Haven't played a lot of sim racing lately but have some time to get
back into it.

What are the most realistic sims right now?  Would this be accurate?
(1) GPL
(2) rFactor
(3) Live For Speed

Where does GTR and GT Legends fit?

1)  GTR
2)  rFactor (if fictitious tracks/cars are OK with you)
3)  NR2003

GPL is still a hoot, but its' physics model, especially with regard to
response to setup changes, is not as realistic as the above.

Let the games begin.

Where would LFS stand?

Where can I get GTR?  Isn't GT Legends the same thing?

(1) RBR
(2) GTP for N2003
(3) V8 SuperCars for F1C
(4) RH2004 for F1C

I prefer the first 2, but I think the order of all 4 could be easily
debated.

I should add that I didn't rank GT Legends because I haven't played it
yet, but based on the demo I think it would be fighting for the top
spot with the other 4 here.  The GPL69 mod should rank well when it's
finished, altho I'd probably dock it points if it has the Lotus 49b
I've seen in the screenshots of it (the one I've seen is the low front
wing/high rear wing config which raced maybe once in 69 - altho I kinda
think they were running both high wings at Spain when Hill/Rindt went
off).

GTL, GPL, GTR, LFS, RFactor, RBR, N2003, F1C, SCGT. And with all the
mods and "privateer" projects (e.g. NetKar, Racer), there's plenty of
choice for the motorsports sim enthusiast these days.

Depends on your definition of "realistic".  Is a sim full of non-existing
cars and tracks, and full of "possibilities" something realistic?  More on
that in 6 months <vbg>

No.  If you count on just and *only* just the physics, it would be something
like 1) RBR, 2) RBR 3) RBR

In the "ISI has yet to correct problems they had 5 years ago" list ;-)

You mean, where _do_ GTR and GT Legends fit?

Note: I still consider GPL one of the most fun and challenging sims around.

In terms of physics feel, this would be my assessment..

  I like to learn and have no problem with you pointing out common
English errors Sno... errr, Bruce, but it would be nice if you stated
WHY it is incorrect and maybe gave an example or two.

  I know there are people out there that hate 'grammar nazis', but there
are also silent readers out there that take in the lesson and apply the
knowledge. I have in the past, and I am sure I shall in the future.

(Yeah, I checked over this message as best I could for errors. ;)  )

GTLegends uses the same ISI Motor1 engine as GTR. rFactor uses the Motor 2.
GTL has the graphics part updated to Motor 2 specs but otherwise its the
same old as GTR, with same bugs.

Here is my list, from a vantage point of just being a racing simulation:

1 GTR
2 RBR
3 rFactor (although no racing series is simulated)
4 N2003
5 GPL
6 LFS
7 Netkar
8 GTLegends
9 F1C

In other words, you have to take GTR and GT Legends as a pair and not
two singular items.  So it would fit under the 'They do' line instead of
the 'it and it does' line.
