I've just updated my computer to something more than a 200mhz pentium.. that could only really run GP2. I loved GP2, very hard to drive and very realistic. Excellent physics. Couldn't tell much about the graphics given my slow machine... Anyhow, what do I buy now... I'm looking for: - support for Windows XP - excellent, realistic physics - very nice graphics - not arcade like at all.... Comments? Thanks! Tom
GPL is the best if you want to race online with other people. F12001 is also an excellent sim. The multiplayer aspects are not as good but the sim is very well done. I guess it depends on what you like to drive. I like the tachs and meaty sound of the older cars. I have both of these titles.

Really it sounds like what you want is GPL. Its probably the hardest of the sims to drive well and although it doesnt have the fastest physics engine i think its got the best physics model. The origional graphics in GPL arnt that good (being 3 years old)but its very easy to download updates for all the cars and tracks to 2001 levels (oh and there about 100 tracks out now for GPL). And its also the least arcade like of any sim ever IMHO dan "Tom Massung" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I've just updated my computer to something more than a 200mhz pentium..that > could only really run GP2.
