If one were to buy just one auto sim (preferably a sports car type) what
would it be? Hardware requirements are not an issue. I'm looking for
great graphics and physical modeling as well as lots of fun.

Thanks!

Warren,

There are no quality sports car titles at present to recommend.
I would advise you wait a little while for Grand Prix Legends.  It
accurately models Formula One Grand Prix racing from the year of 1967 and a
demo (albeit quite old now) can be found at any of the major game sites on
the internet.

Mike.

I'd definatly get Grand Prix Legends, looks to be the best racing sim to
come out in a long time.

But there is also a very good looking Sports Car sim coming called
Professional Sports Car Racing. I tried it at E3 for 4hr and it really looks
great!

The forthcoming "Grand Prix Legends", Warren.
Unfortunately for you, it isn't a sporsts car sim but certainly will
provide the best physics modelling ever seen.  Couple that to brilliant
circuits and excellent graphics.

It's due in September, I believe.

Depends what *type* of sports car you mean? Modern F1, Historical
F1, Nascar, Indy car/CART, rally car, road cars?

I would say the *best* so far for great graphics and physical
modelling would have to be Formula one racing simulator
(f1RS).......

But, Grand Prix Legends (GPL) looks like it will blow everything else
away when it is (finally) released?

NB: both are f1?
