Not without Jim's permission, his readme is pretty specific about that.

I cant believe you guys still play that game..(GPL) It sure would be nice
for F1 2002 with all of the mods that are available.

It's not a matter of belief, just accept it & move on ;-)

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but gpl has more tracks available for it than
any other racing sim atm. What you drive is nice, but where you drive & how
you drive are more important imo ;-)

There is a higher sense of satisfaction in GPL.  There is also an historical
importance, or acceptation that you clearly don't get in F1C.

It's an incredible effort... a shame that the entire course couldn't be
duplicated though.  If the only issue is with AI then I'd gladly give up AI
and hotlap it.

The only issue was not with AI.
Over 25km and other weird things start happening, so he says.

What's important to me (now that I understand the difference) is the tire
modeling.  I finally know what Dave Kaemmer meant when he said he couldn't
drive GPL any more (this was almost 2 years ago) because the tire model is
so primitive (read: numb).

I suspect that DK's concept of 'primitive' and most other people's are
rather different. He may be a racer too, but at the end of the day he has
the heart of an engineer, and he probably feels that, quite rightly, the
stuff he's built since gpl is better. His 'best' project will very probably
be his latest one, just like every other engineer.

gpl has plenty of flaws & faults, it could be better in alot of ways, but
right now if you want to run the IOM circuit, you're going to have to load
up gpl. There are worse things you could do, Steve, and believe me, it's
worth it.

If GPL tracks were considered works of art, this would be a Van Gogh!
What an incredible track.

"Acceptation"??  Where the heck did I put my ymenard-to-English dictionary?

Hehehe... I've never needed a dictionary to understand Francois, but then
again, my French is sufficient to grasp his meaning. And he has improved *a
lot* over the years.
