Definitely not IR2 old since that’s older than me 🤣 but I’ve been racing around since V8 Supercars/TOCA Race Driver 2 came out. Still have discs for V8SC 3, OG Grid and DiRT but they’re all from a time of product keys as a method of DRM so without resorting to dubious methods they’re relics on my shelf

First Sim was Geoff Crammonds Grand Prix , Grand Prix 4 is still worth a go as is Grand Prix Legends (the forerunner to iracing I believe), would like to see a review of both , great content!

I can still hear "Hi, I'm Paul Page. From PAPYRUS. This: Is INDYCAR RACING 2"

I remember the Papyrus NASCAR games. For the time they were AWESOME!! Kids today have no idea...this was cutting edge stuff!!! The details may be a little rough, but they actually did a pretty good job representing Laguna Seca. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!!! This is great!!!!

the two indycar games from papyrus were simply revolutionary for their time. such gems i played the shit out of both during the early-mid 90s

Don't forget, the DNA of this game is in iRacing now.

If you ever play this again, don't forget to use your F keys to bring up the black box. Yes, the same one from iracing. There's also hotkeys to change your fuel map, adjust the front and rear ARBs, and change the brake bias. There's a button to change what's on the display too so you don't have two speedometers.

The CART version was my first racing game. Loved it. Back in the day CART racing was on FTA Channel 10. Great memories

Man, I loved this game. Spent hours racing in Laguna Seca and Long Beach. This engine sound... so many good memories! Thank you so much for this video!

That’s was fun to watch. Amazing considering that was over 20 years ago. The damage model is almost impressive even by today’s standards lol. Thanks for sharing. Who knew that content was still drivable??

Awesome video, it brings back so many memories. Thanks for doing it. I played this game to death back in the 90’s although I could never have the detail turned up high enough to see the decals on the cars. The first racing game I played was Chequered Flag on the ZX Spectrum although there wasn’t much to it. The first game I played online was NASCAR Racing 4 I think, in fact that was the only one until I signed up for iRacing a couple of months ago.

Wow, a walk down memory lane. I spent many hours playing the original Indy Car. Played NASCAR Racing loads too. We’ve come a long way!

Papyrus was the sim studio to go back in that days, for sure.

This was one of my first racing titles on PC too! I was a little older than Will though. :( I started on keyboard, then tried to use a flight stick, eventually upgraded to a Thrustmaster T2 wheel. Good memories.

Really enjoyed that, remembered everything as if it was yesterday. I remember 'pre-season testing' at Laguna Seca and getting three laps within four one-hundredths of a second of each other, and was so proud of it. I had that track nailed, I can still find all the breaking points with my eyes closed, I must've done thousands of laps there. Thanks for posting!

Wow watched Back to the Future last night and thought that was cool. That game started it all for me too! Thanks for the video

Enjoyed watching matey do more. There's been some memorable racing games I've played, it all started in the arcades when I was a kid playing games like Pole Position 1982, Hard Driving 1989 etc. F1 games I played to death on the Amiga 500 and 1200, Formula One Grand Prix 1992 and Nigel Mansell World Championship 1992. On the PlayStation 1 Formula 1 1996 with Murray Walker commentary ;)

OMG! That is the very first simracing games I purchased too. I remember that I bought it at Costco (probably Club Price back then lol) for 75$ CAD. I was playing with a gamepad but man I had fun with that game. I spent countless hours racing at Laguna Seca and Elkhart Lake. I was using the Player's Racing colors as this was my favorite team. I still have the DVD and I think I'm gonna give it a try too! Thank you for these great memories.

I had the demo of this as a young kid, I bought it on floppy disks from a dodgy Sunday market shop in Frankston and I'm pretty sure I thought it was the full version, but it only had Laguna Seca and Michigan tracks available. I got down to a 1 minute 7 second lap around Laguna on a keyboard with no setup adjustment after hundreds of hours, pretty sure that was great! The physics seemed amazing for the time and crashes were epic, the way they split apart! What a game it was 🤣

So many memories watching this. My dad used to play a lot. My job as a kid was to watch his mirrors in case someone was coming haha

My dad is approaching 65, has a better PC than me (9700k + 1070ti), twin 32" monitors, so he can play games whilst watching others on twitch. Ahead of the curve for sure!

Oh man so many memories, this one was among my favorite ones with Jeoff Grammond GP2 or 3 i think, i had just a 486 in that time so i turned off the skid marks in Indycar 2 to run it smoother lol

Still vividly remember this from my childhood!! Loved it lol I mean i'm 37 now so damn...long ass time ago.

I love the function, that you can change the skills of the opponents. So you have a chance to win although you have not much practise. And there is a funny bug. When you are on the Laguna Seca Track with Chase Mode (F10) the car disappears for about 2 seconds when you just pass the Corkscrew.

Oh yeah my dad had this as a kid and found this on one of the retro games websites and was playing it for days!

I used to have this on my 1st generation iMac. In hindsight, I would have driven an actual IndyCar with greater competence as a 5-year-old than how I attempted to play this contraption. The graphics were horrible so you couldn’t see the road ahead, the cars had absolutely no traction whatsoever so I couldn’t stop swaying and bumping into everything that existed, and with a keyboard and a mouse, you could forget about it altogether. But as a little kid, I didn’t mind apparently… Speaking of Indy games, I had the Al Unser Jr. Arcade racing installed on my PC too, which had even more ass-backwards controls/graphics, if you can believe it. We’ve come a long way.

