I bought F1GP2 when it first came out, before I had web access.  I see here
heaps of discussion on multiplyer but I am sure my version doesn't support
it.  Did I miss something or did a revised version come out?  Is there a
patch?  This is all kinda irrelevant cos I'm sticking with GPL....until
F1GP3 that is.   BTW, Ubisoft's offerings would appear to suck.....

There is only 1 version of gp2, v1.0b (with the language variations).

gp2 doesn`t support internet ***, but it supports 2 or more players racing,
although not at the same time. After a set period, the computer takes control
over your car, and then control is given to another person in the race. you
save the game then, and e-mail the saved file to the next person who you are
racing. This is roughly how the multiplayer sites do things.

There might be a solution underway. Some hackers are currently bussy adapting
2-player modem play to IPX protocol. I heard that this could make it possible to
run GP2 head-to-head over KALI (?)
