Disappointed, I realized that the game did not come in a PC-version,
and I do not have PS2 (nor do I have time to buy, It will only steal
all my spare time).
Does anybody know about a similar game for PC?
The point for me is that the game should contain the buying and
selling of cars, building, tuning and winning money to buy better
cars.
The racing itself is not that important.

As long as the racing is not important, you could try Sega GT, which is
Sega's version of GT.

Sportscar GT has a certain money/career element in it.

The frame rates tap out rather quickly (much like GPL does) and upgrading
hardware doesn't net any improvement with SCGT.
SCGT-2 would be a welcome addition :)
So would Viper-2.

As a few others said, "Sports Car GT" has that.
There's one called Grand Prix Manager that has no racing at all just team
managing and strategy. More full of bugs then an ant farm. I think there's
one called F1 Manager too.

If this wierd link doesn't work, go to:
http://www.theunderdogs.org
And look for Street Rod 2. You start out with $1200 and a newspaper. Buy a
car, fix it, race it, win money, buy better parts, etc.. The game's
abandonware now (free download.)

On a similar topic, is there a "race engineer" game anywhere?
I'm thinking of a sim where you put yourself in the place of
the driver's race engineer (eg: Jock Clear for Jacques Villeneuve)
and have to decide such things as race strategy, pit stops,
how to fix the understeer the driver complains of, when to go
out on the track in qualifying. Whether to change tyres
if the track gets wetter or dryer. Whether to pit early if
the driver gets stuck behind other traffic. To change pit
stop strategy if your driver has to pit unexpectedly for
damage. Things like that.
Perhaps not so much for F1 racing, but CART or INDY racing
would have you call the driver into the pits at a moments
notice (or not) if a full course yellow comes out... etc...
Not that I know of. You might try searching:
http://www.tucows.com
http://cnet.com
Who knows what it might turn up?
