I have made some new updates to my Season 2012 MOD WIP:
My Season 2012 MOD - Download Link - please be aware the (.7z) Zip download file is quite large (not advisable on a slow connection).
I've been trying to build a simple easy-to-use season 2012 MOD, with up-to-date car shapes, from a compilation of cars by several authors
- because I am not too fond of CSM. So you can use this MOD without CSM!
Sorry I know the wad file is quite huge but, if you know how to reduce it safely, then by all means, help to do it.

(In brackets I am showing which original GP4 template slot I am using for the new car shape - note this is not always same as slot reccomended by the original authors)
FORCE INDIA (Arrows) - RSCT Modding Group
SAUBER (BAR) - RSCT Modding Group
MERCEDES (Benetton ) - RSCT Modding Group
CATERHAM (Minardi ) - RSCT Modding Group
RED BULL (Prost ) - RSCT Modding Group
TORO ROSSO (Sauber ) - RSCT Modding Group
WILLIAMS (Williams ) - Excalibur
LOTUS (Jordan) - Hega
MCLAREN (McLaren) - dutch_canhaunetal1990stiffmaster99
FERRARI (Ferrari ) - Soulbringer
MARUSSIA (Jaguar ) - Virgin VR-02 By Tiko & Nick
The helmets, steering and camera positions require a bit of tweaking (maybe even some experimentation, and a little bit of trial and error), using TeamEditor,
And you could also adjust the trye & wheel positions using GP4Tweaker. I have included a zip file that contains a 'positions' file for each car.
Alternatively you can use the short-cut method by just loading the gp4tweak.ini file (which I've included) into your GP4tweaker and let it update the wheel settings automatically for you!
Helmets 2007 & 2006 by RauL0ng0, and 2006 Arai Helmet Shape, by Eugénio Faria.
2012 Pirelli Tyres are by Excalibur.
TO INSTALL & TEST:
1). Simply back-up your own cars.wad file, and temporarily replace it with the cars.wad file from this archive. Unzip/copy the '2012_NewShapes_perf.txt' file to your GP4 'GPSAVES' folder.
2). Load the game via gpxpatch, and then on the GPxSET tab, tick the "Performance file" option and browse to where you unzipped/copied '2012_NewShapes_perf.txt' and select the file.
Many thanks to brudu92 for generous help in preparing this MOD.