I used to love this game. I would race for real and then get bored and turn around and crash into everyone and watch debris fly. I really want to play it again. That game was sick for 1996.

Looking forward to seeing the pc build, I'm currently looking at building one soon just to run my sim, budget between 1500-2000, knowing me it may end up higher than that lol

Quite remarkable that some of the sponsors like Valvoline & Penske are still with IndyCar.

Bro, just like you. I too started playing this game recently, though it was gifted to me way back in early 2000's

I remember playing Grand Prix 1 by Microprose back in 1994 and marvelling at the graphics and gameplay, that would be a good one to check out.

@LordandGodofYouTube

Grand Prix 2 was amazing also when that came out, I believe there is still a community developing mods for it still.

My first sim too :) I remember I got the best crashes by parking the car at the start of the back straight at Michigan; AI couldn't avoid. Also if you finish a race and wait for all the cars to pit, you can then kind of drive very slowly straight through the whole line of cars in the pitlane, and they will "crash" in a funny way.

Yet more realistic than all the nowaday racing simulators.

Great video. It was interesting to see a European reminisce about indycar. I didnt think that was on you guys radar. But at least you watched and enjoyed it during its heyday before the infamous split.

Australia isn't is Europe though ;-) I can also tell you that is got pretty big in Europe once Nigel Mansell switched to it from Formula 1 since from that point onwards nearly every race was televised live in Europe until IIRC after the 2000 season. In 2001 we only got delayed highlight shows because CART got too greedy I guess. The Indy 500 though always had it's own TV deal which meant that it was always available live only on Pay-TV.

Loved this game, played for hours at a time on keyboard on pc

I remember playing this with a MS Sidewinder flightstick back in the day lol, man it was so good... pity Papyrus isn't around anymore, although people are still putting out mods for Grand Prix Legends!

loved this game back in the day as well as nascar 3

I used to play the crap out of this game as a kid. But only ever had the demo of this. Got the full version of the 1st game from the bargain bin later on which was the 2nd racing "sim" I had ever played.

Man i loved this game back then (pushing for 40 now), also played the hell out of Indycar Racing 1

Brings back good memories,.... remembder a racegame called REVS? That was my first. After that GP4, GPL Nascar3,...

One of the first driving games ive ever played, I was so young I couldnt understand how I had to pit but came out in last place. I would always rage quit at that point and it didnt take long to never play it again hahaha.

We've really come a long way! Gaming is awesome!

Now.. can you get this running on the simucube 2 pro? I know there isn't any force feedback but I will only have the one wheel to use. Maybe using a Gimx adapter it may work since that should allow you to make the computer think you have a logitech or thrustmaster wheel.

How do you change the player vehicles paint job to any other on the roster? It bugs me that I'm stuck with only one paint job!

Great work 👍

At the time, this was a top level sim. Had a blast back in the day racing my bro in law online, via modem to modem connect. I also remember being able to tweak the car, and it really seemed like the real life changes imitated in the game worked. Cool stuff baby. David Kaemmer working his magic.

This is so cool!

One of best video games in all time

Rally X and pole Position were the first racing games I played really, one's before were really a bit like space invaders, just miss everything coming down the screen and no turns you had any control of. Once Sega and Namco joined the party things got much more interesting. The birth of the Timezone arcades in the 80's with the special play anything passes for a couple of hours really opened the door for arcade developers to work on immersive tech in Aus. Would love to see a setup vid on getting wheels to work on these old games. cheers mate ✌

@@boostedmedia will definitely check it out 👍 Funny, you asked the first Sim (not qualified to racing) The first Sim I played was a StarTrek game I had to type into a Tandy/Radio Shack TRS 80 with a cassette tape drive and you had to type the 4 pages of basic code into the PC text editor before saving it to tape ;) My first video game played was Battleships played on the OTC satellite dish station in Carnarvon NW Western Australia in the early 70's on a screen that looked like an oscilloscope, planes flying left to right across the screen and battleships the reverse on the bottom and you had 1 button to shoot from either, was mind blowing as a ~7 year old. How far we have come. Cheers mate.

When are they going to port over Revs?

I definitely recommend oval racing in iRacing. A whole different beast but still fun.

This was the first PC game I bought in a special "magasine" with 2 other games : "Silent Thunder" and "Red Barron" Kiosk magazine were having amazingly cheap video games at the time.

First sim I ever played was Microsoft flight simulator (unknown which version) but as I’m a little older it may have been the first one back in, I believe, the 80’s

Indy 500 player here :)

In the "controls" menu there is an opinion called "linear steering" that could help you with the sense of dead zone.

My favorite pass time was to reverse my way out of the boxes in Laguna Seca, and then run full speed into the hairpin and turn my car into smithereens. :) Other than that, I used to play the game mostly to fine tune the car for Laguna Seca, to make the best times. That a really cool track.

1996 you say? I suppose that time I was on Donkey Kong and F1 1995 on Nintendo lol. I miss those cartridges.
