Codemasters made the well-received Toca/Pro Race Driver simulation games. Overall, I didn't like the games as much as Gran Turismo, but there was a lot to love about them. The games had a ton more personality and gave you a better sense of being a racer.
I liked the last F1 game that Sony made, but thought there was a lot that could be improved. For example, the difficulty curve from easy to medium was ridiculously steep.
Codemasters is great at making racing games. They have a lot of respect from me. I really think this is the most fitting developer for the F1 license and I'll definitely be keeping a heads up for the next title.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
