Well,

Be a fool and buy it!

I tried it, and it suck realtime!
Its unbelievable they got FOCA licence for such crap... but then again, FOCA
themselves are only in it for the money.

Well I tried the demo and I found the game to have a very nice driving
model.
I also like the "Sim" like grafix. It also runs very smooth and seems to
have good AI.
This game reminds me of ICR2 3D.

I will play with the demo more and see.
Hey..it is only 25 bucks here!

Gotta say..I hate the FOCA though, we need another CART sim :)

You are definitely in the minority group on these counts! :)
Everyone I have talked to says its nothing compared to F1RS or MGPRS.
And after trying the pathetic demo, I agree with them. There is no
physics model, and it's far from being a sim. It feels like an arcade
racer, and it is.

I am a huge fan of ICR2 and saying that F1OR reminds you of ICR2 is a great
insult to ICR2. ICR2 looks better (the Rendition version) and plays 100x times
better and more realistically. ICR2 still has a brilliant car dynamics model
(a little bit simple by GPL standards) while F1OR has a shocking car dynamics
model ... that is if you're after anything remotely realistic. I'd go as far
as to say that in some ways Eidos F1'97 has a better driving model.

I was very disapointed by this title ... as far as F1 games go, this doesn't
come anywhere close to F1-RS in any respect.

David Mocnay
