GP2 Release date

What's all this bull about GP2 being released for Silverstone. I just got off the phone from talking to 'GAME' a computer games retailer. And they told me it was to be released on the 19th July, a whole week after the British Grand Prix. I wouldn't take this as confirmation of the true release date, but I would definatly assume from this, that the release of GP2 is not going to coinside with the British Grand Prix....... Unless of course the FIA have cought the bug from MICROPROSE and are delaying the British Grand Prix for a week...... t' ra for now Mat...

GP2 will be LAUNCHED at the British Grand Prix, as for whether it's going to be on sale there or when it will hit the shops, we're back to the usual guesswork involved in anything to do with MPS marketing. We'll see in a couple of days won't we....!! Cheers!

2 UK games retailers - Special Reseve & Electronic Boutique - have said on Monday this week that the release date is Wed 17th! The latter says they've received posters ready for the day. Perhaps releasing at British GP is merely the last advance demo of final product - maybe to give Schumaker a chance of making it as far as the finish of the warm up lap. I was going to say the green, but that's another minor item that'll be out of date in GP2? Steve --
