Yes it is.  I just saw Fatal Racing today, but I didn't know what it was...

Yeah, some years ago we play lots of this game in LAN networks with friends, but,
it's not enough stunt driving compare to Stunt Driver or 4D sports driving, IMO.

I don't think so !!!

GPL is difficult not because the engine is very realistic BUT because the car
were very difficult to drive fast.

If you take normal cars with very realistic car physics it's really easy to
drive !!!!

I'm sur that A Subaru Impreza STI with GPL physics will be VERY easy to drive
because the real car IS ! ( in fact the subaru is need more a rail train
physics ;o))) )

Good idea :o)

  Yeah, Stunt Driver was great!  My friend and I used to play together on a
null-modem cable, or through the phone lines on our wickedly fast 2400/9600
baud modems.  There was an editor for that as well, it took months before I
discovered it.  That really added to the fun.  

  One really cool thing was, if you accelerated right away, then shifted into
neutral (before it hit second gear, I think, it's been years), the thing would
accelerate to 300 mph in about 5 seconds!  I did that over the modem with my
friend, who of course, freaked out.  

  Memories :-)

Yep, I got it off abandonware last summer.  Great game.  :)  Especially with
the codes.  If anyone wants me to post the codes, just let me know.
