Hello All,
It's a long time since I was at the forum and it is weirdly my very first stand-alone post about 2000 cars.
Introduction:In the year 2000, we literally witnessed so many heart-beating moments from F1 what it used to be: Roaring V10 engines on the back of 4 wheel beasts, no DRS overtaking manoeuvres, the greatest rivalry between two great champs, a resurrection of the red prancing horse, a return of Honda and you name it. Who wouldn't want to reenact this glamorous season in Grand Prix 4?
In 2006, Enzojz released amazing cars to our forum and they were simply astonishing. It was the moment I decided to PM him to get a chance to have other unreleased cars and I was one of the luckiest ones who could have them from him.
We, GPG members, had waited for him to release the cars but the time passes so quickly: Enzojz got his own life and he needed to move on. I personally believe it was one of the greatest losses but we had to respect each other's life. It was a moment that I started to learn how to modify & map cars and I truly enjoyed my own modified Enzojz's amazing cars.
With Enzojz's permission, I was finally able to present the cars I worked on in 2013 but I had started my own family and it was so difficult to spare my own time: family & work were my priority and I had to move on as others. It was a frustrating moment in my life where I have drifted away from this incredible forum, it felt like turning my back on which I was very fond of.
However, I am finally able to return to the forum because of infinite supports & trusts from our forum members. Especially, a good friend of mine, Tobi(aka kedy89) PMed me about the cars and made me restart to work on cars... So how is the progress going?
