A look at a possible McLaren car for 2007 - by AD

omg i wasted so much of my youth playing GP2, just seeing some screenshots has brought back so many memories!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah best ever track was on GP2 though I forget its name but it was some ultra mountainous road circuit with a chicane that's basically a 10x vertically exxaegrated Eau Rouge and a main straight longer than anything else. It was basically impossible to go round the track in anger as you would fly off from berms and bumps, awesome stuff I would reinstall GP2 just to play that one single track :D

i remember this one track i played it was awsome, i played it for hours and hours and hours, i cant even remember the name

Some of my custom cars from WAAAAAY back in the day I think these were 2000, some of my first eiditing work. I've come quite far since then lol

Heh they look awesome, I made my first helmet for GP2 and it was sucky but my GP4 one kicks ass


Btw does anyone know how to fix the hyperspeed problem under XP where the game speeds up a lot then slows down to normal then speeds up again ? Using VDM and no-cd patch.

Thought I'd post in this thread since it is reminding me of the days of GP2. I can remember loading this game up and blasting round Silverstone for the first time and almost getting lost. I still think the Pacific GP circuit was one of the weirdest and craziest tracks I've ever driven.

I liked the TI curcuit.

Aida-TI was one of the best to watch, and was OK to drive. One of the ones I was best at, it suited by oversteering style.

P.S. Marc, those pics I posted from 2000 are from a primitive incarnation of F400!

I'm currently preparing a GP2 game if anyone would be interested in it.

Basically you'd run a team from a 100 Million budget , choose your favourite livery (or send your own), pick your engine, two race drivers, a test driver and spend a bit of money to give you reliability.

Then off we'd race, I'd take screenies and post them up with a story of the race and we'd see whom came out top.

If more than 14 people wanted teams, I'd do a knockout pre-qualifying system which pops the top 10 teams from the previous race straight through and then a qualifying session of aggregate race drivers times to give the other 4 teams to progress through.

Would anyone be interested in that?

Si, you are decribing almost an identical game which I run for GP4 Mentioned briefly above, actually, it's called Formula 400 and currently has 13 managers taking part. If your own game doesn't get the numbers, you're welcome to join but best of luck!

Thanks! I did post a topic at the GP2.de forum but the forum never works for me so I hope they'll be a few people willing to play

Go back to F1Nascar please mate

anyone interested in my remeniscence when I see those screenshots? Well anyway. Back in 1997 (I was 11) I wanted to play GP2, but I couldn't - my pc was too weak (386, 4mhz, 8mb ram). I got F1GP1 and played it for hours, but I wanted GP2. So I always enjoyed playing it when I got the chance somewhere else. One weekend my sister promised to get me the game and her friend would install it for me. They did and with it they brought a new computer with 144mhz which was just enough to play, not as smooth and one might wish, but it worked and that was most important.

Had great fun driving it for years and in 1999 it brought me into modding, although I didn't release anything till 2000.

One story of my life and how I got my GP2
