Returning after 28 years

Hi all,
Thanks to GP2Joey on Youtube I have rediscovered the game and decided to download and go all in on it again as I did as a kid. I initially had problems getting the game to run so downloaded a version that included a simple 'start the game' batch file in the top folder. It now loads and runs brilliantly. However, I want the 'full' experience so i have downloaded GP2 editor which is working well. I am also trying to get it to run with GP2Lap but I'm having issues. Basically i have followed all of the instruction but can't get GP2Lap to run either through DOSbox or or the window editor. The game's DOSbox config looks like this:
[autoexec]
cd ..
cd ..
mount c .\games\GPrix2
imgmount d .\games\GPrix2\cd\GP2.CUE -t cdrom
#imgmount e .\games\GPrix2\cd2\GP2_XP_SET2.img -t cdrom
c:
cd gp2
cls
@gp2
exit
And the file path for the GP2.EXE file is:
C:\GP2\Grand Prix 2 (1995)\games\GPrix2\GP2.GP2.EXE
GP2LAP is stored in the same location:
C:\GP2\Grand Prix 2 (1995)\games\GPrix2\GP2.GP2.EXE
Within the GP2LAP windows editor have have set the file path for GP2 and GP2LAP to those above but i'm having no joy. I don't see the GP2LAP banner in the menus after starting the game. I also cannot start the game from within the GP2LAP editor or the GP2 editor so have to use the batch file mentioned above.
I am hoping the solution is as simple as changing something in the config command lane but being a newb I have no idea what I am doing (hence why I had to download a version that worked with one click!).
Any assistant would be really appreciated.
