the way they did I just cannot understand) and supported at least
offline racing well then I would be driving in comps for it right now.
When I drive with F1RS it is great but as soon as the grass plays the
slightest role I feel like all of a sudden I'm in some arcade game :(
F1RS is still on mt HD but all I ever use it for is to watch the odd
race. And I also must say that the replay facility and camera angles are
just not nearly up to Papy standards either. I reckon that upon the
release of GPL that it will simply be in a class of it's own and might
only be challenged by GP3 or F1RS 2 whenever they appear. Of course ICR3
will at least partially put GPL away. And N3 to a lesser extent but not
in my particular case.
