texto interessante sobre o comeco dos simuladores de corrida. conta a historia da papyrus, vale a pena ver a parte do gpl...

Kaemmer (piloto e criador de varios jogos) himself said at the time that,

"Driving a 1967 GP car is more difficult than driving just about anything else, and the simulation is more difficult than driving a real car...many people think that it feels like driving on ice."

"...If you can do well in GPL or NR2003, you know how to drive a car at the limit."

eu sempre achei gpl mais dificil que carro de verdade, não é de hoje
