New to Racing online, need advice, which racer to drive.

Hello. Well Gran Turismo 3 has me hooked and now i'd like to race online against some real AI er.. humans ;) Grand Prix Legends seems to be the favorite and i've driven it a bit a long time ago when it debuted. But i dont remember it having any online play and i have no clue as to how you are all playing it online. Its amazingly old but it was incredibly good. Although the graphics are beyond dated now. Are there any realistic F1 sims? IRL sims? Which sim to most people play? I'm not a big nascar fan so i'm not looking for nascar stuff. Anyways thanks in advance. -Adam

Also I'll shamelessly plug my Beginner's Guide to GPL at http://www.legendscentral.com/gplintro.shtml which you may find useful. Online racing in GPL is achieved using a utility called WinVROC. This displays a list of race server along with a number of chatrooms. To race online you need to patch to version 1.2.0.1 of GPL. Cheers Phil Lee Legends Central Admin http://www.legendscentral.com

Update all the GPL car graphics in one go with the JF carset available at http://jfcarsets.cjb.net/ Be warned you need a fairly powerful machine if you have all of these installed - my PII-450 / GF2GTS struggles both online and offline with these cars. I backed up my original car folders before installing and I now swap them in and out, e.g. when racing a Lotus online I will remove the JF carsets for the other six cars and use the default low quality stuff. My dashboard stays nice and high res and I still have constant 36 fps.
