F12k is not.
GPL gives a sense of speed, and, once you get going, gives you some diverse,
challenging tracks to have some exciting races on.
F12k gives a headache configuring your PC to run it, todays dull circuits,
and a nice CD, which is shiny <G>
GPL is (IMO) a hell of a lot better, and, unlike any other driving game/sim
I owned, GPL enjoyed the luxury of never being uninstalled, which speaks for
itself really.
