I don't know what people are fussing about?????
When all the gp series was released, they were all out of date anyway, when the first one F1GP was released back in 1992 for PC and Commodore Amiga, it was the 1991 season, GP2 was relieced in 1996 and it was the 1994 season, GP3 was relieced in 2000 and got the 1998 season. You can still get all the updates on the internet.
I still think the GP series is the best F1 games yet. I don't think no one can beat them for the PC.
But... what you cant do on the playstation 2 is update! If you want the latest season you have to buy the compleate game.
