Yeah, making a game now-days, is very expensive, and as i heard, Geoff Grammond doens't have the budget. The F1 licence costs a lot of $$$, and not to menchine the money for the production of the game, so i really doubt that he is going to do another grand prix game

We can get one made guys if we get a big petition signed, maybe get permission for a corporation to make it or the likes of Paolo and Kizz e.t.c. getting together and helping a games company.
cheers

You have to pay to sign that petition? 
Anyway, if you really are going to make it, I have some suggestions about GP5:
safety car
formation lap
new qualifying format, V8 engines and other rule changes
unique steering wheels for every team
different tyre textures (white line in soft dry tires like year 2007)
PROPER ONLINE PLAY (very important!)
grid girls
blue, white, black and red flags
marshalls waving flags behinds walls, not alongside track
new damage model
cleaning of the track after a bad crash
not all problems and damage couldn't be fixed in the pits, car could just drive to the pitbox and retire
podium ceremony
I know making games is really hard work and takes a lot of time, but if you someday manage to make it...I will you a BIG thanks already. I think we really have to get touch with Geoff because he has created 4 GP games already and has a good base to develop the series further. Damn he seems to be disappered from this world.

All of those things are within the relams of possibility, if any company were willing to actually spendt he time and committment to research, to churn out a decent sim. Sadly, I'm more likely to win the lottery.
P.S. If by some chance I DO win a substantial amount on the lottery, I'll commission an F1 sim to be built lol

A typical low-budget commerical quality computer game costs around $1 million and takes two years to create. Getting an F1 license is a practical impossibility.
I'm the owner a somewhat experienced games company called Quasit-Rushyo Games. We're capable of writing games such as the one you propose as capably as any other games development studio. I also co-exec a company called Exterminate Studio which is looking at developing a retail commerical video game in the future.
I don't want to dampen your spirits but every year there is someone who goes around the web posting that they've got plans to develop an F1 game and then gives up. The primary reason is most of them don't even know any programmers, a big problem. Secondarily, they don't realise its impossible to get the FIA license. An exclusive contract has been signed and getting the game published by that company would be almost impossible (they have in-house development teams that they would much rather trust with such a project). Thirdly, almost all have no DirectX experience or rely on the skills of one DirectX programmer to see the project through. This, whilst not fundamentally bad, leads to very long development times. The longer the development time and the less people are doing, the more chance of a breakup.
There are exceptions. Some just hijack other people's code, make up false release dates and are, in fact, a bunch of children... *cough*GPRM/F1CM*cough*.
Others show great prototypes, then real life gets in the way. It has a habit of doing that.
But the primary reason is money. If you want to hire staff, you need hundreds of thousands. If you want to buy an engine to do it with minimal unpaid staff, you need hundreds of thousands. If you want to do it with minimal unpaid staff over a long period, you need a miracle because people have lives to worry about.
If you really want to see your dream game developed there's only one way to do it: Go to university, get a games programming degree and start your own business.

i pretty much bet they will work on the carshapes etc in zmodeler and once they get those done they will be stuck cos of no gfx engine.
thats if they even get that far.
