doesn't that depend on the skill of the people on the server ?

well, no, not really.  I do a lot of LAN-racing with a few buddies,
you see.  Monaco just isn't that fun with three cars on the track.

here u can download a new psychic, for the season 2002 update:
ftp://files.gamesmania.de/pub/gamesmania/mp/f1rc/updates/complete/Mec...
ar
and here a link for the 2002 update
light version; not the deluxe version:
http://grandprixnet.gamesurf.tiscali.de/f1rc/downloads.php?op=get&fil...

try to put that in the game, and u will see how perfect it is ;)

Sorry, but that absolutely did not change the fact that it is flawed at it's
core.  Those updates changed nothing to the sim except the standard
graphical updates.  Yes even the physics (not psychic) updates.  F1RC is as
flawed as any other sim, and far from perfect.  Far.  Stop trolling on us.

GPL is a thousand times more perfect then that eh!
