        Sorry for this question. I wasn't into sim racing for something like
1,5 years.
        What simulation with road coarses people race today? Is it still
GPL? I am interested only in original games.

        TIA -- Mario

F1 Challenge by EA Sports is also an outstanding sim with exclusively
road courses.  Also, there are downloadable mods to add sports cars
and other racing genres to the game.  It is very fun and very
challenging.

        Thanks.
        But, since you've said that this "is also", I presume that Papy
still has the best physics, : ). -- Mario

Mario,

you want to "try" something, find Netkar.  it is in beta form but gives
hours of (actually simulated) driving fun, IMHO.  Some multiplayer support,
is can be hard or easy to do depending on reading-comprehension skills.
there are about 5 tracks to DL separately, 2 server/multiplayer utils you
can use, and all most all is found on NKzone.com.

Field of view is different than the released sims, to give yourself time to
adapt.  good fun, for free, Oh and there is NO AI, so you race against
yourself unless you get or find someone online.

Yes, and it's even better in Papy's Nascar 2003, if you unlock the built-in
Trans-Am driving model. All GPL tracks are available, and more are released
almost weekly.

Bye,
Leo

        Thanks Leo (and Sting)

        I presume I could find some place on The Net where I can find more
info about that Trans-Am mode. Second thing, I tried to install my GPL
again, after long time. There were some problems because of Windows XP. I
don't like those things. I hope using only tracks from GPL wouldn't cause
problems. -- Mario
