The only really modern-feeling track for GPL I can think of is
Adelaide.. and it's damn fun in GPL :)

I have to admit the last 5 laps of a NASCAR race is usually exciting
but the first 5000 is better spent looking for lint in my bellybutton.

But the ragging on the tyremodel in F1 2001? I think it's heads and
shoulders above GPL's. However I'm not speaking on how close it is to
a real F1 tyre, but it behaves a *lot* more like a real tyre should.
At least it's got progressive slip, instead of GPL's 'always slip'.

As for F1 vs NASCAR, both of them are marketing exercises, and quite successful
in their own markets. Neither of them are very fun for me any more. I watch F1
more than NASCAR, but tend to fall asleep during both. One of the things a I
like about GPL is that it simulates a time when racing was not marketing. The
sport has suffered IMO. Racing drivers race because their lives are empty
without it. Some other people figured out how to get rich on that. Vampires.

And GPL's "steering speed hack" setting is different to this in what way
exactly? check your core.ini if you haven't already, chances are you've
been using a different steering ratio under 60mph without even realising
it. If you've switched it to OFF, then I doubt you spend much time
manouvering at low speed (hairpins, getting out from behind the AI in the
pits ahead of you) or you've set your steering to <10:1, or you have NASA
grade pots in your wheel ;o).

Maybe when F1 2001 has any remotely interesting tracks to drive those cars
on... maybe.

Surely that couldn't take too long...?
