Whats the best Racing Sim currently?

by Al Harriso » Fri, 28 May 1999 04:00:00

Having downloaded the OF1 demo and been disappointed with the poor graphics
can anyone give an opinion on the current best buy for a Racing Sim Formula1
style or Sega Rally type?

I've got a P11 450mhz with 128mb mem and ATI Rage Pro 3d card with 4mb.

Thanks Al

Try Monaco Grand Prix Racing 2 (MGPRS2) - the graphics are excellent,
and it plays pretty well (although not as well as Grand Prix Legends
obviously!).

It also has a fun "retro" mode where you can race *really* old cars
around a fantasy circuit.

The main attraction is the Monaco circuit itself (not surprisingly),
which is extremely detailed and realistic.

I bought OF1R and it is good fun - the graphics are not superb, and some of the
tracks leave a bit to be desired (Brazil especially!) but the camera views are
tremendous.
For accuracy etc it's really a choice between F1RS and GPL - both have their
strengths and weaknesses-but on your set up they should fly - get a voodoo 3
card to really enjoy!!
Happy racing.
