SR F1 Championship Comeback? There are 36 replies
Original Message posted by Grandprix on 10/07/2007 at 4:02:16PM
I've been feeling a bit nostalgic recently and I remember all the good times I had watching and writing up the races for the SR F1 Championship. I know there aren't a lot of people here and even less than remember it but I'll see what sort of response I get.

Basically, post your interest in perhaps another season of SR F1 and see how many are interested in participating. Spread the word!

For those not sure what it's all about, here's a race from the last season of the Championship.

SR F1

Yeah, it was worth a look, just to see how many there are interested at this point in time.

As it stands, we only have 8 players and that includes myself. That does mean we are about 3 players short.

I had a look. There's a 2006 track pack for GP3, but I have to have the blokes previous tracks for them to be update. Think this may take some time to trawl through and sort out.

I'd be up for this.

On another note, does anyone know of any mods to any of the Grand Prix games to give the most up to date tracks etc? I think I've got GP3 at home, but I'm sure I could aquire 4 if needs be.

Cheers.

When I try to play the game 'unable to load file: f1system.txt please reinstall gp3' - I don't suppose you know anything about that?

What I do is I change the driver names and team names if need be. I changed the qualifying to 15 minutes to mimic the one lap shootout and I put the race at 100%. The weather I put to actual weather and all the failures on.

I then do a full season. Some of the tracks are old and the points are the old system so I just write the results down and add the points up myself.

So you just change the names and stuff while you're playing the game then?

No, there is no in built editor, which is a major gripe because it's made editing Grand Prix 4 a major hassle. Grand Prix 3 was easier to edit.

Is there an seperate editor with the game (Like FM) that you do all this on? Or can you just do it on the game itself?

There is a setting that can make the cars all the same. You can set the length of qualifying, race and change the weather conditions etc.

Ah, great thanks for that. So are all the cars equal at the start or do you have to change that. I just hope this download works!

Yeah, I just changed the names. If I was going to make a small highlights video (like I was planning before the forums shut down), I'd need some kind of car update as the cars are from 5-6 years back.

Ah, well it's because you always used to nhave a choice of 30 odd drivers when you ran the SR F1 tournament I was wondering how you did that and how you had the newest drivers each year.

It depends on what you want. You could get car packs from the last 5 years or you could just change the drivers names. That's the simplest way.

So how would I go about having all of the drviers on there from the last 5 years or so? Or can you just edit and customise that on the game?

Grand Prix downloads

That should be everything you need. It seems like a good community. There isn't a lot of Grand Prix 4 downloads because I think the designers made the game harder to modify.

I don't suppose you could link me to any track packs or drivers packs?

There will be a decent explanation if there are a sufficient amount of interest. I don't think you'll get a whole team as it gives you 2 chances to get a good team (even though the cars are all the same).

Spread the word!

Pick a driver and a team for that driver to go on. Grandprix will give you a list of drivers and teams to choose. I however know how it works and have picked Lewis Hamilton for Jordan, although if he's running it as teams i'll have Jordan and will have to pick another driver.

Ah, I see. Der Nazi might be interested if you can grab his attention, maybe Ineedsleep as well. As well as all the Sports Forum regulars.

As for teams, in case it does get going, i'll take Hamilton for Jordan. I don't suppose Hakkinen would be avaliable?

I'll probably be running it on Grand Prix 4 again. If I can't find any track packs for it, I might go back to Grand Prix 3, as there is much more stuff for it.

As for the teams, it'll be anyone from this season or the past drivers on the list. I reckon 10 people should be enough, as I doubt I'll get 22. 10 people plus me = 11, so 2 drivers each. It means I will be relying heavily on these to enter predictions otherwise that Championship won't work very well.

Yay! :D :D :D :D :D

The Nostalgia wouldn't have come from all those links in the Hall Of Fame thread? I must admit the feeling of nostalgia has overcome me as well!

The Website

What would the drivers line up be? If it's like it was last time and basically anyone I pick Hamilton :) and i'll be whatever team you're on.

For any newbies, this is a great thing to participate in and i'd highley recommend joining :)
