It is not a DOS game.
Therefore, it will not work in DOSBox.

A directory with the neccesary DLLs comes in the game archive as far as I know.

And it's not named .dll. It contains several files with extension of DLL in it.

wow. this game is great. theres just one flaw: i tried beating it for 2 days now, until i realised its impossible.

1) one day without help. no win, no point.

2) then: ok, lets read the faq. no win, no point.

3) ok, as described earlier here maybe im to dumb to handle all that race thing so lets stay out of it and let it just be calculated. no win.

4) ok, instead of going testting lets just load the optimized xxx.csu files for each race

i didnt win a single race. ever. i didnt even win a single point. regardless of difficulty / team / car / custom imba settings everything to 5 stars.

now i tried cheating
i pick schumi, boost him the 2 missing points in luck&exp, make the engine 5 stars. get myself some extra $$$. then i hire 50 des, eng and mecs coming with me to the race (does it actually do something?!?), all best parts, all aids lvl10.

guess what: i get the pole with 20 (!!!!!) seconds ahead. so far so good.
but then i finish the race 9th (!!!!!) with -2 laps.

i tried this several times, it was no bad luck. custom race, calculated race, many stops, some stops, no stops whatever....
i just never get to win any race.

i tried 1.02 and 1.02b.

anyone got any idea ?

For those with dll problem :

When you install game on your HD there is directory (c:\games\grand prix manager2\system) .. from system copy all dll files to c:\your windows directory\system32. That should solve.

For those with sound problem :

Some onboard sound cards do not work. Try to install older drivers.

Is there a possibility to change the game language? Due to the fact that my English skills are not the world's best I would like to play the game in German language
