Grand Prix Legends |
|
You
can drive a Lotus Type 49 around some of the greatest racing tracks in the world
before they were destroyed with tame bends and chicanes against the likes of
Clark, Hill, Bramham, Gurney or modern day racers around the world on the internet. The graphics are superb and the vehicle dynamics very real, too real infact, as the cars with 400+ Bhp and skinny cross ply tyres are very difficult to drive (initially anyway). There is now a new add on to control the AI (artifical intelligence) drivers making them much more realistic. You can even have Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost racing!

Grand Prix Legends was released in 1998 and was way ahead of its time, only now are computers powerful enough to exploit all of the simulations (it is not really a game) features. A thriving internet community exists supporting GPL. People are producing new tracks which you can download, tweaking the original cars and tracks, producing utilities to help you get more out of the software. You can also upload your lap times and see how you rank in the world. (I am currently ranked about 1500 as of 15th March 2001)(Now ranked 1390, 5th April 2001) For further details on all things GPL visit the site of Eagle Woman who was one of the testers for the simulation. It has answers to nearly every question related to GPL and links to many sites where you can download the new tracks, car graphics, sounds utilities etc. Pay the site a visit and get hooked!!Tracks Available (not all of them) There are around 100 tracks available for download! Brands Hatch* (* means tracks downloaded from the internet) You can also alter the setting for each corner of the car not just at one end!
