Still the best June 13, 2002
Best racing simulation out there. Very hard to learn so not for the causal nintedo crowd who think they can race Michael Schumacher after a couple of laps. Like in real life the cars are very difficult to handle and the first several laps are usually spend spinning out. Once you get the hang of it it's fantastic and the online community is the best around. Despite the game being old there is yet to be one that has proven to be as accurate and as long lasting as GPL!
Grand Prix Legends, totally real! May 8, 2002

I got this game in February and I've been working hard on it. It proves how much better that the drivers in 1967 were compared to todays F1 drivers. I can't quite understand why Cooper and Honda wouldn't let them use their cars on the game, and why did they leave out Lemans. Well rookies, prepare for a real hard experience. The Eagle Westlake rocks!!
Grand Prix Legends Rocks March 3, 2002
I got this game yesterday and so far I have loved it. This game is very real. One time I was racing at Monte Carlo and for some reason my engine started smoking, that also happens in real life. I would recommend starting at Spa-Francorchamps. Trust me, If you hurry up you might find one used on this web-site. This game is awesome, I would recommend it to any racing game fanatic.

It is very realistic...
it is very hard...
it is very rewarding!All of the addons have brought this game up to date making it one of the slickest looking racing games you can get. Add in WinVROC for online racing and there's nothing like it. There's tons of leagues out there, so you can actually race a season, with points and driver standings and all. Start with the trainers (novice cars) as they're much more forgiving. Search the net for tons of hints on driving and controlling the cars. There's also a hack out there that will let you run the races in the novice (F3) or advanced (F2) cars as well as the Grand Prix (F1) cars. The F1s had around 400hp (which is why you can spin the wheels at high rpms even in the higher gears). I think the F2s are around 250 and the F3s around 180. Racing with the F3s will still let you learn a good racing line and the fastest way around the track, but with more time to react and less chance of breaking the wheels free from excessive power. As far as Jackie Stewart saying it was too hard and not enough grip; I've read that the default setups are probably all set with the cars two low to the ground. When going around a hard corner the suspension can suddenly bottom out against the stops and cause a spinout. There's lots you can do to the setups to rectify this. Also, when racing in a real car you get the "seat of the pants" feeling that you can't (yet!) get in a simulation. That can make a big difference.
 It's good, but too hard. November 6, 2001

First of all I want to say that GPL is still arguably the best racing sim out there. Graphics are great, but the handling........ yes it is certainly challlenging, but there's no doubt that the physics havebeen exagerated. Jackie Stewart has played GPL and is on record as saying that in real life ,the cars had more grip on the track. Yup, Jackie Stewart. Who better to judge the game? So yes, you can do some gratifying powerslides, but there is no denying that GPL is not as realistic as it thinks it is. Definitely worth buying though, as long as you're prepared for some frustration
