I think thats 1998Yes my friend. GPL, where my true passion for racing simulators began. Thanks to the GPL Preservation Society, I play to this day, just to feel a little of that old, incomparable sensation. It was 1989...

GP2 for me too...on the ripping Pentium 90, Voodoo 3D card and joystick ( which gave me neck and shoulder pain after a long stint....)....my first racing game was Moto Racer...ha ha....I bought the Voodoo card soon after. In GPL, I usually drove the Coventry, then moved up to the Ferrari. I liked the BRM for it's boat like feel and never could handle the Lotus.Grandprix 2 Microprose on my 386sx 25mhz. And im not sure but i think i raced it with a Microsoft sidewinder joystick...
Where it all started is not the question... I've been playing racing titles since 1990. When did the "SIM" branding started is the question. I played all of the games I played using "THE" controller of all the consoles I used. The very first time I used a wheel was in xpand rally. Not even sure if anybody here knows that title. And it was between 2006 to 2008 when I first heard the term "SIM racing"...
I think you're mixing something up. GP2 wouldn't run on a 386, if I remember correctly you needed some kind of Pentium minimum. That's where I started, with a joystick, tooGrandprix 2 Microprose on my 386sx 25mhz. And im not sure but i think i raced it with a Microsoft sidewinder joystick...
