You forgot the best of them all-- Indy 500 The Simulation.

F1RC doesn't have official online play, you have to edit an ini file.

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

   Define ONLINE PLAY...3 or 4 drivers?  Head to Head?  At least an even
dozen....if F1RC can run 11 other drivers with me..then I will say it's got
online play...but 4 or 5 others just doesn't cut it anymore.

You get the static when the car is upside down, so it's not a real
good indication of the driver being dead or not.
Granted, with this ridiculous low rollbars you -would- be dead if the
car was upside down :)

I hope they don't do modern F1 - the cars have just become "steer and
brake" with the re-introduction of driver aids such as traction control.
And the tracks are tedious.

It would just be so boring.

Now late 70's, early 80's F1 - that would be cool:-)

Hmmm... I believe that you just experienced what is know as a Freudian slip
;)

The only good thing about the current development in F1 is that within a few
years, WE the Simracers will be able to drive a F1 better than a
racecardriver ! We know how to handle low framerates and software bugs...
the car ?? oh well it drives itself anyway ;)

Fish boy, you are such a ****, I really think you should go ****  your
own ****** with a large *** ****. With any luck you might enjoy doing
that as much as you do playing second rate 'sims'.

:), that's better.
