Why does any thread with either of these to games mentioned always end in a
GP2 is better than MGPRS2?
Ok, if you think GP2 is better than MGPRS2, so what. I have yet to find GP2
in a store. As far as I know it's not availible any longer.
It's not like someone is holding a GP2 box and a MGPRS2 box, and wondering
which is better.

I presonally like MGPRS2. I have not played GP2, nor do I really wish to, if
I want to go back in time, I'll play GPL.
I did look back in PCGamer and GP2 got a 95% in 1996, and MGPRS2 only got a
91% from PCGamer this year.

Personally I like to see lots of F1 sims, I'm even looking forward to the EA
F1 sim (it will at least be pretty, they all can't be GPL after all). When
and if there is a GP3, I'll probably be one of the first in line to get it.

GP2 has been re-released in the UK as a buget game for aroun 9.99

WH Smiths has got it on it's shelves, along with EB and *** Megastore in
Leicester

DOug

Personally I would say if you haven't got it go buy it now, even after all
these years there is nothing that
even comes close to GP2. Now I've got the hardware to run it it's even better.

I have played most of the racing sims since GP2, they have all been deleted and
GP2 is the only one that remains.

If you want an opinion poll as to what the best F1 sim is, then it would be
the  F1RS/MGPRS2 line. F1RS sold over a million copies by itself in less
than a year.

mgprs2.com receives over 2,000 visitors a day, and it's predecessor
(f1rs.com) went over the million visitor  mark this past fall (also in less
than a year).

So if you want the opinions of sim racers, there's hundreds of thousands of
votes as to which is the best F1 sim.

People from countries where Formula 1 is popular like France, Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, and Italy don't seem to visit r.a.s. Same with South
America. This is why the Ubi Soft titles are not the most talked about at
here.

GP2 is a must for all F1 fans; even though it has been surpassed by F1RS &
MGPRS2. GP2 is still very playable.

like GP2 but I would never put it in the top 3-5sims {imho}

Well, number of sold boxes isn't really a valid argument on ras. How many
copies did Psygnosis sell? ;^)

And a chicken is silencing them right away... ;^)

Well, we're still a minority in posting, but lots are lurking, believe me.

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise

Gp2 is very playable today.  It was done in a era before 3d acceleration,
and it's the only main gripe.  I would still love to see 3d acceleration for
it today.  It uses only your Processor power to run it, and it was the main
problem. Even today with a P3-500mhz it wouldn't run perfectly with
everything on (and sky) at Monaco on the start in 19th spot and TV view on
the side pod.  It would still be around 150% of Processor occupancy.

It's the main gripe (graphics).  I play with everything on in VGA here.  The
driving feeling is probably the best on the market as from today, just
behind GPL.  It's different, you can really feel the car, feel the weight
shifting under braking or acceleration.

If we take out that it modeled a now almost "vintage" era of F1 (early 90's)
where the driving style was different of today, it's a very in-depth driving
simulation of F1.  FYI  it sold over 2.5million copies David btw from the PC
data I have up here.  There is tons of add-ons, probably the best racing
software for add-ons on the market.  Better than Nascar Racing 2.

You can recreate any season of F1, by downloading those complete sets of
tracks, car shapes, and car performance (you can change them with editors on
the web).

But of course, I agree that MGPRS2 is superior, but nobody can talk about F1
sims without having a copy of it :)

Is there a GP2 site which receives 2,000+ visitors a day like mgprs2.com?
Did any GP2 sites register 1,000,000 visitors in less than a year?

David G Fisher'

discussed there, MGPRS2 barely at all. OTOH

But on another side...

Is this a type of site that logs 1 user for each HTML page accessed ?  And
if not, what proof can you tell me ?

Who cares about website hits, it doesn't make a better racing simulator !

Really... For someone who constantly knocks UBISOFT and
F1RS's game engine it is quite astonishing to read that you
think MGPRS2 is superior to GP2.

I guess you can call it trolling. I just like to point you when
someone is being kind of hypocritical.

There's a difference between...

me --> knocking something

And

you --> knocking somebody

That's the big difference. You see me say "Screw you *** what a load a
crap" when disagreeing with somebody like you do ? Nadda and that's the
troll line for me.  Geeze just LIVE with the opinions of the others.  If
your not happy with them, just reply and tell your opinion. But the "Shut up
that's stupid" is a troll post (thus aren't the exact words, but you see my
point).
