It's a very nice film Arturo. Are some of the chassis still awaiting completion? I don't recall seeing them all in the film.

Hi
The cars to be included in the 1965 mod are: Brabham BT7 & BT11, Honda RA272, Cooper T77, Ferrari 1512, Lotus 33 and BRM P261. The graphics of the last 3 cars I mentioned are finished, the Honda is coming next and the work on the other ones (Brabhams and Cooper) has also started.
The physics of the 7 cars are almost finished, though we are still making some minor updates once in a while when we can find more historically accurate data about some points of the cars.
The cars NOT included in the film are the Honda RA272, both Brabhams and the Cooper T77.

Yay, another carset to add to my collection!

I've got the 68 set, and the F3 and F2 sets too. Can't wait for this to be released...

The 1965 carset is much more than a graphic addon as are the 1968, the F2 and the F3. The chassis, the engines, the tyre models, the graphics, the sounds, the GPL menus and even the way you connect to race GPL online will be completely improved

All for free ... it seems like a great deal

No doubt about it Arturo - that's the kind of deal we like......

So basically a whole new game completely for free!

We will be able to race at all the GPL tracks available nowadays but the 7 cars will be completely new (graphics, physics and sounds). There are going to be other improvements over the present state of online racing, GPLRank and other matters too. The way we connect to race online will be also greatly improved. Maybe you are right about the whole new game definition, but it will be fully compatible with the GPL we know today
