		While Grand Prix Legends provided the most realistic (and hence, difficult) simulation of automotive physics in a PC game at its launch, the reputation of "difficult to drive" was exacerbated by a number of decisions made both for the demo and the launch of version 1.0.
		Grand Prix cars from 1967 typically ran 5 to 6 inches of ground clearance, unlike the later ground effect cars that were designed to have the chassis as close to the ground as possible.
		There is a demo that has now been succeeded by the newer Grand Prix Legends 2004 Demo which has all the required patches included plus upgrades to the cars and track that are included within the original one.

		In 1966 he raced a Formula 2 Matra in the German Grand Prix and he did the same the following year but his desire to be a Grand Prix driver, despite being 40, led him to accept an invitation to drive the untested air-cooled Honda RA302 in the 1968 French Grand Prix at Rouen.
		Built of magnesium - to reduce weight - the car was tested by John Surtees who felt that it was not ready to race but Honda wanted to push ahead and so the car was given to Schlesser.

	Sandcastle V.I. - Auto Racing Classics - Dan Gurney: All American Racer / Part 3
		Fittingly, the new team's cars would be called "Eagles." The Grand Prix Eagle had many teething problems, including late delivery of the custom-built Gurney-Weslake V-12 engine.
		Although on an overall basis the Eagle Grand Prix program was not successful, Dan Gurney can justifiably be proud of what he was able to accomplish against the heavily financed factory teams in Europe.
		His victory in the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix still stands as a remarkable achievement considering the small size and limited resources of the All American Racers team at the the time.

	Cars - Ligier
		Despite substantial sponsorship from public French companies - mainly SEITA and Française des Jeux (deals which François Mitterrand helped to put in place) - the competitiveness of the team began to decline around 1982; but the team survived until 1996.
		While the victory was a famous moment for French Motorsport (the first "all-french" victory at Monaco since Rene Dreyfuss in Bugatti in 1930), it must be said it came very much against the run of play in a race in which only four cars finished the full distance.
		The Ligier motorcars were all designated with the prefix "JS" in honour of Ligier's great friend and cohort, Jo Schlesser, who was killed in the 1968 French Grand Prix while driving for Honda.
