In my opinion, GP500 is the best racing game out at the moment.  The
graphics are amazing, the sound is awesome, its tricky, and the  opposition
is actaully hard to beat.    Plus you get a free  t shirt with the game,
which is cool hehe.

My first impressions was i didnt want to get this game, i was  choosing
between gp500 and official formula 1 racing(i think thats what its called).
My best friend persuaded me to choose gp500, im glad i did.  The tracks are
extremely well done.  They have like a flyby of the ttracks if you want to
see what your dealing with.  At first i ofund it impossible and was kicking
myself for choosing it.  Its good that they show the brake icon and the
slide icon at the top of the screen, so you know how hard to brake.  I
completed my first championship yseterday and I scored 23 points.  It took
me until the 6th last race to score a point.  I came 16th in Johor(the
second race) thinking i scored a point thanx to my friend telling me the
first 16 score points.  But i didnt, and i nearly killed him.  In Phillip
Island I got pole by 1 second, nearly smashed the lap record, and lead every
lap of the race until my dad came and was talking to me, so i lost my
concentration on the  last lap and crashed, but i still came second.  What i
thought was fantastic is as you go through the final hairpin at phillip
island when your leading, the crowd claps and cheers you on.  That season
was on 65% opposition strength.  Ive moved it up to 80% now for a bigger
challenge and im already doing better.  I came last at suzuka, came 6th in
johor after qualifying 5th, and i won at jerez after getting pole, so im 8th
in the championship and going strong.

Get this game, its a ripper

Well said, I thought I was ***ed to GPL until I got GP500, and I don't
even know anything about motorcycling. But you don't get the Tee Shirt in
the UK.

I'm in exactly the same boat as Stephen.  GPL was the only sim for me - but
now I am having a blast with GP500 - and I've barely even been on a bike.
Next up - my new MID bike controller and DJFil's GP500 league.  Should be a
blast!

Oh, and BTW - If you live in the 'States and order GP500 from the UK you
don't get a Tee Shirt either <g>.
