I'm very much looking forward to this title, but it's going to have to have
better graphics, physics (GPL is irrelevant), and track modelling than F1RC
for it to be a better F1 sim.
Sounds like F1RC.
I also hope it doesn't share the same camera/fish-eye driver's view that
F12000/F12000CS had. If it does all these things, then great. I did like
F12000 very much when it was released, while most here trashed it. If it
doesn't, then I'll stay with F1RC until F1RC2 is released.
