Man, you haven't got a clue if you think OF1R, F1RS
and MGPRS2 are better (in any way) than F1-2000.

- incredibly low framerate even on high-end system (about 10fps on a
celeron450 w/ voodoo3 and 256 megs RAM)
- the track models are totally and utterly wrong - a disaster (i mean it,
just try Spa) (!) Buy Superbike 2000 if you want to know how the nurburgring
does really look.
- physics are sometimes nice, sometimes ridiculous
- AI is stupid as hell
- annoying speech
- the car models are wrong
- the engine sounds are weak and the same for all cars
the goods:
+ partially great sound effects (skidding etc.)
+ nice selection of many different camera views
+ a lot of setup options, though i'm sceptical if they are really useful
+ good damage model if compared to other sims (not nearly as good as GPL
though)
+ it's not as bad as Spirit of Speed 1937
I'm glad that I could test it before buying - It doesn't even play in the
same league as GP3 or GPL...if GP3 is a Ferrari then F12000 is a Prost.
Everyone who got caught by the hype, dl the warez or wait for the demo and
see for yourself.

Difficult question, I would compare it with the Psygnosis games... but it
clearly has better physics. If I had to rate it compared to other modern F1
titles the order would be something like this:
1. GP2
2. F1RS
---
3. MGPRS2
5. OF1R
4. F1-2000
6. F1'99
want to know the reasons? look at my post below
Something wrong with your PC then, mine runs at at least 20fps I guess on a
400MHz, voodoo2, 64Mb system!
Can't comment on that, haven't seen the real thing!
Haven't done a race yet!
And the drivers are too small!!
