Grand Prix Legends

A simulation of 1967 Grand Prix cars by Papyrus and the first sim to feature
their "new" game engine.

Here's a very comprehensive site about the game:

GPL=Grand Prix Legends

The common opinion on this newsgroup is that it's the best racing sim you
can get.

Personnaly I agree, but because it's a real sim you have to spent a lot of
time to get it right. And that's why I prefer F1 2000 as a game (not as a
sim), this game has great physics, and by spending only one or two hours a
week  you will be able to do some great racing.

So conclusion: If you have lots of spare time get GPL, otherwise: F1 2000.

BTW You should also try Super 1 Karting Simulation, this one really rocks!

It stands for Grand Prix Legends, the best racing sim available today.  Come
join us in our adoration... the tithes are low and the commandments are few.

(Hmmm...anyone seen a "10 Commandments of GPL" list out there anywhere?)

It also stands for General Public License, which is quite annoying when
you do a net search....

What is GPL?
Grand Prix Legends is the most dangerous threat to families since the inception
of fluoridation of the public water supplies. It is insidious. It is initially
frustrating, then, just when you think "I can quit anytime I want, and I will",
you find it has become fatally ***ive. Even if you're no good at it.
Stay away.
I beseech you.

You're kidding right?  Or have you been on Pluto since...when was it
that 'IT' began...October 1998?

GPL...Grand Prix Legends...the single largest focus of this group since
the moment it came out.  Hardest sim you'll ever buy, and most
rewarding (as long as rewards for you don't include cutscenes and
trophies but are merely the feeling you get from smacking down people
in 1967 Formula One cars =)

8. No kids, fortunately...They'd probably *beat* me...<g>
