From the inception of the first Grand Prix title in 1992, the Grand Prix series has garnered unparalleled critical acclaim, with PC Gamer hailing Grand Prix 3 as a "masterpiece". Inherent throughout the entire series is the staggering attention to detail, phenomenal car physics, and utterly realistic artificial intelligence. The Xbox and PC titles will of course carry the official 2001 FIA Formula One World Championship licence, featuring all the official drivers, teams and tracks from the 2001 season.

Now working in conjunction with Infogrames' Chippenham internal development studio, acknowledged gaming guru Geoff Crammond together with his own development company Simergy has taken the Grand Prix brand to a new level.

"We believe Grand Prix 4 raises and re-defines our own benchmarks in terms of realism and playability", commented Crammond. "Our aim is not simply to produce a great game about racing, but to deliver a complete F1 driving experience which is as close to having a real F1 drive as possible.''

Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4 for PC and Xbox boasts an all new graphics engine, new 2001 season car physics, plus ultra-realistic track layouts based on actual GPS data, which produce even greater player involvement and immersion than ever before. A whole host of other new additions are promised, including multi-player options, improved audio and a motion-captured pit crew, all combining to offer the player the most intense F1 racing experience available.

Cyril Voiron, Infogrames' Marketing Manager for Sport & Racing titles announced, "To PC gamers, Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix games represent the epitome of F1 video-gaming. By bringing Grand Prix to Xbox as well as PC, we are offering console gamers the first ever opportunity to get their hands on the next evolution of a legend."
