GP2 newsgroup?

Hi, I'am pretty new on usenet (well I've actually been away for almost 6 years, that's about the same!). I'm looking for a newsgroup for Microprose's Grand Prix 2 game. This group looks like the place for it, but I noticed there are virually no discussion going on on GP2. Is there another newsgroup for GP2, or is GP2 already history? Thanks for any suggestions, Fred Bakker

This is the newsgroup for GP2. It's not quite history, though of late there has been alot of discussion of Grand Prix Legends (GPL) and the "pre-alpha" demo released. Also, many people have found Formula 1 Racing Simulation of UbiSoft to be a suitable new release to upstage GP2. However, if you have any questions or comments you wish to make about GP2 here in r.a.s., fire away. There are still quite a number of readers here who still find GP2 to be their top sim of choice. -- **************************** Michael E.

Gooday Fred! Welcome to ras! I just must ask what "been away" means since the internet is all over the globe. My guesses 1/ Space station assignment? 2/ Prison term? [No 'puters inside? :(((( I'd better behave! :))] 3/ Jungle Safari? C'mon Fred, I gotta know!

This ng's for racing sims, so GP2 therefore qualifies. You'll see posts on it from time to time. If you're looking for all things GP2, there's an unofficial (and damn good) web site. www.gp2.com. This may be old news to you.

Hello Fred, GP2 on its own isn't exactly brand new anymore. That's why it drowns in messages about other simulators over here at the moment. This does in no way mean that GP2 is DEAD, though! There are hundreds of websites out there. In case you didn't know them, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Visit these two sites for a good start: http://volftp.tin.it/GP2/ http://gp2.com/ And here are some forums that will keep you up with the latest news. Many things going on like track-editing, new seasons carsets etc.... http://gp2.com/forum/forum.htm http://www.mircx.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?forum=Tracked http://volftp.tin.it/GP2/gp2forum/index.htm Hope this helps, Joh Please remove *anti-spam* from the email when replying. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When everything else failed, we can still become im- mortal by making an enormous blunder....
