My F1 Vintage season race reports

Major update to the 1993 cars. Now Adelaide crashing has been fixed. It involved increasing the cars weight, creating new power.lut to compensate that, changing colliders, brake.ini settings, CD gain in aero.ini and several other things. Now all races should be pretty much trouble free.

Last update to the 2005_2007 skins.

A lot actually adjusted. Now Monaco has 98% correct ads in correct order for 2005. I also updated Bahrain because the main sponsor was GULF AIR. Same for acu_instanbul_park where RBS was the main sponsor along with OMV. Some fine tuning here and there. Spa also fixed the stupid Kunos logo and already before I removed all DRS signs from Kunos Barcelona and added period correct ads. Montreal also updated to HONDA, Budweiser, VPower and RBS which were the sponsors (not Gauloises, Fosters, Helix, etc.)


No more updates I think. All in one small package 77 megs. Extract to your track folder and overwrite.

The 1993 Championship that I made is extremely tough. I'm driving with Jean Alesi and I've been out of the pace in every single race so far. Managed to score points in rainy Interlagos though.

Doningtonpark 1993 version in heavy rain is very difficult. AI is very fast and because of the spray I couldn't keep very good race pace. I was in the 4th position but then I made a mistake, went to gravel and ended up 10th. I pitted in the 10th lap and so did AI pretty much (1 stop race for all). Max fuel with my settings was for 14 laps.

I got blue flagged by Prost, Senna, Schumacher. That much I sucked. :D

Race (really bad race for me).

Points after Donington:

Prost 24
Schumacher 20
Senna 20
Hill 6 (DNF's in two races)
Patrese 4
Alesi (me) 3

There's no way ever I can fight for the championship. It's set so difficult but I hope I can win at least one race and score more points. A lot of fun this season, too.

Alright... MASSIVE update to 1982, 1983 and 1984 seasons.

A lot of car and driver helmet skins corrected.

Fixed 90% of the crashing at Kyalami 1967 (changed the track to different version with a fix)
Fixed cars hitting the barrier in the Monaco Sainte Devoite corner (I have no idea how I did it actually, I copied the colliders.kn5 from Lotus98 Kunos and changed colliders.ini and that finally did the trick)
Thanks to advice of Thockard I managed to make the SD cars much, much better (dampers, antirollbar, suspension more travel = less cars slingshotting, etc)
Reduced the top speeds of all 1982, 1983 and 1984 cars, I think they were a bit overboard
In 1983 season Rosberg's car has the correct #1
In 1982 and 1984 seasons Piquet's car has the correct #1

Only 1984 anon_dallas (Dallas street circuit) is a bit crashy race now. But it was in the real life too.

etc etc

today I start a new season with F1 1984 after I watched Senna on Netflix (so far 2 episodes). as soon as I saw the Toleman I knew what will happen - such a beauty!!
however, if I am too dumb to change the default car from your season download, you will maybe hear from me.

Bernie is my man.

I think he had a huge advantage with his small body, but it would be more than unfair to reduce his success to that lame fact. all in all the biggest admiration for him is in my case, that he had always maximum patience when he made on lap after another on literally rails.
 
No man... took me 60 seconds. :D


I might improve the 1984 car skins. There is a lot to be improved. For example Senna's blue suit isn't that nice.

I actually fixed a lot of stuff just recently. Bellof rear wing showing wrong number, Mansell and De Angelis used the same car skin which I fixed, also fixed the text MOBIL 1 Raly Formula from Williams to Rally Formula (how can you even misspell that but hey it's SD). etc.

Get the new stuff


And don't forget to use the year specific 1984 Leaderboard and add Kyalami 1984 skins from the CM.

Watching a great interview with Lauda, Bernie was absolutely not being interested in safety only money. Also interesting is this guy.

 
Who was around when rFactor was new? It was such a revolutionary game. I remember lapping this old Kyalami circuit on rFactor. LOL.

The actual 1985 Kyalami race was insane too. Rosberg hit an oil spot, was one lap behind and started larger than life charge. Frank Williams said it was the craziest charge he has ever seen. Watch the actual race last 10 minutes and you'll see.

Keke is so underrated because he drove all his career total s**tboxes and then 1985 when he got a fast car he had five 1st place tech.DNF's.
