GP500

GP500 is a motorcycle racing simulation for the PC developed by Melbourne House and released in 1999 by Microprose.

The game represented the 1998 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season, and is widely held alongside EA Sports' Superbike Series to be one of the best motorcycle racing simulations available. It is still popular across the world, particularly in the UK, Australia, Spain and Italy.

Game Basics

After having been tested and approved by many of the contemporaries of the Motorcycle Grand Prix paddock (including Kenny Roberts Jr and Valentino Rossi, who would both go on to win on 500cc motorcycles), the game was released in 1999 and achieved popularity within the sim racing communities around the world for being the most advanced motorcycle racing game at the time.

The game contained 24 riders from the official 1998 GP500 season, including multiple world champions Mick Doohan, Àlex Crivillé and Max Biaggi - however the game did not include the various wildcards and replacement riders seen in the 1998 season.
