So this is basicly a reworked HX that runs on GTR?

The P&G mod runs on GTR2, so you get variable weather that you don't get in rF or the original GTL. otherwise I'm not sure what advantage it has over rF / HistorX.

I think it was created in parallel to the rF HistorX mod, both using GTL as a base.

info here: http://www.gtlw.co.uk/
When GT Legends was announced in 2005, Simbin/Blimey's decision to base the sim on the FIA Historic racing championship threw many people, as other sim-racing games had been based on historical seasons... Realistically, there was no way Simbin/Blimey could have reproduced a 60s or 70s championship. Doing so would involve getting licenses from each driver, each team, each manufacturer, each track and for each advert, with all the imaginable problems. Another issue was probably tracks, producing accurate tracks as they were 40 years ago is a nightmare. But although Simbin's choice of the FIA Historic series was very clever, giving a far wider range of cars than any championship from the 60s or 70s, it does leave a gap for someone to fill... ...and that's where we at GTLW get in, with the Power&Glory project.

Plus it has a few different cars that aren't in the Historix mod...
