Sim Racing News : GP2 - More Info!!

Hi gang! Okay, so GP2 is out in Germany - it's not out elsewhere in Europe, and we're feeling a bit left out and sorry for ourselves right? Well, I got some of the top German racers (nice guys that they are) to tell us their first impressions of GP2 and lots of info and opinions. It was originally planned to be an article in next month's mag (and will be developed further into one), but for now if you want loads to read about GP2, check the "Latest News" section of the July issue. That should while away a few hours while we wait eh?! :) Cheers!

Where's the problem? You need 16MB to run GP2 in a DOS Session with Win95, and 8MB when rebooting to 'clean' DOS. Martin Koch
