Going back from mid December to mid June, there have been 16 releases
but two of those are special "Night mod" track remakes of originals.
So 14 new tracks in 6 months. There have been a total of about 32 new
releases in the past year.
The only bad thing I have to say about the modern Sims is that rFactor
has a terribly confusing amount of track versions and car mods.
Trying to join a pick up race can be confusing when you think you have
what is displayed.
But GPL is still very much alive with 5+ car mods being worked on
(most are a looong way off) and the 66 cars promised to be released in
a week or so.
Let it die dammit!
A 10 year old game should only ever be played for nostalgia reasons
alone!
If you are still playing a 10 year old game regularly then you are
living in the past!!
I'd agree with you for many games/Sims, but GPL has grown with the
times. The soon to come out 1966 mod will stand up to anything
modern, except for graphic features like shadows etc which aren't
really essential to the driving experience.
While it is a nostalgic exercise in that the modern top level cars
aren't anything like these, the driving is still loads of fun, just
like in Formula Ford etc (although I don't race and am just going by
what I read).

No, hang on - I'll bet he's as sharp now as he was when he was driving
the real deal.
Anyway, your words are clearly from a twit who was not around pre GPL
nor when it was released. No sim is ever going to compete with that
experience and impact. If you like getting nicked up all the time keep
rubbishing GPL and you'll be just that! :) Maybe you're working your way to
a trip to the pyramids with a megaphone shouting out - "Allah takes it up
the arse....Allah takes it up the arse...................." ????
