Of course I have never driven a -67 F1 car :-( but it you look at some videoclips from the era you will surely notice the difference. Johan

I've been a GPL fan for years and I'm wondering if there's a modern F1 sim that's as good or close to the physics model of GPL (hopefuly with more grip). I've tried MGPRS2 but basically it sucks.Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

Gpl is a little to slippery if you compare to the real thing back in -67 but sure as hell funny to drive. -- Greetings Johan N [email hidden]

GP3 is not too bad, but wait for F12000 Championship Season that is to be released very soon to see how it pans out.

The small companies that go out on a limb to produce the best code (i.e. West Bros. of WSC fame!) can't afford the F1 sim license. Doug

If you can wait, the forthcoming sequel to MGPRS2, called something along the lines of F1 Racing Sim 3 I expect, looks promising. And F1 Championship Season 2000 does as well. But so did Spirit of Speed 1937 when it was announced... If you can't wait, GP3 I suppose.

Nothing yet. I'm not too bothered though as modern F1 isn't that much fun anyway. Many of the drivers say they don't really like the cars, and with the re-introduction of traction control for next year it'll become even more like slot car racing. - Michael

This comment by Jackie Stewart has been blown out of all proportions. What he said was that he had seen one of his family (grandson, I think it was) playing GPL and Jackie thought that GPL "didn't model the driving techniques used in 1967". So he hadn't actually played it himself when he made that comment. GPL doesn't model *any* driving techniques, that's up to the driver. And for all we know, his grandson could have been playing on the keys. "Amp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > Jackie Stewart said....
