I think there was fighting around there. There was definitely fighting at Malmady at the old Spa, glad they didn't totally wreck that.

The Monaco screnshots look pretty good to me, cant wait to drive it.
I hope they've done some work on the AI as I only really race offline these days.

Sir Jackie Stewart was commentating on first practice for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Friday and he got talking about the 'Ring. He was asked by David Croft if driving the ring was different from driving normal tracks where you could learn the tracks fairly easily and he said it was no different, He still remembers every corner and every gradiant change of it!
Back on topic(sort of) It's Spa I am looking forward to driving!

I heard that and it's actually what brought the track to the forefront of my mind. My favourite bit was Sir Jackie's comment that if anyone gets out of an F1 car and admits to enjoying a GP at the Ring that they've obviously not been trying hard enough.

Spa 67 is one of my all time favourite tracks so i'm looking forward to an ISI version. I love modern day sports cars but much prefer older tracks. One of the great things about sim racing is that i can run both. yep

Apparently living a continuous, near-death experience can focus the mind and leave quite a permanent imprint on one's long-term memory! biggrin

I drive the 'Ring a lot in sims (first discovered it and became addicted to it in GPL and every sim since), even though it has a lot more corners than the typical track, once you run it enough you get to know each and every corner and just when to push and brake, and it becomes just a fun blast that you can actually be consistent at.

Hats off to Sir Jackie Stewart and the other legendary drivers of the time who had extra incentive and risk driving there of course especially in the rain and before the safety features, but it is good to see that he is so matter of fact about it even now, one of the reasons he is one of my favorites.

Looks like a lot of fun! I hope they are trying to make an updated version of GPL.
