OOPS! You are right. I didn't try enough tracks.
GP3 does indeed have banking on some of the tracks. I
was expecting banking at Austria, and there is none.
The first lap I did at Brazil caused me to slap my
forehead! It has a lot of banking, though in
different places than in F1 2000. The F1 2000
and the GP3 Brazil tracks are very different!
Is there an in-car video of a lap at Brazil
available anywhere on the net? I'd like to
see which one is closer to the real thing.
