I read that it is out, is it any good?
This title has been out for months now. Although it has excellent
graphics, the gameplay suffers due to extreme brake lock-up that, so
far, has not been adjusted. It has an execleent repay system though --
you can jump into a replay at any point and "re-race" from there.
Although it's still on my HD, I rarely play it becuase of the brake
problem.

Lankhor (the authors) have released a number of patches (5 at
last count, although all denoted as Beta). You can just use
the beta 5 patch which should be available on their web site
www.lankhor.com this does make the braking a little better
but it still doesn't feel 100% right to me. It does fix a number
of other bugs however (online play etc.) and many of the 3D
effects have been speeded up.
As has been said, very nice graphics and features, not a
sim though. Lankhor are bring out another title "Warm Up"
very shortly (weeks?) which is very similar to F1WGP but has
many new features and will probably benefit from ongoing
work, whereas F1WGP may get neglected IMO.

Well, actually we should release another patch for F1WGP in some weeks,
providing the new DirectX 8 version of the 3D engine, as well as some other
fixes.
We delayed further patch for F1WGP because of the needed conversion to DX8.
