Great for F1 fans but frustrating for others September 18, 2007
This game is fantastic for Formula One fans. br /br /F1 (esp. in the USA) is fairly "ignored" and therefore, it's small fans base is generally even MORE fanatic. br /br /Bring to these fans an F1 simulator that is well rounded in history and in difficulty and they will rejoyce in it's near "unplayable" state! We love F1 and we know how difficult it is (and especially, WAS) to drive a car that only a few drivers in the world could drive the way it was meant to be driven. F1 is not meant for weekend warriors driving as fast as possible around a wide track. It's much more than that . . . and proves it in Grand Prix Legends.br /br /If you don't know who Jim Clark, Chris Amon or Jochen Rindt is . . . this game will probably be frustrating.br /br /PS: When you play for the first time, you will spin and crash. This will lead to an obsession that could last a lifetime.

Got this in Feb 2001, and I still regularly spend time on the track with this one... what more can I say?... :-). Actively participate in 3 online leagues which race every week.br /br /And, yes of course my wife hates it... do you even need to ask? ... ;-)

This is the grand daddy of all online racing games. Modelled on the 1967 Grand Prix racing season it gives you a fantastic total racing experience of a time when drivers were racers first and foremost.br /br /There is a thriving online community with many racing leagues comprising drivers from all over the world. Although it's great out of the box you'll want to update to give better car sounds, graphics and some of the literally hundreds of tracks available for free on the internet. br /br /Two warnings:br /1. It's realistic and therefore intially hard to drive even one lap.br /2. It's totally addictive and may suck you in to a world of brake bias, 4 wheel drifts and seeing whether it really is possible to take the Masta kink at Spa without lifting off the throttle.br /br /Just fabulous

Update the game with patches, mods, and tracks and you will update your game to 2004 graphical standard.... br /It is not a game, it is a virtual racing. Superb realistic car physics. I got it for only UK$7 from UK including delivery to Australia. br /br /Four wheel drifting, driving like rally cars. The game community is still hot even now. 7 years since release, can you believe this? To keep the people hot for 7 years!!!

If you are looking for a REAL racing sim, there is no other. If you are looking for a driving game look elsewhere. This game is older then dirt, but no one has touched it for realism and accuracy yet. Frustrating, tiring, hard, and with a very steep learning curve GPL is truly in a class by itself. But with a huge online community, several HUNDERED add on tracks, two very good mods, lots of online races, and fierce competition those seeking a real racing experience would do well to pick up a copy, download the all-in-one patch, the new graphics and carsets, GEM+ and Igor, and go racing.
