What's the name of the GPL game you all talk about? I googled it and I just get rubbish.
I must admit that I'm not a big fan of F1 simulators, but I remember having a good time when my brother and me played with GP2.
I have to find something to calm the winter test boredom.

I have GTL, I dont like the way the game runs, u have to faff about doing stupid things all the time, its more like a console game than a PC game. Real liked the concept i just think they messed it up.

PS. Here is why PGR3 is Soooo much fun

I'm downloading the GTR2 demo, maybe I'll still be able to play on-line.

I have the demo of EASports F1 season 2001, with the damage on 300%, It's a real challenge, esspecially as the only track is the Indy mickey mouse circuit, and with only 7 opponents It looks very much like 2005.

I preferd GTR to GTR 2 as for the neww ones they have used the physics engine they used for GTL which I find unrealistic and not so comfortable to drive with. Meh most others seem to like it though :wink:

I voted GTL - because I love the old cars and we are having some amazing league races at the moment 8)

I must reinstall GPL - it is probably still the Daddy, but I would need to compare it to modern stuff to be sure. Does anyone have any download tips if I do a fresh install? It's been so long I've forgotten what patches I need etc.

rFactor gets up close to these two, but it's heavily dependent on the quality of the mods available.

GPL needs a lot of patches. First, you have to install the official 1.2 game patch. This patch will update both 1.0.0.0 and 1.1.0.3 versions of GPL

Then next is the GPU speed fix, same web page. And after that the Direct 3D patch.
I then suggest you get the high resolution cars, much improved. I lifted that from the BHMotorsports demo, the 67 car file.
