Leaving all discussions about physics aside, for me the track detail in GP4
was much more realistic than in F1-2002 (once you tweaked some of the bright
textures a bit) and this added a lot to the immersion factor of a race
weekend (plus having all those little pit guys scrambling around for every
team - very cool). Have the track graphics, trackside object quantity and
track layout been improved in F1C?

Not at all.

There is no comparision between the drivng of GP4 and F1c, but if they
tracks are your bag, then GP4 should win out. I will say I was less than
impressed by GP4's modability, which is the main reason I have
F1c..Gimmie a LeMans Sportscar anyday over the Forumula 1's.

Despite having a less sophisticated engine, I find GP4 slightly more
convincing. Oddly, the reason I felt F1C was a huge leap over F1 2002
was that the physics felt more like GP4 (albeit, again, in a more
sophisticated engine). The AI and tracks are ultimately why I tend to
prefer GP4 altho I play them both (they both have shit for
multiplayer).

HAve you ever tried playing GP4 over a LAN? It's absolutely hilarious. You
have to limit the frame rate of all connected clients to match that of the
slowest PC on the LAN. Even then, if that slow PC experiences the odd
slowdown, it will stuff up the race and lag to the absolute shit.

Love the game though, I agree with all your points Jason. Plus the fact that
it 'feels' like you're at an F1 event, as opposed to just playing an F1
driving game.
