Ok, it's been at least a couple of years, if not longer, since the last
time I played GP2, so my memories of how that game felt have long since
faded but those were 2 of the major gripes about GP2 that really used to
***me off. However, without getting the old warhorse back out and
running it I'll stick to my opinion that this is a GP* upgrade and it
ain't that bad physics wise as it used to be. Guess I'll have to get
hold of some of the other current crop of F1 sims that are doing the
rounds in order to compare. That F1RC sounds like fun. :)

I think you're right, it feels nice, is good fun, but it is still
fairly simplistic. Canned spins are still there IMO too. We need a
modern GPL!!! But it is still good fun, and one of the best F1 games
about. Just the best of a bad lot :(

Hey, traction-control is back in F1, so don't feel *too* guilty in
using it! ;-)
However, the satisfaction is much greater if you've driven with
throttle help off. It's a lot more difficult to drive and I struggle
with it too.
