Grand Prix 2.  <g>  You might still find a copy of this game.  It's loads of
fun and very realistic.

I've got GP2, MGPRS, MGPRS2 and Official formula1....

forget MGPRS and MGPRS2.... the car handling is verry unrealistic, the
tracks are verry far away from the reality , the sound is verry stupid....

GP2 is a verry good simulation, but don't have a 3dfx or direct 3d
support...

Official formula 1 has better graphics than GP2 and better handling, sounds
and tracks than MGPRS1&2....

What in the hell?  OF1R has the  w o r s t  car handling of any game I've ever
played!  F1 World Grand Prix on the Nintendo 64 is more realistic yet it's
designed AS AN ARCADE GAME.  Screw OF1R, MGPRS.  Get Grand Prix 2!

GPL, or if you really want glued-to-the-track corner-on-rails modern
cars, Grand Prix 3 :-)

LOL... this little arcade gem has neither of the advantages you
mentioned here. Graphics are horrible and in fact at least 2 years out
dated already, tracks layout is completely wrong (no, not just a few
missing elevation changes here and there like MGPRS2) and the
handling... well, it's 'okay' for it's purpose as arcade racer but
even in that genre you'll find plenty of more challenging
alternatives.

As we've discussed before Tel, MGPRS2 is the best, BUT OF1R has SOME good
points as obviously other people agree.

GPL is  by far the best simulator that exists. No equivalent modern F1 sim
exists  yet, if papy would just do a '76; a '82 sim; or whatever  year with
the same physics engine,, it would be awsome to drive turbo powered lotuses
or Mclarens.
Fellow GPLers!!! Tell him its the best!!

You've driven the tracks have you? They are actually the most accurate
of the current sims.

Obviously you love arcade games with no realism whatsoever.
OF1R has NO handling, and the graphics look washed out and cartoonish.
In fact, they look very similar to Power F1 but with 3D acceleration
added. No realism, no physics model, nothing new whatsoever, and ***
to play for SIMULATION RACERS.
