i picked this little program up on the same day i got GPL. i loaded it
up and had it deleted completely within 20 minutes. what a friggin'
joke. GP2 kicks this things ***all over the place. now i finally see
what everyone was talking about. f1rs is a little toy program and
extremely boring. there is nothing in that program that is in the same
league as GP2. don't even get me started about GPL. as far as getting
around within the program menus, i thought that GP2 was poor. not when
compared to f1rs.
i bought it for $30. does anybody out there want to witness the horror
of F1R(realy)S(ucks) for themselves for half that? first come, first
served. $15. going once, going twice, and hopefully going and never to
return again...

let me guess you are a keyboard player and dont like f1rs because the
computer does not drive the car for you as much as it does in gp2 which is
like driving on rails so because it is harder you dont like it, but this
does not mean it is ***it just means that you prefer more of an arcade
drive than a real simulation which by the way gp2 does if you are not using
keyboard or steering help option in control config.

All three have fanatical support so there must be something to them all,
wouldn't you think. It's like kids at school, Power Rangers are cooler than
SWAT Cats, no they're not - yes they are etc etc.

Ah, you have to be aged under 9 to know this. They are cartoon karate cats who go out
and rescue the world every so often. I think it's named after the elite police (or
maybe it's army) S.W.A.T. teams. Anyway my six-year old thinks that they are wicked.
