That's one fine looking car right there - very nice work and quick too.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Thank you guys, I'm glad you like it - I hope it'll very much live up to the expectations. It really is thrilling to drive, it invites you to test your limits, it's (almost) all high-speed and medium-speed.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Alright, here you go. Instead of a traditional onboard-only or onboard-plus-TV cam video, I've decided to show you guys how much the 'slipstreaming heaven' nature of the old Kyalami is grasped within this release - which means a race video, a short clip to be exact (plus an onboard lap.) The kind of moves like the ones from 1:25 on are not uncommon on this track in the game at aby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Great news that the game still draws enough crowd to warrant a new site - this might fill in the void left by GP4 Italia a few years ago. Good luck.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Hi guys, As I've said before Christmas, I'm working on getting releases lined up for 2016 behind the scenes - some re-released, some completely new or previously unseen work - and the first one of these was scheduled for just before F1 winter testing begins. Which is now. Actually, I planned it for a bit earlier but as some of you might have noticed, Mediafire login broke down a fewby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Given how unpredictable such a series should be considered in its early days, I think it's only fitting that the most prolific F1 championship winners battled it out in the first round. (Alonso fan, by the way.)by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

It feels really odd to see cars from very different eras on one pic. What did you choose as a common denominator in terms of car performance (power, grip level, etc.)? It's also strange to see Clark second-to-last - but, as you've said, that's game if you have a full champion field, lol. Still, it's strange with Graham Hill so far up in the order in the other Lotus... Fiby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Hi and welcome back. I personally run Windows 7 (Ultimate) and I've never had issues with compatibility. Windows 10, on the other hand, seems to be proving quite problematic for quite some people here. I've seen multiple threads on the topic. I don't know about your issues on Windows 7 specifically, but I would recommend it still. Have fun playing GP4 again.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

I would be curious if the modifications result in an overall improvement in laptime, or not. Exits should certainly be better, but I'm wondering if you guys now overbrake the entry and the middle. (Looking at how curious your problems are, RHill, I'm still inclined you are just simply too good at controlling traction on the exit of the corners compared to the average player.

Bump. @gildoorf: I've been checking out what Google comes up with in terms of satellite data in the past couple of months and I recommend taking a look at it in Google Earth - having the mental image of the broad inflection points of the terrain and comparing it with what the program says, I think it's pretty useful as a base by now. With some luck, it should provide a good startingby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Congrats, guys.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Thanks. Although, in any case, I've slotted any release for a bit later on. Up next it's something similar, a re-work, in a way, too, and it will have much more of a connection to F1 winter testing than the Österreichring...by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Hi guys. I'm afraid I have to ask for some help again as I'm having another issue now. This time a track of mine (A1-Ring slot and based on that circuit as well) can't seem to accept more than 9 track cameras - any more than that and the cars become invisible. I tried to play with the unknown values in the second column of variables in the track cam editing view (in the Buby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
I also think it's a cool idea, although I have my reservations to any method which tries to determine the best drivers purely on statistical grounds (e. g. yours do not account for the relative strength of the car, see Alonso languishing in about 15th place on average in 2015). I always try to hone in on the subject using as much micro data as possible (actually re-watching races, noting racby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

If it's a CC-line issue (to be honest, I doubt it is), you can test my CC-line updates for the original tracks as well (links in my sig) - it's a useful test as with these files you are able to change just this one thing, leaving everything else vanilla.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
