If he'd said that GPL has silly physics, THAT would have been stupid. Know what, I can't waste my time with GPL anymore, as I'm wasting it with GP3. ;) -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved.

I've played the actual demo some times, and it's fun. But there some things left to do, hope they spend some more time for improvements. And the same people did NICE2, so I will not buy mbtr directly when it's released, I'll wait until the first patches. >So don't waste your time with GPL and wait for MBTR....should be out in >october for the last race of the season in Jarama.... It's completly different, maybe it's a little bit similar to NFS PU. And MBTR will not include Solitude :-) Berthold

There is no way you can "waste" time with GPL. It's the definitive simracing experience on a PC at the moment. That said, after nearly two years of solid GPL it's time for a diversion. MBTR looks set to be very good, likewise Nascar Heat, but they're not out yet. Meanwhile you can practise your skills on GPL to hit the ground running when either of the above ship.

>So don't waste your time with GPL and wait for MBTR....should be out in >october for the last race of the season in Jarama.... Perfect flame bate with some of the obsessed GPL'ers in this group. But, it is quite true that MBTR is a far more fun game than GPL IMHO. Greatly superior feel and graphics. GPL is pretty boring by comparison unless you are playing against another person.

well i don't know about the last comment about my beloved gpl but i've played mbtr and liked it a lot already, the thought that it will get even more realistic is great. can't wait.. ;) rich

Hello, Just came back from Finland for the 6th race in the championship. I had a long chat with Markus Oestreich abou the game, he has spent 5 hours driving the game to improve the general feel (the firt test drive was done by Ellen LOHR) and the next version of the demo should have a more "realistic" feel than this one. The main problem is in the demo that the rear grip is nowhere near reality, too little on acceleration and too much on braking, that will change. I would like to point out that it is very seldom that a top driver in a category is directly involved in the making of such a game and that it should make the game very close to the real thing. So don't waste your time with GPL and wait for MBTR....should be out in october for the last race of the season in Jarama....

Sorry but if people don't like GPL because they don't have anything with the '67 season. I hate truck racing. Racing with a speed limiter in things that weren't build to race.

It's not possible to waste your time with GPL. It's the only auto racing simulation. The rest are just games! Do you work for MBTR?

You were fine until you mentioned GPL.

Well, I've won a meal SO now let's have more fun and change GPL by GP3 in my prevuous post Being serious again Thanks Jan for the cheering up, we had so much BAD LUCK this year that it boosts morale to have such a week-end, and I don't talk about the saturday were we had 2 place in time practice and we got kicked out in the first corner by a yellow man (insider's joke) carrying number 4.

No prob, we'll be happy to see you in Zolder, it might be a bit "hot" since DAF is planning to have their giant hospitality and because of what happened last year they are not exactly popular in truck racing but we'll see.
