[Release] Red Bull Masters Series 1.3 (And bonus stuff) - Links on P1

Quote

An all new elite racing series financed by Red Bull, aiming to bring together the best drivers from the world's premier motorsport series'
and pit them against each other on a level playing field, with big money teams, closer racing and drivers pushed to extremes.

The field of 22 cars will be composed of three different chassis that, in laboratory conditions, perform within minuscule
margins of each other in three key areas; Aerodynamic Efficiency, Mechanical Grip and Downforce.

Jointly designed by Adrian Newey, James Allison & Rory Byrne, these chassis are expected to achieve feats rivalling that of
Red Bull Racing's 2010 RB6 which, according to Newey, is “probably the car with the most downforce in the history of F1”.

These chassis have been engineered to have minimal reliance on Front-Wing generated downforce, which will allow
cars to follow each other through corners more closely, while at the same time not being wholly reliant on the cars
underbody for downforce.

The field of 22 cars is supplied with power plants from three different suppliers - Ferrari, Mercedes and Honda - who have each produced engines
that output a maximum of 1000 BHP at 18000 RPM.

In levelling the playing field in regards to chassis, and capping engine power, the goal is to have the series be defined by two factors:
1) Driver skill.
2) How teams set up their car and engine

The drivers and teams in this unique series are made up of the best from various world-class series; Formula 1, MotoGP, DTM, V8 Supercars, IndyCar, NASCAR, WRC and more.

In many cases, the teams have opted to choose not only from among currently active drivers, but to enlist those who bring a wealth of experience to the sport.

High downforce cars and big engines means that lap and speed records are expected to tumble at all circuits in the calendar;

This won't, however, be a stroll in the park; High levels of torque will separate the great from the good at corner exit,
and the high cornering speeds will require an unprecedented level of fitness.

With chassis design a non-issue, the traditional field of manufacturer teams has made way for big money corporations such as
Marlboro – who, with the repeal of tobacoo advertising bans, have once again sunk large sums of money into the sport – and off-shoots
of teams from various racing series from around the world, such as the Holden Racing Team and Repsol Honda.

20th October, 2016 - Version 1.3
------------------------------
* 'Final' release.
* Completed Magic Data tweaks for 855 BHP, 15000 RPM physics.
* Added sample setups for the above physics at all tracks in the dry.
  - The gear ratios for this physics are more common sense than with the 1000 BHP sets.
* Moved sample Car Setups to external file; download seperatly from the mod.
* Added new menu music.
* Added new custom internal steering wheel - 'Red Bull Masters Series' from the dropdown list.

24th May, 2016 - Version 1.2
------------------------------
Changes:
* Updated 1000 BHP, 15000 RPM Physics & Torque
  - Greatly reduced the possibility of 'Clutch Slippage' - See bugs
* Replaced 1200 BHP with 855 BHP
  - Created appropriate Torque, Physics (15k and 18k RPM) & Performance files.
  - Magic Data included for all circuits at both 15k and 18k RPM
  - Magic Data tweaked only for Barcelona, Speang, Interlagos, Imola, Istanbul at 15k RPM
  - No tweaks for 18k as yet
  - No included setups; Standard 2001 setups are a good starting point
* Updated CSM menu descriptions for sounds
  - Now suggests appropriate RPM selection for each sound
* Updated Performance files
  - 'Home race' bonus for some drivers.
  - 'Home race' hoodoo for some drivers.
  - 'Track specialist' status for some drivers.
  - General reliability stuff.
  - Montoya is a Colombian again.
  
Bugs:
* 'Clutch Slippage' is what I'm dubbing this problem, but you'll know it when it happens.
   When it happens, throttle off and/or brake to drop a couple of gears.
   Happens more often if traction control is used; Automatic transmission may also contribute.
   Seems to be related to the Torque file.

Notes:
* Started work on the GPAEDIA, added more documentation to CSM files.

23rd April, 2016 - Version 1.1
------------------------------
Changes:
* Fixed bug with selecting Torque.ini
  - Modified the AI setups that were affected
  - Current car setups may need a longer final gear now.
* Option for 1200 BHP is now hidden, as it is only workable with a severely neutered torque curve.
  - Unless I can fix it, this will be replaced with a high-torque 850 BHP set.
* Updated some Magic Data for other reasons.
* Magic Data is now contained in the mod
  - Updating the mod is easier than updating the trackpack.
  - Automatically chooses the right Magic Data for the Physics set.
* Updated Cockpit shape/textures
  - More realistic perspective, can see legs.
* Misc. edits
  - Removed some redundant files
  - Started adding more comments to files
  - Added documentation re: New Magic Data setup

Bugs:
* When speeds start getting over 400 km/h, the AI has trouble stopping.
  I've increased AI wing levels at Monza and Imola to fix this.  

Notes:
* Physics will need updating at some stage, probably the next release.

Special thanks to all those above, and the following people:

* SDI for GPxPatch.
* Lo2k for GP4 Builder.
* Aubery Wendle for the Physics Editor.
* Marc Arts for CMagic.
* ZaZ for his ubiqutuos toolset.
* Madman for GP4 Tweaker.
* All those who helped along the way, with tips, advice and testing.
* Geoff Crammond, without whom we'd be lost.
* The friendly community who welcomed a modding n00b just a few short years ago and,
  by putting up with his incessant questions, are as much a part of this mod as anyone.

Not keen on letting their rivals get a foothold in the newly re-opened market, BAT have thrown their considerable finances into the series, 
opting for a Ferrari-powered version of the SMD-ZG01 chassis.

Signing two DTM champions in Bruno Spengler and Pascal Wehrlein, BAT have joined Marlboro owners Altria in signalling that tobacco companies 
have dearly missed the opportunities brought by elite-level motorsport sponsorship.

Where there are big money sponsorship deals, you will find alcohol companies.

And, as always, big motorsport attracts the big names.

Diageo, the parent company of some of the biggest alcohol brands in the world, has unveiled the early design of its Red Bull Masters series car today,
hoping, like Altria and British American Tobacco, to reap the rewards of this big money series.

Driving for the corporate giant will be the Finnish pairing of Kimi Räikkönen and Valterri Bottas, who are both hoping for a successful season with the
Honda power unit.

This also marks the first instance of a team using the SMD-300 chassis, with teams so far having opted for either the SMD-ZG01 or SMD-01.

Built from the tattered remnants of the USF1 outfit, the Mercedes powered US Grand Prix team has managed to obtain the financial backing of many of the corporations who were set to sponsor USF1.
Driving for the team will be perennial NASCAR favourites Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
