    I'd go for historic, a GPL2, but covering more years would be what i'd like to see, the modern era has been done to death at this stage.

    there are some moves to develop a sim that would cover the old days again ... but not by papyrus, gpl despite still being popular more than 4 years after release, didn't sell enough.

    West Racing - Racing Legends looks interesting, dunno if it will ever see the light of day tho.

    Which category would Gran Tourismo fall into?

    Only game I can think of even remotly like it on the PC was...dammit...it was a GT game..dammit I cant think of the name but it had the upgrading elements.

    Somethink that involved upgrading and stuff.
    I *think* the next NFS has soem elements liek this.

    On the poll...
    historic prolly. bring back the 6 wheel F1 car!
    Somethink with the very first turbos...allowing for unpredictability.

    GPL was a major flop for Papy.The reason is players were crap at it and didnt give it time to learn to drive at a half decent level.Also the default setups for the cars were undrivable.Version 1.202 addressed these setups with new comfortable setups.
    It took me literally months do get five average laps in a row without spinning out.I almost gave up a few times too until the patch came outas i was and am useless at creating setups.
    Gregor Huttu,[worlds fastest GPL racer and well up there with Nascar 2002] also said the same, it took him months also but years to get where he is.

    Yeah and i think with the hugh american market they will only brng out more nascar sh1te. The guys them selfs arent big fans of nascar and would love to do the 70`s GPL kinda thing and it may yet happen, but right now they have to look to whats paying their wages and its bloody nascar.

    Lets see them do a game where you turn right all the time!
