I'd like to know about any experience with GP2. I've got Indycar II
from Papyrus and is the best simulator I ever seen. Is GP2 setup for
the cars so complete as is Indy II? Will be GP2 running OK in a
Pentium 100?

Also, I'd like to change information about car setups in Indy II. You
know being from Europe, is very difficult to get oval setup OK!

I, like most of the people in r.a.s., owns both games. I think both games
are great and ICR2 needs (obviously) a lot more concentration to drive
than GP2.

GP2 is better than ICR2 in the following ways:
Better AI, ICR2 cars run on their own racing lines and *never* really
care about if you are next to them while GP2 drivers really race with you
like real drivers --- Schumacher FIGHTS for his position with great
skills, some mid-fields less aggressive and some just backoff whenever
you put pressure on them.

GP2 is easier to controll

GP2 cars can fly

GP2 has more realistic sound

And the best feature.......you can really lockup the wheels WITHOUT
SPINNING OUT OF THE TRACK in every corner.

on the other hand, the car slides in ICR2 are controllable---power slides
can be performed with relative ease. It's really disappointing that I
can't powerslide a car in GP2.

well......I think that's all for the moment, I would try to explore more
in GP2.

GP2 setup is almost too accurate, way too accurate for the normal
user.  I drive Formula Ford 2000 race cars, and I never thought I
would see bump ***s or packers in a sim setup.
