Is this AI against you? Then you are lucky cause GPL AI does not respect player, especially when AI is after you it will cause accident like newbs usually does.
Still looks good after all these years, the sense of speed and inertia is fantastic due to the cockpit bumping and rolling independently of the wheelbase, something that open wheel games just haven't managed since with the cars feeling 'stuck' to the track. Who needs animated trees and 3D crowds when you have this? Kicks arse!
I recently started playing GPL again and it's simply amazing how a 13 year old game looks as good as newer games with all the texture updates people have made. It's simply amazing going through the tunnel at Monaco and actually seeing 3d light bulbs instead of a flat bulb textured on the wall with a light source at each bulb to simulate it omitting light.
@currentresident41061 there are options in the wheel setup so try re-configuring between direct input and generic and then plug the wheel in to calibrate once you are in the game?
To someone weaned on Gran Turismo, this probably looks crap, but no driving game that I've ever played sounds as good or is as immersive to play.
Best driving game ever? I think so. Hope we see its like again, though I'm not optimistic given that there isn't a hint of neon/AWD/lairy paint anywhere, given that the cars are really hard to drive and given that you can't personalise them or select music.
@omamder5 Actually its quite intunitive with a keyboard but it takes a few tweaks & practice .I too would prefer an xbox controller even over a steering wheel ..but if i had to use a keyboard forever i'd still love the game and play it as much
Awesome!! Love the '60s sound, very realistic!! Every era of F1 has its own charismatic sounds...
These cars were incredibly dangerous to drive. The recent crashes we've seen by guys like Kubica and Webber would have been fatal even in the early '90s.
used to play this game all the time , loved it .. used to be quite good too Rick Prydden was the nick name back then .. masta kink flat was easy btw ;)
this is the richard burns rally of tarmac sims, old but still amazing. to be fair, RBR is still the best ever by far though

do you use a racing wheel or joystick?
currentresident41061 11 months ago
@currentresident41061 a joystick, although I accept that a wheel would be much better.....

Graphics on this look awesome for 2002 when this game came out, way ahead of it's time graphically.

@Andyc18 it was 1998. But I think there's a graphical update mod in the video.

So hard to keep the car on the track without modern aerodynamics. No wonder so many legends got killed.
