yeah, I know, but it's not Need for Speed we are talking about, it should
take you awhile to drive fast (even with dumbed down AI), you should loose
until you can drive a race without wiping out. That is the nature of
simulators.
Look at Monaco (no I'm not directly comparing it to GPL), but it does have
several AI settings, it does take awhile to get used to the physics model
(the canned spins), and win a race. Not very many people can buy a sim (any
sim), and win without some practice.

The best modern day F1 sim, IMHO, is RS2 (MGPR) by UbiSoft.
(and don't listen to that chicken running headless through the ng. ;^)
If you can stand a sim without 3D support (video or graphics) and no
FF support, GP2 is a classic.

There needs to be a "Bastard difficult handling" slider - that takes
away the ultra realism - and replaces with some down to earth
playability (in TOCA terms etc...not that I like TOCA< of coursE!!)

My point is that the average consumer can't be arsed to learn how to
drive a sim, before racing in it. By the time they've learnt how to do
it, it's in the bin.

I bought a second hand Amiga especially for GP1, I bought my first PC (p90)
especially for GP2, and to keep up the tradition I'll sell my slow (to
p200mmx upgraded) p90 and by me a state of the art PIII a short period
before the game is released.

There isn't a chance in hell that Papyrus or Sierra will sell the
physics engine from GPL. And I'm quite sure that there are many gifted
people out there trying to break it. But so far no one has done it. One
thing is for sure. If man made it,then someone can break it.

For instance, the grip of the tyres could be improved via a parameter
(but controlled in a multiplayer game!) which would make it much
easier for the newbie to learn.
