I thought it was decent, but then GPL came out and I haven't looked around
since. Has F1RS been updated?

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the
citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a
double-edged sword. It both emboldens the ***, just as it narrows the
mind.  And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the
*** boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no
need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry,
infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their
rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I
have done. And I am Caesar."   -- Julius Caesar

GOOD, decent controls unlike F12001.

It appears the AI is criticized in F1RC, i don't.
There is no internet multiplayer like in F12001 (I mean no working one...)
Track updates, seasons updates...everything the same
F12001 has the "GT-MOD" which is a definite bonus but it is still
uncontrollable because of the SHITTY controller setup/routine.

Basically for me at  least F1RC is the best modern F1 game today...

So does Ubisoft make F1RC? I don't have any "mods" that came with F1/2001.
Did I get an old game or are all these mods produced by "hackers" and
available for download?

I had DTM for N4 but I found the controllability terrible so I shelved N4.

To keep it short, F1RC looked promising but had problems with the AI
(they're CRAP), multiplayer (CRAP) and the physics.
Ubi promised a patch to be released in April 2001 but they lied.
