Grand Prix 2, sometimes known as "GP2" and sold in the
American market as Grand Prix II, is a
racing simulator released by
MicroProse in
1996. It was made under an official FIA license that featured the
Formula One1994 season, with all of the circuits, teams, drivers and cars. The cars were painted with liveries reflecting the races that did not allow tobacco and beer sponsors (i.e.
1994 French Grand Prix).
It had 3D texture mapping and
SVGA graphics, as well as an early but realistic physics
engine. A large community of GP2 enthusiasts formed quickly and still exists today. Grand Prix 2 is recognized as one of the definitive racing simulations of its era.
