It's been a looong time since we saw a F1 game for the PCs! Being a big fan of this particular race type myself I get more and more disappointed every year to see new releases of F1 games for ALL the other platforms except for the PC! There are many developers who could support such a game (i.e codemasters who have done an excellent job with Colin McRae and the TOCA series...). Instead of that we see a new version of NFS every year ,which gets worse every time!! HAVE MERCY!!

Yeah I've kinda wondered where they went also, I still have to resort to GP4 for my F1 fix. Maybe Sony or something got the exclusive rights to the license or something, or maybe they just think that PC audience is more interested in WoW etc. There aren't many other racing games on PC either, nothing comparable to GT or Forza anyway.

ever since paryrus dropped out of the game, the pc racing sim segment hasn't been the same.  i'm extremely thankful that a company like simbin exists, otherwise we'd have absolutely nothing.  let's hope simbin picks up the f1 license... or even irl or champ car.

I loved Grand Prix 2. Gamespot ranked it the 5th highest PC game of all time. I agree with the topic; it's sad there are not more F1 or CART/Indy Car racing games. Perhaps the buiness plan just isn't profitable.
