Well, a lot of people think it does. I suggest investigating Monaco Grand
Prix Racing Simulation 2, by Ubisoft (slightly updated sequel to F1 Racing
Sim). I just can't seem to get fired up about GP2 since I bought F1RS and
then the above.

Forgive me for revisiting this dispute, but if you can find it, and your PC's
got the horses to run it without turning the graphics way down(no 3D accel.),
then GP2 gets my vote also - but any of the three is better than CPR. I've had
F1RS for some time,(bought a V2 card for it, in fact) but just can't learn to
love it. Using the Ferrari sound from GPL helps :-), but the driving model
says "computer game" a bit too loudly to me. I find it much easier to get
immersed in GP2, despite its limits. And with all the editors, utilities,
carsets, tracks, etc. out there for GP2, it definitely offers the most variety
and tunability. I tried the demo for MGPRS2, and it WAS better than F1RS, but
not hugely so. It's your 2nd best choice; maybe 1st if graphics are more
important than the driving model.

Well i still like GP2 best, despite the graphics. I've F1RS for quite
some time, but i like Gp2 much more.
