GP4 performance tip - important.

All well and good, but how the *** is your average punter, who is just wanting to play an
F1 game on his PC, supposed to sort out all these issues ?? They just won't be arsed. Not
with a quality, no nonsense product, like F1 2002 sitting next to it on the shelf.
Sorry, but i can't understand how Geoff Crammond expects to make any money on this pile of
bugged crap.
