12. Oesterreichring (20 laps)
13. Monza 1988 (15 laps)
14. Nurburgring (20 laps)
15. Estoril 1988 (20 laps)
Two classic memorable races.
1984 Monaco that Senna almost won with a Toleman-Hart in torrential rain (video). Legendary Stefan Bellof was also having a great race.
1984 Dallas street circuit that Keke Rosberg won in a crazy heat
Dallas is a decent track conversion. It might have some crashes and DNF's but so had the real GP. Watch that real race when you can... one of the best races I've ever seen.
Zandvoort is missing on purpose (again). There is a vintage Zandvoort AC track and we rigorously tested that track but no matter what, these cars will not work with it. They crash everywhere and drive like maniacs. All other races should have very accurate layout and the cars work nicely most of the time. Osterreichring can have crashes but then again many races of this era did.
Top ai drivers are Lauda (the eventual champion of 1984 (ai level 100) and Prost (ai level 100). Only half a point divided them at the end of the season.
The user is driving Keke Rosberg (Williams) but of course this can be easily changed to your liking. I like to drive with a top driver but an underdog car. Williams got Honda Turbo in the Kyalami 1983 (last race of the season) but their turbo in 1984 was still considerably slower and unreliable. McLaren and Brabham have better boost and more power on the straights.
Yes, they are SimDream cars and I know people don't like them. But the physics are pretty much Lotus98T Kunos. And there is no other option for 1982, 1983 and 1984 seasons. In their default form they're completely useless as they are slow in the races with their race tyres. But I have removed all other tyremodels but supersoft and now they're competitive. I also slowed down the refueling process. Sure it's not realistic to race with QF tires but beggars can't be choosers. I also fixed all wrong driver names, nationalities and driver pictures in the skins folder (they were mostly wrong on the SimDream package).
Every car will pit, in every race. You will have to pit too. This is achieved simply by adjusting the max. fuel of each car and the fuel consumption. Again, no apps or Content Manager settings are needed. It's no rocket science but it works. The ai cars will pit somewhere around the halfway of the race. There is some variation and randomness though but that just keeps it interesting.
I also removed the cockpit adjustable turbo and it's now automatic 100% for practice/QF and 70% for race. Makes it more challenging. No engine failures. Also slowed down the refueling time process.
All you have to do is to adjust your pitstop preset during the practice or qualifying and the process will be automatic when you enter the pit during the race.
I don't share any commercial stuff but if you need the cars, PM me. I might know where they can be found.
All links only in the video description. Not because I want likes and views (nobody bothers to like them anyway) but if I edit something I only have to edit them from one place. LOL.
I've done mandatory pitstop seasons for:
1983 SimDream
1984 SimDream
1987 ACFL
1990 RSS
1991 ASR
1992 ASR
1994 ACFL
1998 Virtua Simulazione
Here's the playlist.

There's a lot of time invested. But I've done them for myself too. I love to drive these seasons and I try to get them as good and authentic as possible. And I think pitstops really gave them a "new life".
Enjoy! And if you need something for these seasons don't hesitate to pm.
