Interest Check: F1C '99-'02 Group C Challenge

[nitro_2005]

Interest Check

I'm not sure if this is the right place for it, but this seemed to me to be the most appropriate and logical. There's no point putting this in the F1 2001/2002 forum in the PC bit, since that area is pretty much non-existant.

Anyway, here's what i'm proposing:

A race series run with the "Prototype C" mod for EA Sports' F1 Challenge '99-'02. I will provide links as to where you can obtain these downloads. The series will be open to any of the 206 (yes, 206!) cars included in the mod (provided you download every single update). The series will run on some of the game's 23 tracks. Here is a list of what is available:

Barcelona
Brands Hatch GP
Daytona (24 Hour course)
Donington GP
Interlagos
Jerez
Kyalami
Magny-Cours
Mid-Ohio
Montreal
Monza
Mugello
Nurburgring GP
Phoenix (Oval with infield section)
Rouen (old French GP course, also in Grand Prix Legends)
Sebring
Silverstone
Spa
Suzuka
Watkins Glen

Le Mans, Laguna Seca and Fuji were also available, but in different years of cars, the layouts changed according to the car set. Sorry, nothing I can do about that

There is 11 years worth of Group C machinery on offer for you to choose from, and I'm allowing you guys to take your pick! That's right, any of the cars in the mod is available to race. I'm thinking of holding a pre-season test as well at Jerez to give you guys the chance to shakedown your cars and work on setups.

If you would like the mod, then please visit http://virtua-lm.com and clikc the Download Area button. There you will find all the links for the downloads. You will need to be a member of Fileplanet to download most of them, but be careful on Service Pack 4. Clicking the Fileplanet links will just take you to a download area for the All-in-One pack, which has everything in it. Don't get that, because the unpacking seems to take forever. Instead, when you click the download option for SP4, click the option directly under the Fileplanet links. This will take to a proper download. Also, you will need at least 700MB of memory free on your computer, since the whole thing is about 668MB!

If anyone has any comments, questions, queries or suggestions, please feel free to either PM me or post here. Thanks!

HHMM Never heard of this type of game stuff. This does not look like Grand Tourismo or even a PS2 game.
Sorry Not interested.

well, it's not Gran Turismo or PS2 is it, because I plainly mentioned this was a mod for F1 Challenge '99-'02 on PC by EA Sports.

ive ptc, but, not the sp4 and later downloads because im on dial-up ... but, if youre going to use the 3.5l cars?

would you prefer just using the 3.5l cars?

if you can get enough people, class racing would be the way to go ... but, i personally would prefer to run a 3.5l car. 92 ts010 to be exact. speaking from personaly expernce (i used to host some races while on broadband), the xjr14 (not the gtp) made for some good single car racing.

are you wanting to do real olr or gt style olr? id love to do real olr, but, ive to wait until boardband comes out this way.

class racing does sound like a good idea. If C2 cars were available, that would be even better. On your other point, I was thinking of running it GT OLR style, but if we are going to do proper online racing, someone will have to make a server for us.

im in Nitro

 

[nitro_2005]

thanks appie. I believe that if we can get as many people as we can to help us set this up, we can put on a great series!

 

[Appie]

i think we could

you can still go with class racing since, iirc, in '91 the 3.5l cars were the top class and the aco allowed sauber to q with their c291 but race with the c11.

there were other big group c cars racing until 93 iirc.

off-topic - after rerinstalling logitech software, the wheel feels weird after gt4. i need to find the wheel set up i was using to make things normal. seems a bit laggy or something.

Sorry Not interested.

F1 Challenge '99-'02 is a PS2 game, but he's not suggesting racing on it.

 

[nitro_2005]

i have decided to turn this into a GT4 series. OK, there won't be as many cars as this, but at least more people can be able to take part.
