Exactly, Geoff tried to milk it too far.  His fault for being lazy.  We all
know he can write good coding.  Too bad for no GP5.  It's his entire fault,
I feel no remorse for a guy who continues 3 time to give us a simulation
with 1001 idiosyncrasies.  There's so many of them, so many stuff that feels
completely out of place in any modern game, so many gameplay flaws that are
irritating.

I don't think anybody here denies the potential of the game engine.  We've
been saying this since GP3.  If Geoff couldn't "get it", that we didn't
wanted World Circuit with better graphics, he wouldn't be in this situation
nowadays.

Oh, except for the track modelling....but who cares?  In an online league,
everyone has to drive the same track so what does it really matter?  There's
plenty of super-accurate third party tracks for the pedants anyway.
Besides, I think the modelling of the kerbs in GP4, completely nullifies the
accuracy of the tracks...(not that GP4's suspension modelling is good enough
for it to matter)

  and that is Marlboro reddish-orange NOT Ferrari Red.  They have really
been red for decades.  --Yes I keep bring this subject up every year. :) --
