i was wondering will we be judging the gp3 tracks ont he accuracy of todays
race or the ones of 2 years ago. It is quite hard to get footage easily as
they arnt races every 2 weeks?

The GP3 tracks are modelled in their '98 configuration AFAIK. All in all it
seems to be quite hard to judge track accuracy even if there is footage
available - because watching the TV in-car footage led some poor souls to
believe that the tracks in f1-2000 were perfectly accurate. Geoff Crammond
himself admitted once that his goal isn't accuracy down to the very last
inch - he rather tries to capture the feel of a racing circuit, the
challenges the drivers face in each corner and realistic laptimes. This is
where f1-2000 failed big-time.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

I'm very immature.

I'm finding myself mimicking (ok, only on a very, very good lap)
Schumacher's car control on each section of each track so far this season.

Actually from what I've read, the people who said the tracks were
accurate were the ones who had seen them only on TV, while those who
complained that they were inaccurate had actually driven them IRL.

Will you come over the RASF1 with me? I've got someone annoying me there
too, you might be able to hep me out.
BTW, some people complained about the Silverstone track. Iain drove it, and
thinks it's accurate.
