As we get closer to reality the margin between groundbreaking and just
another racing sim has blurred to the point of invisibility. This is one reason why there can never be another GPL no matter how great the current sim is.

A millstone more like!! I pondered over that one. I still think it was a major release but came out just before accelerated graphics cards started to be released. Plus it was the first real F1 sim for 4 years. After that we had a string of them. Regardless of its shortcomings I think it was a milestone, just a shortlived one. The millstone was the fact that the shortcomings carried over into the later releases not on my list! Cheers Tony |

I was actually a GP2 fan but it arrived about a year late for what it was. GP3 & GP4 were disappointing because the physics were basically the same as GP2 which had been stomped by Papy with GPL. |
