I suddenly felt like trying a new racing sim after I dusted off my copy of Sports Car GT.

It should be in the Formula 1 genre and the main requirement is for it to be REALISTIC.

I don't want to be able to hit a wall with 30mph without wrecking the front or just get bounced a bit if wheels touch at 200mph.
I want to be punished for making an error.

I suppose this matches perfectly GPL, but those old cars doesn't make me tick.
So far I'm leaning towards something I found called "F1 Challenge '99-'02", but knowing the quality of some reviews, what they mean when they say "realistic" is not neccesarily what I understand with the word.
Anyone know something about this one or something that would be a better choice?

F1C 99-02 is plenty realistic and fun to boot.

EA's F1 series appears to be the only game in town. Very good physics engine, graphics, sounds, etc. Crammond's latest effort was a joke.

Don't dis the Crammond, Funked. Stunt Car Racer 2 is coming.

F1C is pretty cool, definately the best of the EA F1 sims, and you can never go wrong with GPL.

Gotta disagree about Crammond's latest offering, I used to play it on a 1 GHZ with a 64mb Radion and was somewhat dissapointed. It's a totally new game with an XP2600 and a Radion 9600pro under the hood. Of course there's always GPL, Still hard to beat even after all these years.

Hi Snefens,

Grand Prix Legends with updates and you will race with Clark at 1967 Monza, Ring etc.

Pure fun!
