Yes the trees are flat as are the people but try this at Monza, drive slowly
down the front straight and point toward the grandstands or use the view left
key as you drive by, look at the beams in the roof of the stands...
detail....   Anyway if you play a replay for someone the first thing most will
say is, wow what cool graphics, espescially the cars! The bigger issue is how
GPL drives, it is tough but very rewarding when you get it down. Also consider
this will be the engine for Nascar2000 so it's like practice for that. Buy it.
