Note: I still consider GPL one of the most fun and challenging sims around.

In terms of physics feel, this would be my assessment..

GTLegends uses the same ISI Motor1 engine as GTR. rFactor uses the Motor 2.
GTL has the graphics part updated to Motor 2 specs but otherwise its the
same old as GTR, with same bugs.

Here is my list, from a vantage point of just being a racing simulation:

1 GTR
2 RBR
3 rFactor (although no racing series is simulated)
4 N2003
5 GPL
6 LFS
7 Netkar
8 GTLegends
9 F1C

Here's one to chew on. My time for the Nurburgring is something like
9:18 in GPL and 8:12 in GTR. So which is more real?

Interesting, but not really relevant. The degree of difficulty in
obtaining a certain lap speed and the degree to which the simulation
responds realistically to setup and control inputs are actually two
different things. IOW, just because it is difficult to go fast around
the Ring in GPL doesn't necessarily mean GPL is more realistic.

BTW, I concede I just forgot RBR, and that it belongs at or near the
top of the list.

I'd call that a draw, seeing as a moderately quick time in both is about 40
seconds quicker. <g>
