The AI sucks too.
Enjoy!
The other stuff is for preventing spammage. Thanks!
I think he was talking about the PC version...I think Psygnosis will
have a ligitimate contender for the F1-sim crown...and I'm not talking
PSX either!! ;)

Geez...You guys are still talking about the PSX version, while
the PC one hasn't been released yet. ~:-|

What F1 track does GP2 come even close to simulating accurately?
Saying F1 is "just an arcade game" is a pretty extremist statement.
That would be like me saying that GP2 has so many bugs its unplayable.
Neither statement is completely true. The driving model in F1 is
darned good, and the fact that the elevation changes and banking of
the real tracks are there is excellent, as are the look and driving
feel of F1's high speed curves. Try driving Spa in both of them and
tell me you think GP2 nailed it anywhere close to accurately -- not.
Which is funny because Psygnosis says the recording came from a DAT
recorder strapped to an F1 drivers' body? I guess digital just isn't
good enough for you.
In other words, if you can't make your point effectively, act
condescending with the person you disagree with. I've spent way more
hours with GP2 than I care to admit, as well as ICR2, ICR2-3D, NASCAR
1 and NASCAR 2. There are those on the group who recognize me from
various Internet and Hawaii racing leagues, so please spare me your
condescension. GP2's biggest flaw, in my book, is the tracks. Where
F1 spent the time and money painstakingly creating the tracks from the
official surveyors' guides and video footage, I have NO idea what
Crammond uses. I've talked to Bizarre Creations about this and they
were puzzled as well. I'd have to say that for modelling an F1 car,
GP2 is by far superior to F1. No arguments. But in terms of
modelling F1 tracks and F1 races, GP2 can't hold a candle to F1. Its
really just that simple...neither one is ideal, but I tend to enjoy
the racing more in F1 than GP2. A pity Crammond and Psygnosis
couldn't get together and do a 3D-accelerated GP2 using Psygnosis'
excellent tracks!

Uh, oh...
I noticed that too...FWIW, GP2 can be refered to as a "sim", but to
actually label it a "simulator" is going a bit far...Need an example?
How about hitting a wall at around 30Kph - little (if any) damage.
Sure, there are damage editors out there, but anything like a 3rd-
party utility is simply a hack. (Hmmm...getting warm in here...)
Also, there isn't any force-feedback (the change in my pockets stays
there when I get airborne<g>), and I can't remember hearing anything
other than my own engine when playing the game...er..."sim". Plenty
of other things I could mention, but the point is, it's still a game.
(pzzzzzzzzzzzztttt!!! >>sound of zipper on fire-retardent suit<<)
F1 (PSX) wasn't meant to be anything else. I also have it, and I have
a good time playing it...It has its place, but when it comes down to the
serious stuff...
Oh, I dunno about that...Spend much time in a real F1 lately? Keep
in mind that I'm not (intentionally) trying to flame, but after several
years aboard a Ducatti in AMA, evrything else starts to sound like
buzzing bees. Ever wonder why some drivers wear ear-plugs? I
wear them so I don't have to listen to an inline-4.<g>
If you want a "real" driving experience, then go to Skip Barber, or
another driving school - Learn the ropes, then go racing!! :)
I'm not going to disagree that GP2 is a great "sim", but I do understand
its (and my) limits. No matter what "turns your crank" - whether it's
F1 (PSX), GP2, Wipe-Out, or Pac Man - If it feels good, then play it. :)
See ya' on the track... ;)

Hmmmmmm....so what would you rather have Randy? A more acurate track
or a more acurate car?
Personally I'll gladly put up with a few Inaccuracies in the track
for the trill that is involved when driving GP2 with my wheel and
pedal set-up.
GP2 - great Sim!!
F1 - great(?) Game

Just about all of them I think. And this was one of the things I liked
about GP2.
You can watch the F1 races on ESPN2 & know exactly where the cars are.
Also, Jaques V. learned many of the track layouts with GP2. ect...
IMHO you are wrong here :-)
OK...were comparing apples and oranges here...Let's all wait for
the PC version. :)
