Personally, I'm interested in which machine is a better representation of an actual F1.

Surely the FGT, I would be money on that. Just from watching the F1 cars onboard cameras on TV for many years.

But in reality, you would have to get Martin Brundle or Jenson Button to play the game to get a proper verifiable answer.

Now could someone tell me if there were more than two models, 001 and 002, in GT3 PAL-version? This is gettinq confusing :confused:

Polyphony001 on 90-luvun vapaasti hengittävä F1-auto, kun Polyphony002 80-luvun turbo-cart auto.

Polyphony001 is 90's NA F1 car but 002 like 80's Cart car with turbo.

PAL - had no specific F1-cars :(
 
Kiitoksia. :) - Thank you. :)

Someone said earlier that they are modelled after the '88 McLaren and the '94 Williams. I don't know about the McLaren thing, but it really looks much alike. The 001 looks so much like the Williams that it probably is true.
 
the pd is alright, but i liked the 94 and 90 better in gt3 better. my biggest complaint is the lack of variety in gt4. the different color schemes is cool, but different models and the progression of years in f1 would have been cool. also the sound of the 86 was sweet in gt3.
 
The P1's and P2's of GT3 were much more fun to drive. Not the FGT nor the GT3 F1's are realistic. If they were it would take about a month before you could run the car a decent lap without spinning. Altough it would been more of a challenge.
 
I don't have the specifics to hand, but I am sure someone can confirm or correct but are we not forgetting something ?

F1 cars change over the years, today's cars are not necessarily fastest or grippiest. Over the years their specs have changed, no turbo, no ground effects, no slick tyres, reduce wings, higher ride heights etc etc. I would not expect a 2005 F1 car to handle as well as quite a few of the older F1 cars.

Anyone remember Rosbergs record lap at Silverstone that never got beaten ? the Mansell era ground effects/active suspension etc ? Senna's last turbo car ? etc, etc.

The early-mid 90's F1 car were the fastest, grippiest and most dangerous, with a lot of computer control, 2-way computer com, on the fly adjustments from pit via radio and crazy downforce trickery... today's F1 cars are far more 'basic', but the mechanical part has of course advanced since then..

If you keep that in mind it sounds perfectly reasonable that the 094 should be the fastest, and "on rails". 1994 was right at the height of the F1 tech advancement. After Senna's death, severe regulations were imposed to slow down cars, make F1 safer and promote competition between drivers as opposed to the computers in the pit lane...
 
Actually, given slicks and just a little bit more downforce, today's F1 cars would utterly destroy the old ones. As it is, they're almost as fast and in some instances... faster.

Materials development, suspension design and engine design just keep making cars faster, and better.
