Disadvantages: Not for those who like arcade physics in their games

Papyrus have long been hailed for being the ultimate simulation programmers. Why? Well, because Grand Prix Legends is the most accurate simulation there is about, at the moment, and it's nearly 3 years old! The idea of the game is to give you, the driver, the ultimate experience - to drive a 1969 grand prix car... which is before they had wings. The drivers used to skid cars round corners in high speed power slides with great skill and dexterity. ...

There are patches now available that give force feedback to the game, which helps, but it's still not like being there (like I'd know!). The graphics are also terribly outdated.
