3/27/03 - Geez, I need to update this page... NASCAR 2003 is out, NASCAR Legends has faded, etc.

Simulations:

Grand Prix Legends (GPL) from Papyrus - Some say this is *the* Gran Prix program. It simulates the 1967 season, before fat slicks and wings.
NASCAR 2002 - from Papyrus
NASCAR Legends - Papyrus - Stock car racing from early 1970's. There doesn't seem to be a huge online following for this yet, but it's still a cool game.
Grand Prix 4 from Microprose
F1 2002 - from EA Sports

Coming Soon(maybe?):
Racing Legends - West Racing - If you buy into the hype, it will be the greatest sim ever. Their previous effort, World Sports Cars, was shelved after negotiations with their parent company failed. The sim community awaits...

Sites for downloads(various sims):

The Pits - many utilities to improve your GPL (and other sims) racing experience.

The Fast Lane - Another great sim-racing site.

Eagle Woman - Alison Hine is one of the more highly respected people for creating setups in GPL.

BlackHole Motorsports - Settings, hotlaps, guides & utilities.

Newsgroup: rec.autos.simulators - Discussions with sim racing enthusiasts from all over the world.

Any other sites you suggest? Let me know.
