I can't comment on CPR, but I got the same feeling with the Demo version of
F1.
Looked great and I was keen to like it.......but when the speedo's showing
300km/h
it felt like I was doing 50km/h....GP2/ICR/Nascar were all much better......
I deleted the demo, after a few goes.....just no sensation of speed, which
as the original
poster says...left me cold....

Don't worry, lots of other people besides just Ubisoft regard it as a
true F1 simulation too.
We are probably playing a different version of F1RS, because entering
grass does not instantly send me out of control. I can still drive the
car straight for some time, but it does affect the driving, just like
it should. Psygnosis F1 had this problem you described, not F1RS.
I can do that in F1RS too.
We must be talking about a different game. I'm talking about Ubisoft
F1RS, you sound like you are talking about Psygnosis F1. ;-)
Psygnosis game had a terrible computer driver AI, F1RS has great AI.
Very competitive, don't try to ram you out of the track like in F1...
Check out the box that you are not playing Psygnosis F1. ;-)

Is this feller for real? What exactly did he buy....F1RS or CART PR?

I haven't read the manual much, but it's widely known that he likes computer
games. That's why I'm pretty sure he has F1RS. He can afford it, that's for
sure!

Er, excuse me, but Jacques Villeneuve used GP2 to learn several of the
F1 tracks in 1996. His pole at Spa blew everyone away; no one thought
he would even be near the front for his first race on this challenging
circuit. He publicly credited this pole to his GP2 experience.
Also, MS claims that Mark Blundell and Mauricio Gugelmin have put in
many laps on CPR, and that Mark went 10 seconds faster than any of them
at CPR's Laguna, despite their hundreds of hours of practice on CPR.
According to Ubi Soft's web site, Renault personnel spent many hours
helping to create F1RS; one of their engineers wrote the physics model.
There are rumors that Jean Alesi was one of the test drivers.
All of the top F1 teams use simulations to develop their cars and try
new ideas out before building real hardware. These sims may not have
the kind of user interface our retail sims have, but racing teams are
very involved with racing sims, for good reason: they save time and
money.
Sims can have their downside, too; in 1996, Jacques struggled to get
Patrick Head to allow him to use setups which better suited Jacques'
style but which the sim said were slower. Once Jacques won the
argument, he began winning poles and races. I suspect that perhaps the
Williams racing sim got an update after the 1996 season.
As commercial sims evolve, it's not inconceivable that real race drivers
will begin to use them extensively for training; after all, sims have
been used to train airplane pilots for many years.

Well,that explains it-Jean is one of the best (and responsible for one of my
worst hangovers ever) - I just feel sorry he isn't in a Williams or Ferrari in
'98-Love to see him head to head with Villeneuve in the same equipment-I don't
think there would be any competition.
Don't write him off just yet-Williams '99 - you heard it here first.
