Wait, no... That would be CART.

I'll never watch another GP until it's been radically restructured.
There's no good reason for every team to have to develop their own
chassis, for example.

And why would Ubisoft do that when they have their own publishing
house? Maybe you are thinking of the distributor for your area?

The fact is Ubi Soft was in fullk control of this release and they are
solely responsible for not releasing the promised patch. My guess is
that the AI was so bad that they couldn't fix it without spending big
bucks so they said***it, and screwed us also.

Indeed, it is for this (and many other reasons) that UbiSoft is NOT pursuing
the F1 License. Because they are not pursuing the license, they are
subsequently forbidden from using the F1 name or general likeness.
This is why the previews show cars that look more like a cross between IRL
and CART cars. They cannot accurately model the cars without violating
copyrights.
However, not using the license now opens up the game much more. The FIA
licensing is a NIGHTMARE to deal with on every conceivable level, and as
such... they are losing game publishers who are willing to pay for the
license. EA is dropping FIA license because it is too limiting and the FIA
are on glue, UbiSoft dropped FIA license because of the same reasons. Pretty
much any publisher who pursues the FIA license in current negotiating
environments would be complete fools.
Maybe when the FIA (FOA to be exact) wakes up and realizes that they have
been acting like that crazy aunt who hides in the ba***t and makes funny
noises at night when you least expect it... then maybe they'll find game
publishers who are willing to spend money to deal with them.
I say "Bravo Ubi... you show 'em!"
And hence... EA has followed suit and seen the light it seems.
Ubi made a gutsy (and correct imho) call. I'd refrain from criticizing the
call if I were you chaps. They are doing it for YOU... and depending upon
YOU to modify it later. Isn't that what y'all have been asking for over the
years in here?
My 2 cents worth.

Iain don't try and confuse us by introducing reason into a discussion.
If we want to shoot down a product before we've even seen a demo, then
by-golly that's our perogitive!!
Now then...if you REALLY want to help, try and find some way to slow down
all those DANG YELLOW CORVETTES in the LeMans Mods...Everywhere I go it's
Corvette city...

OK, I stand corrected, Ubi is not responsible. They could have made a
nice post here telling people that. I will give the new game
consideration then if what you say is true.
They already did that with MGPRS. I didn't see tons of support for it.
Although it did get everything it needed to make it an authetic F1 sim
from 3rd parties. I like it for it's time.
