here in the southern hemisphere summer occurs twice every year (January + February and then again in December), so perhaps it would be better to say in which quarter of 2006 that the mixed wing for the 1969 F1 Mod is expected.
