GP3 - 3D API?

Has anyone seen any mention of what 3D API's GP3 is going to support? I'd assume D3D, but I'd be curious if OpenGL or Glide made it in as well. TIA, Kendt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

If they started with D3D, it's unlikely anything else is forthcoming, as that's the most widely compatible. I was curious since if they supported Glide, then they probably started coding to Glide originally (unlikely, I know), which generally means Glide's the best way to run the game. Just looking for more info supporting my next video card purchase. Right now I'm leaning towards a CPU upgrade to a 700@933Mhz first. I'm trying to decide just how badly I want Voodoo5 FSAA - A GeForce2 with a Voodoo3 PCI is starting to look like a tempting setup, especially with N4 on the way.

Direct3D will be the supported hardware at the beginning, as Geoff Crammond seems to be someone who cares about large-scale compatibility. There's always a chance that they will patch in a Glide or OpenGL version later on (Papyrus have added two rasterisers since the release of Grand Prix Legends), but I wouldn't count on it. -- Inspiron

Why care with other API's ???????

Actually, i've been following GP3 developements for quite a long time now, and still no one has (as far as I know) officially answered the question of what API will be supported/used, but we all know nevertheless than it will be D3D.
