As mentioned in the readme
Monday Night Race League run F5000′s with a fixed setup (all the same physics) on a regular basis.

I think that they will be running their series in March so plenty of time to practise

Ok, it was my screw up, when doing a stand-alone installation for it.

Concerning the mod, IT IS BRILLIANT! Best fun I ever had in a long time sim-racing, just in a test drive at Österreichring 1970. The cars take some learning and setting-up, but afterwards, it’s sheer pleasure. The tyre physics feel fantastic, you can -and sometimes must- drift at angles that most rFactor mods can’t reach and the driving technique needed is very specific and rewarding.

Too bad the AI struggles so much in cold tyres (like the player does), that they smash their cars all around and can’t be trusted to be raced against… After 15 years of sim-racing and with the AI problem, this is a mod can could even lead me to race online… anyone knows where to play F5000 online?

Is there any other server to download this from? I was so eager to get it, that apparently I downloaded the wrong (1.0) version and now NoGripRacing doesn’t allow me to download the file until tomorrow…

Looks pretty good. Love the old stuff….But I wonder how long before we see some painted up to look today’s Brawn, McLaren and Ferrari.
