I made a streetbike set if your interested. I never new how to add just the bikes so it means a single install next to your normal GP500 real easy copy and paste job lol.

i still have it, and play it now and then, not much since GPB, though...
while on the subject, though, does anyone know of any cure for the problem it started suffering since, i think, XP, where the game suddenly speeds up for a second or so, usually resulting in a crash....
that was probably the only thing that bothered me quite a bit, especially as i like doing full length races - this would happen every few laps, and really spoil things for me....
as far as i'm aware, there never really was a fix for this, but if anyone knows, i'm sure someone on this forum will... ?  :)

O.K. Doc try these DropBox links:

GP500 here:https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0bgk3tyjr36vhp/Gp500.rar?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0bgk3tyjr36vhp/Gp500.rar?dl=0)

Data here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8w2ha41t5noep88/1991Data.rar?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/8w2ha41t5noep88/1991Data.rar?dl=0)

You should end up with two folders. A gp500 folder (main game folder) and a separate 1991Data folder.

Rename the 1991 Data folder to just Data and place it within the main gp500 folder. Change origgp500.exe file or the coregp500.exe file (cannot remember which..try both ) to just gp500.exe and then off you go..

You might need to set compatibility to windows xp or 98 and hopefully then it should work. Fully cracked and fully patched. I hope it cures the speed-up bug for you. For some it does for some it doesn't. Give it a go anyway. Please excuse the pink skins and helmets lol. The IOM TT track is selected via Phillip Island and Dundrod via Brno I think.

Let me know how you get on. If this doesn't fix it talk to grooveski..maybe he can help you solve it?

Best wishes, DD
