Sounds like you're judging it by the F3000 which I would agree still isn't
quite right IMO but they've absolutely nailed the F360, Mini Cooper and
Toyota Supra in this version - they feel sublime.

I'll give the mini another go.  I mostly tried the F3000/Mini/F360 and
wasn't impressed at all, especially having driven a Cooper S pretty
hard recently (the mini challenge mod is pretty convincing imho, after
doing the real thing).  The F3000 was by the far the weakest of the
cars I tried.  I'll try a few more laps in the mini/f360 and maybe
I'll be more into it.

It felt wrong to me when I tried it about a month ago, I don't know if it
has been changed since or not though. Granted, I only gave one car a single
lap around one track and then uninstalled it.

Gotta give full props to the fact that it's free though.. I will definately
try again with multiplayer.

<shakes head>  GPL felt horribly wrong to me after one lap.  Download 0.99,
do 20 laps at Falkenberg in the F360 and get back to
us......................

I would agree, it does take a good few laps to get into.  I actually quite
like the F3000 (that other people were saying they didn't like) and the F
Renault.

All the best,

The FOV is different (fairly narrow by default - hence the low feeling of
speed)   The FF is different - particularly from Papy games. etc so yeah, it
takes a bit of getting used to, but it felt completely natural to me after a
few laps.  The tracks don't have the sophisticated bumps like ISI stuff but
they're as good as the GPL track modelling.

It is no further from reality, physics/dynamics-wise, than GPL - IMHO.
