Wow...it had Finnish manuals and all..

Well I have tested a bit at monaco...the game runs smoothly enough if you
take sky textures off and only reflect cars and the track in the
mirror..(which was what GP1 did,and aren't the cars the thing you
really
NEED to see from the mirrors)
I am talking about VGA of course..haven't dared to test SVGA =)
I have a P90/32 MB/sb awe32/6x cdrom

It is really a pity you don't hear the other cars' engines...and is there
really a rain option? I didnt find any yet.

I had to buy an Advanced Gravis for the game..Gamepads are unusable..and
my former Quickshot joystick has deteriorated so much it understeers
really bad.

Advanced Gravis is a good joystick for GP2 IMHO.
The movement area is slightly too big, but it doesn't matter.

Collisions and crashes in the game have been really well reflected.

Computer cars are more aggressive even at the easiest level..and there
really are more computer cars crashing, or either having to stop racing
because of technical problems..

I have not tested all those car setups options yet, but there seems to be
a MANY =)
Now I just have to go through the manual.

Too bad the drivers are 94 but there will be an update,huh?

"ylossuuntautuva mutka". :-)

No rain, only sunshine. Sound is generally good, especially in the***pit,
but not in the trackside camera views. You can only hear your own car and the
sound is not very good. I remember seeing a Ford commercial on Eurosport,
where a black/blue F1 car (Sauber?) is floating in space and you hear the
sound of a Ford Zetec engine from a distance, a few hunder meters? That's the
sound I expected to hear in GP2, but was disappointed...
