WAIT!! Just kidding! Thought I'd jump in there before a certain rally
monster did! Actually, I think you're right, Todd, about the abundance of
tail-happy driving in GPL (online anyway) versus the real thing. But then,
most of the really quick hotlap replays I've seen have been characterized by
very clean driving . . .

PS Sorry DGF, couldn't resist--the post begged for it!

If he had survived....
BTW anyone know how people who are fortunate enough not to live in the US,
can enjoy this program? Holland, in particular

Because the real life '67 cars were driven by real life '67 F1
drivers that were competing in a 2+ hours long Grand Prix, and not a
bunch of Shift-R hot lappers?
Compare the 1967 season driving with the GPL driving style of somebody
who is able to finish a full GPL Grand Prix season in Pro Mode. I
think these "***-simmers" have to drive as carefully as the real
pilots.
Or put some of the hotlappers in a a real 1967 F1 car, and see how
they are doing ...
