Tracks: F1 2001 vs. F1RC?

For starters I have not tested F1 2001 but Im worried about the
accuracy of tracks in it. In F1 2001 they are made from videos and
pictures by single artist, compared to F1RC where the tracks have been
done using GPS technology so that the accuracy was down to "nearest
millimeter"?.

I remember the horrible tracks on earlier EA F1 sims and I simply love
the superaccurate tracks of F1RC.

Now to the thing Im afraid of: What If F1 2001 has better physics but
the tracks suck? As a physics freak Im forced to choose F1 2001. But
its hard to get used to inaccurate tracks when you have seen the
best..

So, what are the tracks like in F1 2001?

The tracks in F1RC don't have one bump in the road even, hardly what I
call accurate. Yes, they got the geometry of the tracks right, but  I
doubt the feel of the road is accurate at all.

F1RC is more accurate overall.
Some tracks in F1 2001 are just plain bad.
F1 2001 is more bumpy, but they don't do anything to upset the car.
