OT: F1 Simulator Games

What's the best F1 game (simulation NOT arcade) nowadays?

I have Grand Prix 4, love it, but it's sooo out of date...

What do you guys play?

Best place to ask that question is rec.autos.simulators. I think a lot
of them play rfactor but I don't know if it has a setup for modern F1
cars - it is a very modern simulator by all accounts with a good physics
engine. I think my next purchase will either be rfactor for the 1979 F1
mod, or GTR2. I don't think there's a good modern simulator in the Grand
Prix 4 style that has all the current tracks and drivers exactly like
being at the race, but rfactor being relatively open, you'll probably be
able to find the mods you need by asking in r.a.s. to get the car models
and then just change the driver names yourself. Looking at the rfactor
website, I see it comes with a 2006 BMW Sauber model but no other modern
F1 cars listed.
