I have had RC2K for 3 weeks now and whilst I think it is a good game I am
already starting to tire of it and find myself drifting back to Gpl. Sort of
speaks for itself really. I am more than ready for something new but none of
the latest releases comes within a bulls roar of Gpl.

Are you kidding? Tell me, if GPL had simillar graphics to World Grand
Prix on the Sega Master System, would you be happy?

We've already seen one new track added. Anybody know if there are any
others in site?

Well your wrong. There have been some great simulators this past year,
including SCGT, N3, SBK and GP500!

Not unless there's some DRASTIC improvement in the way racing
simulators are developed, no.

... to be a sequel to the current GPL. <g>

You're not reading enough of the messages on this group then!

Indy Car Legends!!!  I swear it...if Papy makes a 50s or 60s Indy car sim GPL
will take a backseat to it.  However I think i would still play GPL...so it
wouldnt totally un-hypnotize me.

Yes, please!

Well, you mentioned the one thing that would make me give
up GPL, well, it would at least reduce the time spent with
GPL quite a bit...

A full field of 60's sports cars and saloons for SCGT.  The Lotus Cortina
was an excellent start.  however, I must admit I am not as hypnotized as
others in this newsgroup with GPL.  As an engineer, I can appreciate the
fabulous model, and I keep coming back for the driving, but without
adequate time to invest, I keep slipping back in my days off and never
approach the top.  SCGT provides a decent physics model (i.e. good enough
for the suspension of disbelief) and a full field of 60s cars would
provide the "atmosphere" to make me race it for many weeks.

For me to give up GPL...it took a sever bout of realism... I realised
that I didn't enjoy playing it.  So I started playing with TOCA2 and
RC2K....

The real question it...what will it take to make me give up RC2K and
TOCA 2....

Before people say you've got to play it for hours...I don't want to...

I've driven FF1600 at Castle Combe, UK...and if I do say so myself - put
myself on row 3 of a 35 car line up...so I'm clearly not just a ***
driver....

It's just that GPL doesn't do it for me....

internet multiplayer and real good physics. most of the sim-titles in
the last year lacked at least one. and so will GP3. don't get me wrong:
I loved GP2, but I wanted to drive with 20 other drivers on an internet
server. no internet multiplayer no go.

        The NASCAR tracks have been in testing for quite some time.  I also
hear that ICR2 and maybe others have been tested as well.  Soon we'll
have a bunch of added tracks for GPL :)

Don't know, I can't play GPL. I generally don't buy a game unless I can try
the demo, and the OpenGL patch won't work in the demo. The game was
unplayable in software version and looked terrible. My loss I guess. Please
tell me it's not one of those games that simply makes everything slippery in
lieu of a good physics engine.

I have no idea what 'lieu' means but I'm going to tell you that you certainly
are missing a hell of a sim and I'm not kiddin'! Get yourself a (by now cheap)
Voodoo2-card (because for GPL this is simply better than any other non
glide-compatible 3D card) and start experiencing how real racing might feel. Be
warned however: It'll wreck your social life.

says...

The problem is when you boot up a new racing game, as soon as you start
driving round, you start thinking "Oh no! I'm wasting good GPL time
playing this!".

Consequently you have to quit out and load GPL.
