GPL is nothing but a souped up arcade racer.  I dare any of you to find me
footage of any F1 race of that era that exhibits the driving style you
arcade racing dudes are so enamoured with.

I tend to agree with this,but`s it`s good fun though.
Still prefare F1RS , and modern F1 cars to old cars though,but will be
buying the full GPL game when it comes out .

I just don't understand how you guys think a 400 hp car that weighs 1100lbs
with 1960's tires and no wings to give downforce. is not gonna slip and
slide around the track. you guys are on crack comparing it to todays F1
cars.

 Go watch how they race the old 26 miles Nurburgring, their car is always
sideway
