Hmm the modelling to me doesn’t look up to date standards.

I reckon it’d be good to have a mod that recreates old games, not just old seasons. How about releasing this mod not as an F1 1998 mod but as a Grand Prix 3 mod, complete with sounds, HUD, intro movie, etc.
Come to think of it, I reckon a Grand Prix 1 mod would go down nicely with those of us who still remember racing against the likes of Carlos Sanchez (i.e. Ayrton Senna).

@Lovretta.
That’s because it’s a bad CTDP 1998 convert. CTDP1998 was originally released in 2004 i think. That’s why it looks outdated and these guys have NO permission to use our f1c models. TRUB has the exclusive rights for a f1c conversion!
