Hi,

I just picked up a used copy of MGP2 at EB without the manual.
Is there anywhere online that I can download the manual?  
Should I use the F1 Racing Sim manual as a reference?
I would appreciate any info.  

Thank You,

Chris

Sorry, I can't help with the manual, but on a side note, I've always wanted
this title, in order to try out the historic 1950's F1 cars but was always
to cheep to buy it at full price.

Unfortunately it wasn't a big seller, and most places like CompUSA, Best Buy
and the like never offered it.

I saw it recently at a local GameSpot for $36 and was almost tempted but
seeing as this title is several years old now, and I've got F1 games like F1
2000 CS which I'm sure far surpass this titles modern F1 offerings.

But... For those of you who do have this title, I'd love a  little feedback
on the historic perspective of this game. Can you run all the modern F1
tracks but with 1950's style cars? Or are there a different set of F1 tracks
that are accurate to the 1950's period?

Do the cars handle differently than the modern ones, or is it simply the
same game, with new car skins that make the modern F1 cars appear to be
1950's style equipment?

Thanks in advance
Jay J

When I lost mine a buddy scanned his into a .pdf. I might have that
backed-up somewhere. I'll have a look.

You didn't miss much the 50's bit was very shoddy and tacked on feeling, the
F1 bit is very good and probably still holds up ok against new F1 sims (it
looks far better than GP3)

The '50's aspect of it was very cheesy.  You didn't miss much.  The
modern era part was pretty decent in it's day.

Slightly more detail:

The 30-40's mode offered four cars and one track that's reasonably long but
with no real awsome corners.  The cars handle WAY differently and are quite
hard to drive, but for a while I did have a lot of fun learning.  But only
the 1 track was a little poor, thought Spirit of Speed would be better (but
apparantly not.)
Book.
PS-It's available in Aust for AUS$10!!!  Convert that back to any other
currency and the postage stamp would cost more!!
