Hey Richard, I wouldnt advise trying to run this Sim in a Windows enviroment, The Suck ass engine Micropose designed barely runs in dos on the fastest computer!! Windows will only slow GP2 down even more, and in that case you can flip through a F1 magazine faster than this game runs!!

Work ok under NT 3.51 (at work) but only in VGA mode :( SVGA Problwm caused (I think) by a Matrox with an old bios but haven't got round to upgrading it yet. Rob
