Updateable to current standards in 2005 April 22, 2005

Although the out of box product may appear somewhat dated, please note that the Papyrus design team have released a "GPL 2004 demo" as freeware, and this is in effect a complete upgrade to this product, produced with the co-operation of many modders/designers. There are new car graphics, sounds and force-feedback effects. Combine this product with the freeware "demo" and you have a state of the art historic F1 simulation which is still a bear to drive. The out of pocket expense is ridiculously low, given the price of new sims, and I would recommend this (with the upgrade--find it yourself) without reservation. But be warned: this is an uncompromising simulation, and hardly suitable for a casual gamer.
Classic is best..! March 23, 2004

Thank you..!Which is precisely why I prefer an old classic road car such as my humble 1500cc, 1971 VW Beetle, as opposed to a modern day all bells ringing, singing and dancing, clinical, spiritless non-DIY friendly modern day high performance vehicle. Creature comforts aside, you don't have to break the speed limit nor the bank to experience the physical limitations of such cars. Need I say anymore? Case rested. For those who don't know now. You'll never know. Your loss is my gain. Of course if you're of adequate means the above isn't an issue. Simply pay your fee and enjoy your track day etc. :) Well done Sierra for enlightening the previously unfamiliar..! Sonicpixy
This simulation is not 6 years old . February 13, 2004

I think there is unanimity about the quality of this simulation . I just want to highlight the fact that, as soon as you install it as a 1998 graphically obsolete software, you have just put the foot in the door. In the next hour(s), through free downloads from the web, you will polish it into what I think is still the best road circuit simulation in 2004 : photo quality graphics, hundreds of circuits sometimes better than the originals ( you'll find the old Monza with the oval, Ile of Man TT, Limerock Park, Oulton Park, Le Mans, Laguna Seca ....) . Someone provides force feedback, someone else a Nurburgring tutorial ... it never stops. There are online leagues everywhere from Brazil to Sweden and you get all that stuff, legally, for less than $10 . Come on in !
 A classic February 4, 2004

Fond memories of this one. This game was way ahead of its time. I think it came out around 1997, and plenty of people still play it as of late 2003 from what I hear. It had/has very good graphics, outstanding engine sounds, and an excellent physics model. These '60's Gran Prix F1 cars are very difficult to keep on the track. And rightly so, because like their real world counterparts, they have very skinny tires and no wings for downforce. A must have for racing enthusiasts.

This game must be experienced to understand, very simply it is the best.
