Here's the 1988 F1 season with mandatory pitstops with heavily modified SD cars. I love how the VRC 2007 drives but not so much their 1988 car. That is way too oversteery and unstabile... so the SD car with mods is the best option. The physics underneath loathed SD are basically Kunos 98T which is still the best vintage F1 car (along with RSS 1990). 98T has the best tyre and road feel of all formula cars I've driven.
This is the season that Senna won (although Prost scored more points). Back then only the best 11 races were counted to the totals. It was also the first year of their heated (and sometimes dirty) rivalry which climaxed at Suzuka 1989 and 1990.
Fuel consumption / capacity, turbo, player images, pitstops and tyres have been modded. Sparks added. McLaren has more powerful engine as it was a superior car and I made slight changes to the individual cars. For example better teams have faster pitstop crews, etc. Because SD cars were hopeless and ai was uncompetitive on race tyres, again all other tyremodels besides the supersoft have been removed (just as I did with 82,83,84). That makes the cars very enjoyable to drive and very competitive.
Adjust the pitstop preset fuel amount before the race. All cars will pit at least once because the fuel capacity has been reduced.
Top AI level drivers:
Senna 100
Berger 96
Mansell 95 (this was a terrible season for Williams)
Alboreto 94
Piquet 94
Boutsen 94
Patrese 93
Nannini 93
Capelli 90 (Amazing season for him, 2 podiums)
Player is set to drive Alain Prost (easily adjustable from the champs files). Grid size is 22. The season should be challenging and very realistic (results wise). McLaren (Prost and Senna) won 15 of all 16 races in this season. All three rain races are there for the full Custom Shaders Patch owners. And of course all tracks are the legendary 1988 with the latest versions. Full Rainmaker quality. Top stuff.
This is my last one for now. Still waiting for 1985 and 1989 that I can release. I have an amazing 1985 cars that were sent to me privately. Just waiting for green light for that and 1989 and then all F1 seasons that I care for have been covered.
All seasons (and their corresponding files) here (1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1998, 2007)

And here's a bonus video. I recreated Senna vs Prost crash on Suzuka 1990. Pretty authentic looking, eh?
