F1 2002 or Grand Prix 4

Just a quick question, which of the 2 in the subject (F1 2002 or Grand Prix 4/3) is the better of the two.

yep, F1C is by far the way to go.

Get F1 2k2 and F1C. There are some great mods already out, or in the works, for both. Sean "DJ" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bpes03$1n0chh$[email hidden]... > Just a quick question, which of the 2 in the subject (F1 2002 or GrandPrix

Depends on what you consider better. F1 2002 is generally considered to have the better driving physics, but many people have been very disappointed with the inaccurate and bumpy tracks. GP 4 is usually reckoned to have better tracks. So it is a question of which is more important to you, accurate physics or accurate tracks. Unfortunately you can't get both in one box. I would agree with the other posters though that F1 Challenge is your best bet if you can find it, not just for the physics or the mods but also because there are a lot of excellent community made tracks that you can download, including 2003 season updates of the F1 tracks that have some of the problems fixed.

It is quite immersive to be lifted off the blocks, have the laptop plugged in for startup, then be waved out of the garage by some fairly decent looking polygon crew members. Likewise, to come screaming down pitrow while 6 other teams are running out with tires, working on a car, or running back into their garage during a race is excellent. I also find the AI in GP4 better, so if you're looking for a good offline race, it's quite satisfying. The F1X series are great for modding and driving. Stephen

You know, I haven't seen GP4 in the store for AGES. Is it still even available? I might be able to come up with $10 or so for a look-see... The changing weather sounds interesting - even though I can't drive a racecar in the rain... :-( Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Member Screamers Racing League IICC League GPLRank -2.4 MoGPL rank +302.38 ChallengeRank +54.48 MoC +743.77 Hist. +82.82 MoH in progress N2k3 rank:in progress Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.
