Is there a way to mod project cars to have teams and prequalifying? This is because I notice you can have 35 AI opponents in the formula a races. If you can edit the drivers and cars then I can get round it i imagine?

Maybe we need an Aston Villa-themed F1 thread here. Immediate first post for the Aston Villa thread: anyone racking up a DNQ while the current World Champion. So that's Jody Scheckter and Nelson Piquet for starters... Anyone who was champion a while back and then proceeded to struggle whilst being ...

In other news, good to see some much long awaited justice for one of the biggest tragedies in English football. Regardless of who you support, no one should die at a football match watching the team they love.

Ian Holloway has officially lost any credibility Cotterill in the Championship team of the year? He wouldn't even make my Birmingham City team of the year!

It does annoy me that they have 'windows' where you can apply. Just have them open all the time and if an entrant is within 107% time and the grid is less then 26 entrants, they qualify. If not on a regular basis they are probably going to fold anyway. Just be nice to do away with 107% time because ...

This is a good read, as I am looking of making my fictional championship into an actual modded career. How do you get it so you can have the pre-qualifying and 30 in qualifying as I am guessing this F1 Career Challenge?

Hey, I'm just wondering, what are you using to simulate the races? Is it one of the GPM games? I use no simulation for this, it means I have full creative control on the content but its means I do not get to see the visual side unravel. I sometimes will use a random number generator on number of re...

I wonder if they would have just increased the entrant size to 28, as I imagine given the Formula Elaborate Bluff earlier in the season nearly splitting the championship, be better to get a team that has a history of F1 on the grid then to allow the space just for the new entrants and the uncertaini...

EDIT: Thinking about this: Are they the same thing? Because I do remember Benetton being referred to as the "works" Ford team in the late '80s. Is a works team an entrant that is entered under the name of a manufacturer, like Renault or Mercedes? Or does it simply need to have significant...

With regards to the V8's from the 1990's, technically those engines were still legal right up until 1999 - it was only in 2000 that the FIA announced that the only engine format permitted would be the V10, much to Toyota's frustration given they'd spent a not inconsiderable sum of money on developi...

Currently conducting some personal research, regarding the history of F1. I was wondering from 1991 - 1996, the amount of entrants plummeted from 34 (1991), 32(1992), 26(1993), 28(1994), 26(1995) 22 (1996). What was the real cause of this decline? Was it just the Global recession, electronic gizmos ...

What if F1 had been able to maintain 26 - 30 entrants from 1995 - 2010. Who would the extra teams have been and how could it have been achieved?

What if Mansell had won the 1986 Spanish GP, i.e. the one he lost by 0.014 seconds to Senna?
