GPL is the only game worthy of the Ferrari license right now.  ;-)

>>>Smooth driving, feels "right"

>>It's a bit too easy maybe, but otherwise not TOO bad.

>>>Cons:
>>>Cockpit is the same for all cars, no MPH gauge or steering wheel.
>>>Also no virtual movement within the***pit.

>>That was a disappointment.

>>Other big con: FF implementation sucks.
>Whats FF implementation??

To those who were underwhelmed by the demo (like me, though I found it fun
enough to play a fair amount), I suggest getting the "fullgrid" and "allcars"
hacks and the .  Alas, the GT1 site (scgt.sports-***.com) removed the
hacks, so I'm not sure which site still has them.  But the game takes on a
totally different feel with the handling tweeks (reportedly from ISI
themselves) and a grid of 16 cars, with you at the wheel of the Porsche GT1.
It still needs a better balance of in-car to outside car sounds (yes, I know I
can futz with this by editing the wav files), side view mirros (I gather the
cars have them?), individual***pits.  But it otherwise impresses me.

Viper, for example, is much better.

Force Feedback.

Again, Viper racing proved this is untrue. SCGT, like most racers,
doesn't even attempt a serious implementation like Viper's. In Viper
FF actually helps you drive because they model wheel pull on turns,
wheel loseness on skids/hilltops, not just the lame collision-only FF
that plagues so many games.

I dont know Joe I put Viper to bed when this one came out.... I am a
realism nut.. I got sick of the viper fantasy tracks pretty quick.  I
been to Limerock many times and let me tell you Even the trees are in
the right places.  And I also got tired off all the vipers fast when I
saw the variety in SCGT.  Also only 8 cars in viper And I guess I just
like fog  viper has none.  the fog at limerock is so realistic rolling
off them Berkshire Hills after a spring rain

I understand now Joe...Not Having FF myself I dont appreciate the
difference.  You make me want to blow money on a Nascar pro just to
drive viper again
