Well I made two mistakes during the race, which was 11 laps. I ran wide at Parabolica and lost a little time through Ascari Variante. I ended up dropping to 16th and fighting back up to 10th.
It was also very interesting to see how the AI behave and actually defend and attack, and I love it. It's also nice to see the AI retiring from various issues (damage from a mistake or car failures).
As for GPxPatch, if the performance you speak of is what it was really like in 2001, then I'd love to have it! Also, I'd like to get ahold of the real skins from 2001 (the Marlboro Ferrari and Benson Hodges, for example), just to make it a bit more "immersive" I suppose.
Thanks for the props from everyone.
