I sure can - here is a run down of all F1GP versions I currently know,
taken from the .doc from F1GP-Ed V2.21:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
F1GP Versions
=============
   I currently know of 3 different versions of F1GP.  Unfortunatly, they all
   have the same version number (1.02).  Here are the differences, sizes and
   locations of the "f1gp" binary file which is needed by F1GP-Ed:

   +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | (A) Formula One Grand Prix (4 disks)   -   Disk 2   -   582992 bytes  |
   |                                                         ======        |
   |      The original version which is hard-coded for PAL machines.  This |
   |      version has also been re-released on the Powerplus budget label. |
   +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | (B) World Circuit (4 disks)            -   Disk 2   -   582780 bytes  |
   |                                                         ======        |
   |      US version of F1GP which is hard-coded for NTSC machines.  All   |
   |      occurences of "Formula One Grand Prix" text are replaced by      |
   |      "World Circuit".  Also, there is no manual selection screen as   |
   |      the English manual is assumed.  Same as (A) otherwise.           |
   +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | (C) Formula One Grand Prix (3 disks)   -   Disk 1   -   582988 bytes  |
   |                                                         ======        |
   |      This version of F1GP was bundled with the A600 Wild, Weird &     |
   |      Wicked pack, and hence the intro was omitted to save on disks.   |
   |      There are some minor changes in this version, but the only one   |
   |      I have pin-pointed is the screen position.  In (A) & (B) you     |
   |      have to set up the overscan preferences to a certain position,   |
   |      otherwise the left-hand side of the game screen would be         |
   |      *chopped* off, with a black border on the LHS of the screen.     |
   |      This problem seems to have been corrected in this version.       |
   |      Apart from that it's essentially the same as (A).  God knows why |
   |      the 2 keypad keys used by F1GP weren't remapped to keys that are |
   |      available on the A600 - that's MicroProse for you!               |
   +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

   F1GP-Ed will work on all versions mentioned above.  It may fail on pirate
   versions, so go and buy the original now if you have not already done so.  
   Pirate versions will never be supported, intentionally.

   If you have a version of F1GP which is different to the above, please let
   me know so I can support it in F1GP-Ed.

ONe was the orriginal version that was quickly replace by the other.  I  
believe that there were no difference (at least that's what the  
salesperson said)

1. World Circuit F1GP

Well, I was just playing the above game and I was wondering if anyone
has ever blown an engine?  I've tried to but can't!  Also, it never
seems to rain.  Since I've had the game (when it came out) I've only
had to run in the rain once or twice.  I want rain!
  Whatever happend to the 'great' formula one game Accolade was
supposedly working on?  It was supposed to have a whole bunch of
neat stuff that I forget.

Later,
