F1RS and GPL comparison

OK so comparison between the two is a bit chalk and cheese. I got F1RS and the demo GPL over Easter and switching between the two I definitely get the impression that the car in F1RS "floats" along the track whereas GPL appears to model vertical movement much more effectively. After watching the real racers crashing across the bumps in Argentina the same weekend (especially that one bump before the back straight), maybe this is a weak point in F1RS and a reason why some rave over the GPL.

Terry are looking at it properly?I have just raced around Argentina with F1RS,and you do get the sensation of the bumps very well(the whole car shakes)in car and on outside TV mode. Simon
Your first sentence is 100% correct. You are comparing apples with bananas and it just doesn't make any sense. There are 30 years between the two eras and if the programmers are even *HALF* right then of course there is a difference!! -- Regards, Bruce.
