This sim is awesome......... The only racing sim with no canned spins. At every race, it's a pleasure to fight against our car, with understeer, oversteer, but we can correct our trajectory even if we start to lose the control. I made a very great race at Spa (8 laps) yesterday (doing my first championship !!) and i want to share my feelings: I was 3rd in the grid and, after "Eau Rouge", i was only 5th. Then, i drive as quick as i can to overtake the 4th and 3rd. So, after 3 laps, i was 3rd, 3 seconds behind Braham and Clark, the 1st and 2nd. Then, i try to overtake them but, impossible because they were exactly as fast as me !! But the miracle appeared in the 7th lap: In the terrific "Eau Rouge", Clark wants to attack Braham but hits him and the 2 guys made a HUGE crash, exactly like Villeneuve and Zonta at Spa 98. So, i was a lucky 1st in the 7th lap and think that i will obtain a quite easy win..........but GPL is cruel. At the last lap (yes, the last !!) , i heard a enormous "BOUM", i looked at the mirrors and saw a big fire in the rear of my car: my engine just exploded. Bye bye victory, but it was a great moment...... This race remembers me a little the Clark 67' Monza race: He overtake a lot of cars, was first with a good advance and, in the last lap, he was out of fuel and lost the race.

Someone nitpiicking in r.a.s. NEVER, call the GPL cops! ;) I love GPL, but I also love simracing in general, and hate to see such sweeping generalisations about other sims because I feel it cheapens GPL when it's placed (wrongly IMHO) in such worshipful regard, I actually can prolly find about as many things that annoy me about GPL as in any other sim racer.
