Haven't heard any more about the release date than you.  Did hear a
reasonable amount of bitching about the driving model being less
realistic than Indianapolis 500.

Two other racing sims are due for near release.  "Road and Track
Presents: Grand Prix Unlimited"  (my pick for the ungainly title
award).  Looks like it now will feature 16 GP tracks and a course
designer.  I think earlier previews had said it would only have a
couple of GP courses.  See the ad in the most recent CGW.  Also
"Car and Driver" is supposed to be GP based, I believe.  They will
*probably* beat F! GP (which will be called World Circuit) to the
stores.
