Hey, I'm here to ask what's your fave new F1\CART racing game. I like realsim, missing even the littlest things make it no fun for me. Also I like editability. Here's my opinions about all the latest\future F1\CART games. So far I've heard that gp3 will run just like gp2 but with weather addon and 3dfx possiabilities. I own gp2 and i love it. heres my opinions on different topics. Graphics: 6 (What you expect, its 3 years old!) Controll: 9 Game Play: 8 Add-ons: 9.5 (I love this bit the most.) Overall: 8.5 Played it about a year ago, it was the ICR2 version. Not to bad. Graphics:6 (again its about 3 years old the one i played. i dont think CARTracing was much better.) Controll: 8 Game Play: 7 (not sure about the AI tho) Add-ons: 8 (lots coming out now.) Overall: 7.5 I owened this (notice the past particaple). All I'll say is dont let the looks decieve you. Graphics: 9 (frame rate was not the greatest) Controll: 8 (took a while to get used to) Game Play: 3 (AI Sucked the big one, Missing all the flags. cut as many corners as you wish, cream cars as hard as you want.) Add-ons: 6 (Track editor is nice. painting cars is a pain in the ass, editing car #, driver names is rather hard, picky game. Overall: 6 I wanted this, not no more. Reason, look at add-ons. Graphics: 9 (very nice, could be that touch better, but couldnt everything) Controll: N\A (sorry, havnt tried it, nor have my friends. probably not to bad.) Game Play: N\A (again i dont know.) Add-ons: 6 (change the tracks, change the tires, change the drivers, change track graphics, but... cant change the tracks. This is what gets me, the game will never change. Overall: 7 Can't say some one review this for me please? All I'll say is the graphics look good.

DjFIL, Man, you don't know what you are missing!!! F1rs is easily the finest road racing sim to ever hit the shelves. Saying you can't add any tracks is no reason to not enjoy the 16 that come with this fantastic sim. Spa is outrageous, Monaco will have you cursing the AI as they kick your butt. Do yourself a favor and fire it up. You do need a 3dfx card, is this your real reason for not playing it? If that's the case, then just bite the bullet and buy one, the sim itself is worth the purchase cost. I assume you realize they are going to be releasing a second version with much more editability, but don't wait for that. Fire that puppy up!!! All the best, Mike -- Michael S.
