You heard a little more than that. Do you really expect to see copies of
contracts and FIA licensing agreements?
Money.
Graphics, physics, sound, and miscellaneous details (like pitting, weather,
etc.). All better.
Based on what I've seen with the GT mod, I'd say it would definitely do a
better job of simulating '67 F1 cars.

A perfectly realistic sim will never happen. Well it does, it's called
real-life racing :)
It's the truth David. It's the year of the perfect combination of man and
machine, of racing and gentlemenship. The same thing happens for WWII/WWI
air sims, they have the same mystique compared to a bland modern F1 combat
flight sim.

GPL perfectly lifelike? Nope. Closer by far than anything in its day, you bet. Even now GPL still gives me as good or better
feedback on what's happening at the contact patches than anything else. And for my money that's the ball game.
What was that quote from Schumacher last season about "listening" to the tires as they talked to him?

F1RC doesn't handle anywhere near as realistically as F12001. I was one of
the people who dismissed F12001 initially - boy did I feel silly once I saw
how good it REALLY was (i.e. post-patch!)
It is blindingly obvious that you haven't tried F12001 online hotlapping!
Agreed. GPL is the best online multiplayer game (so the Americans tell us)
(nowhere else has affordable high-speed internet)

GPL is a fabulous game. It was the king until F12001 came along. Now,
there's no reason to play GPL until you're lucky enough to be able to race
online or you're an 'ol timer' who doesn't like these fancy modern cars.

you bet. Even now GPL still gives me as good or better
In its day yes, now (IMO)......... .no. I feel F1 2001 and N4 do a better
job of giving feedback of whats happening.
Yeah? Every time I tried it the other cars moved erratically around the
track. I live 3km from the centre of my city and I've recently been told
that I'm too far away from the phone exchange for ADSL. Oh well, it's $90 a
month with a 3gig d/l limit anyway. What a joke....
