I'm guessing its just a arcade game, but it does
say it has "realistic physics" and is a "simulation".

I just gave it a try - I chose 'Dutch Track' which is an extremely
poor done version of Zandvoort - the layout hardly is like the real
one, and no, the real Zandvoort is NOT shattered with windmills!

I won my first race on my first try, with the AI on the hardest level.
About 2 minutes margin on number 2. On a 6 laps race :-/

Then I turned on the force feedback.. The game started and I didn't
know how fast I should press the escape key since my Momo started to
make REALLY scary sounds!

Ofcourse, the physics are laughable.

Utter crap. Shame of my $1 cd.

I agree 100%.  Kind of appalling that Sir Frank would lend his name to
this kind of ***(if he ever saw it at all).  You know, though, done
right, this would be an excellent concept for a game, especially if it
contained a management feature.
