I love it. Apart from a missing carrer-mode, (and the not-so well
balanced autobrakes in rookie-mode as I have written elsewhere)it is
absolutely georgeous.
I think the graphics are quite good, and especially I am surprising to
see that my not all to great machinery can run it quite easily in
800*600. I even think 1024*700 is a possibility, but I havent tried.
And, as a prove of the great graphics, try taking a replay, and push
the left arrow button. I think that is one hell of a great graphic
performance.
But most importantly, the car is as fabelous to control as GP2.

Anders H. J?rgensen,
der snart flytter til ?rhus.

I wanted a new sim for July so I ordered Viper Racing :-D

Jason.

And BTW, I probably will love GP3 considering it's a lot like GP2.  :)

I'm finding it rather ***ive. The graphics are OK. Not the best
(that would be SBK) but decent, and a good sense of speed.

I like the physics. I'm in control but it feels "dynamic" - if I make
a mistake I can usually recover, but I pay in lost time.

The weather effects are great.

The user interface is horrendous, as is the controller setup. An
embarrasment frankly. But I can live with that, as long as the patch
the worst of the controller deficiencies.

The track editor is incredible news - there will soon be a ton of
tracks available. That will add huge replay value to the game.

pros:
- physics (although its NOT gpl ;-)
- handling (you can catch spins and slide!)
- weather
- nice sounds
cons:
- you only hear your own sounds
- the ai is very stupid and aggressive
- useless default setups (when will GC learn it???)
- coarse grained graphics: even at 1280x1024, I can't see the apex of
most turns early enough, whereas I can with F1RS/RS2/F12000 ...

overall: on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it a 8 ...

Am I the only one in F1-2000 that has problems with the white line on
either side of the track? On my machine, the outline of the track seems
to point towards the centre of the track around 100 meters infront of me
and is blended into the track. Makes it real hard to tell what the track
is doing a few hundred meters infront of you. After 50 or so laps I
learned the track and all was fine from there, but in GP3, I can see
where the track is going and as a consequence, the same (or similar
tracks) in GP3 are much easier to get my line correct.

Cheers,
Rod.
