... But damn the new FIA GT mod for F1-2001 is FUN ;-)

It seems realistic, it's difficult, it's fun and I have a sense it will grow
on me the
more I drive it... it's a keeper !

PS: I better add that I never even tried the unmodified F1-2001 'cos modern
F1 doesn't turn me on at all.
I don't like the way they handle in a sim even if its realistic.
So I have nothing to measure the mod against, and no
previous experience with the game engine at all...

Personally, I believe it is the next greatest sim.  If not, then F1 2002
will be because of the amount of addons that will be possible.

WSC was meant to be, but we're still waiting..?

Difficult? You bet.

I don't consider myself as a particulary good driver (But I have
beaten Andre Warringa in a GP at Monza) but how are you supposed to
keep these cars on the track? In GPL I can trow the cars around and
save it most of the time, but in the MOD I have a hard time not
spinning. I do think the sensation of speed could have been better, it
may be because so much of the view is blocked by the interior of the
car.

I agree.  The cars do not "feel" fast.

That said, this mod is fun, fun, fun.  As far as keeping the cars on the
road... I just finished my first quick race and it felt like the first time
I drove GPL.  Spin, crash... spin, crash, etc.. :)

You used the very *** 'let's all drive 3:00 laps so Andre will fall
asleep out of boredom' trick, remember?? :))
