I agree, Grand Prix 4 is a nice f1 game as well...

[@aberdeenkiko]

Well. GP 2, from Amiga 2000, is definitely one of the best F1 games ever. Yet, it lacked the road tilt/inclination drawing and physics effect. That started with the video-game called Super Burnout, launched in late 1996, for the great Atari Jaguar. With also, the video-game called F1 World Grand Prix, launched in mid 1997, for the N64; being the first F1, simulating video-game, to have that same road tilt/inclination drawing and physics effect. That had been, already borrowed from the Shen Technologies company, video-game coder/developers; from the then, previous: Super Burnout, Atari product, that was the only timely decently concluded and delivered; video-game project for the back then, well engineered Atari Jaguar, gaming console.

This simulator (and later GTR) pushed me to assemble my first DIY pedals with pots and electronic USB component from flight stick xD. And now i am looking on guys which are playing GT7 with DD wheelbases...

[@TobiasKrasinger]

What I always liked most about this game was, that they had the exact camera angles on the replays like on TV. That was always so cool. Don't know how many hours of my childhood I spent with this. I than replaced it by F1 Racing Simulation because you had the chance to customize cars, so you could use the same game for many years, and always had the correct cars

When a videogame from the 90s is more realistic than today's "simulators"

[@TheDigitalRacer27.]

for a while most people cares more about graphics instead of gameplay which is a shame, but ofc you can find decent modern simulators such as automobilista 1

[@michelforest6329]

What's the last sim you played that is less realistic than this? I had GP2 at the time and played it to death, but I would not go back to it when there are sims like Automobilista 1 & 2, Raceroom, rFactor2 or Assetto Corsa Competizione.

[@MetalJaska]

A friend of my father worked about 15 hours to make this Game run on that Windows 95 Computer that really was not made for games. It was my First racing game ever and i hat to play it with a Joystick (accelerate, brake and steer with one Joystick, Sounds incredible today xD), but because of all the help Systems it went okay. Some day i found out that i can switch off the automatic turn on the right direction and switch on the damages, from that moment i drove frontal in the opponents and watched the Cars Break in pieces ;) few years later i learned to Drive on PlayStation, absimulation like this was not the best to start with (but i really love to hear the Sounds again and to see the cockpit!)

[@TheDigitalRacer27.]

Grand Prix 2 had a beefy system requirements, such as graphics card and the processor, this game have a steering support if you play this on keyboard like I did, if you play this on wheel it is 5 times harder and fun :v

[@PSBSAW-Fan]

Using traction control (F7) is hampering your cornering speed. I can tell from the green light at the bottom next to the car damage display on the right hand side. If playing with a keyboard, this requires a bit of training on how to go on and off the throttle during the corners. Once you figured that out, you can ride less wings and play around with the dampers and stuff in the setup section. In the beginning it will gain you two seconds a lap. If you are a bit more experienced, it will be between three to four seconds - and out of the sudden the highest level opponents will look like turtles to you on most tracks. At Aida (5-stop-strategy and going slower as you could are the key), Magny-Cours (use an asymmetric setup and a 4-pit-stop-strategy, since your left front tyre will suffer a lot of degradation!) and probably Hockenheim (set up moderate speed down the straights and focus yourself on grip in the old Motodrome-section) the game still will be challenging in the beginning by using that technique, but it pay off pretty soon. Try to set up the car so that after approx. 20 to 50 laps the floor will turn red at most tracks. It will cost you some top speed for a couple of laps, but this effect will have less impact on your straight line speed after a while. On the other hand, you will make up a lot of time through high speed corners. Except for Hockenheim and Monza (both 2 stops or 1 stop) consider at least 3 pit stops per race (100 % distance), since the car will be lighter and easier to handle. Fresh rubber means that you can push harder and that the car is much more forgiving if you produce an error. Also, try to figure out when you will most likely be lapping the first back marker on track (depending on your advantage and the track usually something between lap 9 and 15). If you pit before passing that back marker, you also can attack on fresh boots and jump a few cars during their pit stops (GP2 opponents are hard coded idiots and often will stand in your way while trying to get or keep out of it, if you meet each other at the wrong place on the track). Front runners will be easy to overtake, since their strategy is one or two pit stops in most cases, which will make them have worn down rubber during the majority of the race (1 to 3 seconds slower compared to their fastest lap time set in lap 2 or 3 in a race). In general, your second stint will be your slowest stint, since you have many cars to lap and many didn't drop out of the race yet. Oh, and one last thing: Stay away from the curbs as much as you can! Only my defective flux capacitor prevents me from going back in time to win the 1994 driver's title!

[@TheDigitalRacer27.]

thanks a lot for this great information, I will definitely using this guide of yours for future races, for 1996 the races will be longer so I could utilise some pit info out of this :D

Did anyone ever play the Kelloggs Frosties Grrrrrand Prix game that was based on this game (I think, might have been GP3)? You got the discs free with boxes of Frosties (there were 4 from memory) and each disc gave you more tracks. If you installed all 4 you got the whole season and there was a bonus mode that had cars from 1950 and a retro track that was really long, not sure if it was a real track or not, wasn’t Nurburgring or Spa. It was based on the 1997 season, cars looked different and the drivers and teams had different names but it was clearly the 97 season, tracks were all the same as 97. Pretty sure you could change all the driver and team names anyway, I recall making Michael Schumachers name (who I was not a fan of at the time) something mildly offensive. The game came along a few years after the original GP2 though, presumably after folk stopped buying it, I would guess around 2002/3. Amazing how much memories watching a video about a different game can bring back! Loved that game, spent hours on it, free and I got to eat loads of boxes of Frosties, win on so many levels!
