Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
GP2 is a simulation of the 1994 Formula One World Championship. It includes the 16 tracks from the season and allows the player to select from 14 teams.
Join Jon Denton, Tim Wheatley, Simon Croft and guest(s) as they discuss sim racing and racing games past, present and future.
Originally developed from a 1991 Adrian Reynard design as with the B192, B193 and Pacific PR01, the 1994 Benetton B194 won six of the first seven races in the hands of eventual world champion Michael Schumacher.
It closed out the championship with eight wins from the 16 races, but not without controversy. In the final race a contentious collision between Hill and Schumacher ended the drivers title in Schumacher’s favor, and many years later it’s still suspected the team ran some races with traction control (a banned driver aid).
First seen in sim racing with GP2 (1996).
