GPL doesn't need a high end PC to run nicely.
Also I consider GPL as quite troubleless (installation) compared to other sims.
Go ahead, get something like XP 1600, GF3, cheapo Soundcard, a good wheel and
there you go.

Have fun :-)

Can I join your company? <g>

GPL is still top notch (stating it's the best could start a flame-war)

GPL2 we should not count on.

Anyhow, with all those bells and whistles available nowadays GPL doesn't look
too old to me :-)

gpl is a bit behind in seeing your competetors though, nascar 2002 has a lot
of improvements which could be put in gpl+ or gpl2.

Good idea, even if TOFU'ed. Make GPL GPL! Now there's a slogan!
I guess we would also see a linux port in no time, given that
most papy sims support opengl. Oh, the possibilities...

I wonder if it could be possible for some clever GPL-hacker to implement some
sort of radar view patch. If I had only known that there were those two
Coopers behind that Honda which was overtaking me at Lesmo on lap 1 at
the last online race...
