That's cos "GP4 does remain though the game of choice for most leagues in
the world"

No mention of online racing...

It does seem very provincially oriented to the GP series for some
odd reason (obviously the work of a fanboy). Just how popular is
GP nowadays? [Checks RSC's GP subforum] About 20 posts in
this month, compared to over 10,000 (guess) for the GPL
subforum (F1C et al. also dwarfs GP's posts, even NR2003 after
the First controversy died down). Someone with less of a bias
should go and edit it-in particular we've had a lot of sports car
titles come out lately so:

"One particular feature of sim racing is its emphasis on Formula 1, as
opposed to other open-wheel racing series, sports and rally cars, and
most of all NASCAR..."

Got a chuckle out of that one...

Hmmm, I think GPL got a separate mention a while ago. This general
write-up seems to made by a rather obvious GP2/3/4 user, however.
(Although Crammon's Revs basically started the simracing genre I wonder
how many simmers would count those titles to be hardcore "sims", btw..)

rofl: Strangely enough, there are no English sim racers.

just a thought.

in a few years, how many people would consider GPL, NR2003, etc to be
hardcore "sims" ?

it's all relative, i guess.

Revs gave me more than enough goosebumps to rank as a hardcore sim of
its day.
