Hey Richard, I wouldnt advise trying to run this Sim in a Windows
enviroment,
The Suck ass engine Micropose designed barely runs in dos on the fastest
computer!!
Windows will only slow GP2 down even more, and in that case you can flip
through
a F1 magazine faster than this game runs!!

Work ok under NT 3.51 (at work) but only in VGA mode :(
SVGA Problwm caused (I think) by a Matrox with an old bios but haven't
got round to upgrading it yet.
