If someone gets playable speeds please update. 15-25 FPS because of Software mode.	Machina

Trivia

• Original names: グランプリチャレンジ (SLPM-65276), 그랑프리 챌린지 (SLKA-25054)
• Also known as GP Challenge

Known Issues

Black screen

• Status: Active
• Type: Severe
• Description: In Hardware mode the entire screen, except for the HUD, is black once a race is loaded.
• Workaround: Has been fixed for "OpenGL (Hardware)" in v1.5.0 git revisions as of mid April 2016. Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)". For the Direct3D (Hardware) renderers, click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and set Skipdraw to '3'(this will also remove some minor graphical effects). The only workaround for older PCSX2 versions is setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.
