The initiation process in GP3 is not so extreme, and thankfully doesn't take years - this is no Grand Prix Legends. In 1997 Gerhard would retire, a legend in his own right, with a career total of 10 victories. As everybody says, it takes time to learn it, several years.'

Christopher Hilton wrote in his acclaimed biography of the Austrian that during the race, 'Berger treasured the straights to gather himself, Lauda, travelling a great deal faster, had the experience to be able to execute bluffs and double bluffs with a flawed car.

All the hallmarks of his handiwork are here, from the bulky and detailed cockpit styling to the wonderful car handling which any would-be driver can take confidence in. Geoff Crammond is the guy who practically kickstarted the motorsport sim industry, and knows exactly what it takes to produce a great game. Its sheer class lies in the quality of the racing that it offers. But at the end of the day, it's still the most satisfying F1 simulation to come out since its predecessor. Maybe Hasbro should have gone for the more befitting title of Grand Prix 2.5 - after all, this game features teams and cars that are 2 years old and is built on top of the architecture of a DOS game that is out of date by double that.
