To those who has GP2, please answer the following 10 questions for the sake of those who haven't
got a chance to play yet.
1. Can the car go flying very easily?
2. Can you hear the noise of your competitors' engines?
3. How does the AI perform.... intelligently?
4. How realistic is the pit stop?
5. What driving aids are available?
6. Is the physics of the car vividly modeled? (e.g. runs slower with full tank of fuel)
7. Is the spectacular crash similar to ICR2 or better?
8. How thick is the manual and does it include car setup info?
9. Is the performance analysis useful?
10. Overall rating of GP2 as compared to ICR2?
    - which one is more exciting?
    - which one has better car physics?

Thank you in advance. I hope to play GP2 soon. GP2 is not in Canada yet. I have checked Radio
Shack(will be available on July 30) and Minds Computer(don't know yet). Canadians, do you know
where to get it?

No. A MAJOR drawback!

No comment. Haven't raced that much yet. They _seem_ intelligent ...

Don't know.

All the same that GP1 had. But real racers don't use 'em! :-)

Actually, haven't noticed MUCH difference in car handling
between high and low fuel load. Realistic?

Better.

About 100+ pages. And yes, it covers setup info.

Don't know yet. _Seems_ useful ...

In general, I'd say they're both exciting when racing. I'm
just sick if ICR2's bug parade.

I believe both are pretty accurate in their own field.

Heres a poser for all you technical folks out there - when running
GP2, the access light on my floppy drive stays on continiously. This
continues until a reboot. Also am I right in assuming that there is no
facility of a wet race now? I can't find any settings.

Thanks in advance,

Different tones as well

They seem to keep out of your way if you mess up and sweve to stop you
overtaking.

Same as gp1 with refuelling and limiter to 50mph

as gp1

I havent tested this out fully yet

Better.  The car beaks are spectacular, and the engine fires are great
to.

Another great manual , and technical guide, similar to f1gp's but
colour with lots of pictures.

Its complicated I know that, useful to the ACE drivers maybe.

Are you shutting down to DOS from Win95?  And if so, are you running VShield
in Win95?  I have the same situation, but only when I've shut down to DOS from
Win95, and it started after I set up McAfee's VShield.  It seems harmless
enough; just put a disk in the drive and do a DIR to get the light off if
it bugs you...I've gotten used to it.
