Wow! I've not looked at GP4 since the end of 2008, and I have to say to everyone, Wow! I can't believe this game is 8 years older than where I was racing and playing and still going strong. And the cars look amazing. Good job guys and gals. I would love to start afresh in 2017, but would have no idea how to go about it again.by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
Ai = Buggy, but only done 2 races and not seen the mega extent of the buggy AI yet. Graphics = Nice, but download the SunMod to help brighten up the tracks and make it more of a driving game, and not a late evening Sunday drive. Weather effects = Really nice... most of the time. Did a race in Australia which started very wet, and was on wet tyres. It dried, and the AI pitted for Ints... bby Viper-F1.com - Other Games
If you can't even be your own driver in a team, it'll be not my cup of tea. No matter how fantastic it is. I want to be me, racing against the best, not... um... Petrov against Kubica and the rest for example. But I fear, judging by the videos, that you'll be Alonso, or Schumacher, or Kubica or whoever. I wonder if "Jim'll Fix It" still recieves letters!by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4

From 2002, starting with Grand Prix 3, every GP weekend, 100%, non-stop, no pausing, or saving. =) Would spend a bit of extra time at the circuit setting the cars up. Tried to mimic a F1 driver as best as I could. =) Its the only way to play a F1 game! And its the closest I'll ever get to racing along F1 drivers! =Pby Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4

What is the honest point of customising a generic shape to create the 2009 grid. You'd no doubt just race against the generic shapes, with the generic liveries... o_O Just seems... rather pointless. Play GP3 with a load of your own painted 2009 liveries on a generic shape if you want to do that. LOL! Better yet, create individual shapes, liveries and put them into a racing game.

Open the F1graphics.cfg file using Notepad. 1) Click start. 2) Click run. 3) Type Notepad 4) Drag and drop f1graphics.cfg into open notepad window. Edit. Save. Done. Felt like Gordan Ramsey there. =xby Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
OK. 1) Grand Prix 4 was designed to have 22 drivers. 2) Grand Prix 4 runs with 22 drivers. 3) You can't remove two drivers, to have 20 drivers, you must run the game with 22 drivers. 4) To make a race run with only 20 drivers, you can set 2 drivers to have poor performance, so poor, that they retire by the first corner. Thus, solves your problem.by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
I used to have a GeForce FX5200. Its not just down to your graphics card. Your processor will have to be quite quick too to handle the polygons of the cars. For me though, I remember having 1024x768 @ medium shapes, no rear-view mirror buildings, low pit crews, and no shadows. Looked crap, but was the only way I could get it to run properly.

The trouble with a 3d steering wheel with additional arms inside the cockpit view would be the pivot point. GTR/Race and other games use a "bone skeleton" structure to lock down the pivot points of the driver so that when the steering is turned, the shoulders will stay in the same location, and the hands move round the wheel. With GP4, the arms would be static to the wheel, so when yoby Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
Why do a mod for GP4 when you could just to the car skins and any additional cars for Race07! The physics will never been the same from GP4 to having WTCC. Not questioning the project, just think that it would be wiser to focus Touring Cars into a different game. If you were wanting to do the A1GP mod, or the new "football racing" mod, then cool. But seems a lot of work for when Rby Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4

I tend to slouch down in my chair, lower it quite a bit, and ALWAYS drive in cockpit view from beginning to end. I don't tilt my head, but have been known to "Roger" when the pitcrew say to "Pit, at the end of this lap!" Oh no! Have I just admitted that!!by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
23 years young! Been gaming on GP,GP2,GP3 and GP4 since I was around 9!! :D Always ran my own team too! :P And only ever won 6 championships across all those years!

6 years! SIX YEARS!!!!!! My god! Has it been THAT LONG!!!! I remember reading it in a magazine, writing it on the calander, and heading off down to my local shop to buy it! I even remember speaking to the woman behind the counter saying "God, I hope this game works on my PC (and it still doesn't really - lol), cause I know its going to be amazing!" 6 YEARS!!!!!!!!

The only way to make bikes work in GP4 is the same way you could get bikes to work in Need For Speed 4, and that is to make small invicible wheels, a small box as a "pivot" as the body, and the biker, and rider as the helmet. The only bad thing about all that is A) The wheels will leave skid marks outwith the bike. The small box might protrude out the bike, depending on the modelinby Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4

Why a damage model?! When I heard about Grid being the ultimate in damage, and my mates are all like "WOAH, when you crash, its brilliant..." It makes me feel really yucky cause, yeah you want the car to be damaged when it crashed, instead of bouncing off a wall, and your out of the race or whatever, but I dont think the 'Damage' modelling should be driving the game. &quoby Viper-F1.com - Other Games
Dont think T-Cam view will ever be correct, cause in reality, the camera is using a sligh fish-eye effect that GP4 wont/can't emulate. Unless I'm mistaken.by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4

Practise on a keyboard makes perfect! :0) Little tip, when playing without automatic brakes, and you've steeeeemed into a corner a little too quick, tap the brake button like ABS would! ;0) Always works for me. Also, tapping keys either while cornering, or when driving with no TC is beneficial. For me anyway.by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4

I like the 3D arms! True, the steering doesn't pivot round and the Monaco hairpin looks daft, but I've got it set up to have different steering wheels onto a standard shape, and it looks awesome! :0)by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
Yeah, I have to agree with Robert on that one. Remember that GP4 is an old game, so it's gaming structre isn't quite the same quality as some newer games. I have to have mine set at 0 or 1 for it to run at all. If its on All, track loads then dumps straight to desktop.by Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
I have noticed a few crashes when driving, doesn't matter what track, or camera-t/cam-cockpit, etc. And its to do with me anyway, pressing M for the microtime to pop up. If I've restarted my PC, and play straight away, I can do a whole GP with mircotime going on and off etc. If my PC has been running and I've been doing stuff, then gone and done a GP, when I press for the Microby Viper-F1.com - Grand Prix 4
