GP2 is a great game but there are still few minor flaws. For one the crash physics can be much improved. when cars collide with the wall or other cars they seem to bounce off of them too much. F1 cars usually shatter on impact with other object sending parts flying every where but in this sim the cars seems to just bounce off and go air born with the car remaining intact even after an 150mph head on collision with another car. Hope future upgrades will fix the crash physics allowing some spetacular crashes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ?????? What do you mean, "intact" ? I've seen several cars break in two parts, wheels and wings being pulled off..... You have to look more carefully and crash more heavilly I guess..... :-) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The most civilized civilizations are as close to barba- rism as polished iron is to rust. Rivarol =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I don't mean completely intact but how real is it to smash head on into the wall at 150 and only lose the nose section of the car and maybe one of the wheel. > >GP2 is a great game but there are still few minor flaws.

The game 'should' have REALISTIC, ARCADE and NO DAMAGE options I guess, but for now, for an added element of realism, why not next time you crash at 150mph, smash your head on the wall and use a lighter to set fire to your cardi.
