OK, so maybe I'm not a newbie, but heck, I'm a weekend simmer - at best! Another 72secs and Huttu is mine!!!! Next goal is to go negative in GPLrank but I've only played GPL for about 3 hours in the last 3 years. Can someone whose played F1 2001 and GPL give me an indication of how difficult I might find that? Cheers -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F1 2001 rank: -0.664
Personally i find F1 2001 much more difficult to drive then GPL. I guess it has to be the inertia of the cars, where F1 2001 has a more complex physics-engine. GPL has the "bricklike" inertia. Its so much faster too then GPL, you need to react fast when something happens :) Btw, congratulations about going negative!. I myself is also a "weekend player". I had a brake from GPL for a while, and just come back, to lower my +62 to +19 in a couple of days.

GPL has the "bricklike" inertia. I think you may be right. I'm finding GPL pretty easy - at least compared to the last time I played it. My throttle control has improved out of sight since then. I have some real gripes about the 'ring though - that thing's just a memory test, not a race track! -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F1 2001 rank: -0.664
