i picked this little program up on the same day i got GPL. i loaded it up and had it deleted completely within 20 minutes. what a friggin' joke. GP2 kicks this things ***all over the place. now i finally see what everyone was talking about. f1rs is a little toy program and extremely boring. there is nothing in that program that is in the same league as GP2. don't even get me started about GPL. as far as getting around within the program menus, i thought that GP2 was poor. not when compared to f1rs. i bought it for $30. does anybody out there want to witness the horror of F1R(realy)S(ucks) for themselves for half that? first come, first served. $15. going once, going twice, and hopefully going and never to return again... j ferrari or death

Oh, God here we go again. GP2 is better than F1RS - no it isn't - yes it is - no they are both ***cos GPL shits all over both of them...yawn...yawn...yawn. All three have fanatical support so there must be something to them all, wouldn't you think. It's like kids at school, Power Rangers are cooler than SWAT Cats, no they're not - yes they are etc etc. Paul

Ah, you have to be aged under 9 to know this. They are cartoon karate cats who go out and rescue the world every so often. I think it's named after the elite police (or maybe it's army) S.W.A.T. teams. Anyway my six-year old thinks that they are wicked. Paul
