What do real race drivers think of GPL?

One question I'd absolutely LOVE to ask an F1 driver that I believe
drive our favourite sims (Villenueve, Salo?) is "Have they driven GPL,
and what did they think?"

Whenever I think of our UK coverage of F1 races I always hope to hear
a comment from Martin Brundle or even Murray Walker about it. d8-)

Maybe one day I'll see a mention of our newest favourite sim in an
interview....

Are there any real race drivers (pro or semi-pro) reading this newsgroup?

A while back, Tiff Needell from BBC Top Gear, (Not an F1 driver , but he has
driven many other types of racecars including LeMans) had a small article
about racing games, although it was only using consoles. IIRC he tried
Formula1 by Psygnosis, something on the N64, a few others and TOCA (This was
beforeGran Turismo was releasd), his opinion was that TOCA was the most
realistic, but none of them quite match up to real racing. Maybe  GPL would
change his mind. BTW he was using a cheap wheel & pedal setup Gamester PSX I
think. (The one with a notchy feel about centre).
