Hello, I really like racing sims, and currently play TOCA 2 to death. Anyway, I've been looking at GPL in the shops, but it's still full price, and I want to know if it's really worth getting. How good would it be on my system.

Let me put it in perspective: compared to GPL, TOCA2 SUCKS. Of course, I think TOCA 2 sucks period, but you seem to like it... anyway... GPL is the most fun I've ever had on a racing sim. Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited

all matters what kinda driver you are. Are you very agressive? this threw me off alot when I played GPL on my friends pc. are you willing to take it a bit careful and take time for the rather large learning curve to set in? If you don't mind the drift, taking your time to start with, and a rather large learning curve get it. But I'm one who gets pissed at the smallest things and I can't handle GPL it at all. but I am having fun with SBK at its max dificulty (other than AI). and your system is forsure a-okay. DjFIL

To the original message sender... TOCA 2 is a good arcade racer, but GPL is the _perfect_ simulator, with the steepest learning curve you can imagine, excellent car physics, superb sound, awesome crashes, excellent multiplayer action via VROC... I would buy GPL even if it were selling at ten times what it is now! BTW, in Englan, GPL came down to 19.99 a _long_ time ago, I believe. The Excelsior "ICQ #40620378"
Unless it's gone up again it's still about 25. If it was 250 I'd still say run out and get it :-) Get a decent wheel/pedal setup while your out there. Might be an expensive start, but you won't be buying much other driving software from now on, so it's a saving in the long run <g> Andrew McP

Its only 20.00 in PC World? (it used to be 35.00 when it was first released). Yes, it should run ok on your system. Go buy it now!!!! *Peter* 8-)
