This program makes GP2 run natively on Windows. It also adds some improvements to the game like moving steering wheels and car tyres in cockpit view, widescreen, better key mapping, better controller support among other improvements. This is an alpha version which may have buggy and unfinished features. It is under active development by hatcher.
This project is the cumulative result of 2.5 years of work in my free time prior to the first public alpha release in January of 2025.

- rewritten cloud generation (don't get your hopes up, it's never going to look good)
- improved rain visuals
- statistical random weather always resulting in rain fixed
- here I would also like to clarify the weather settings:
- RANDOM: Completely random. You have the same chance of monsoon as a sunny day. This is not how real weather patterns work though.
- REALISTIC RANDOM: Weighted towards dry weather just like real weather for an average F1 track.
- STATISTICAL RANDOM: Similar to realistic random but actually takes the weather statistics of the selected track into account.
- NOTE: This only works for the original tracks by default. For custom tracks, you have to assign the percentages in the cfg. (See Spa 2009's config)
If it's not present, this setting just silently reverts back to realistic random.
IMPORTANT TIP: If you have the weather changing per session, the pre-race warmup will still have the same weather as the race,
otherwise it would be too unfair and impossible to select the right tyres for the race.
