INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the contents into your rFactor folder.
NOTE: THIS MOD HAS ITS OWN VEHICLES AND UI FOLDER DUE TO THE CUSTOM SPINNER/INTERFACE.

TIRE CHOICES IN OPTIONS:
DX7 users can only have silver rims by making sure their driver has a file called "drivernameRIMS.DDS" in that cars folder (for example TracyRims.dds, copy it from there if needed), and then choose a black rim tire option. The material name for the silver rim options is drivernameRIMS1.dds if you want to be thorough and make both.
DX8 and DX9 rim colors will show fine in the spinner and in game. You can copy a rims file from the 05/06 mod if you want custom colored rims.

STEERING WHEELS:
Single on-track lap times means only you are allowed to be on track if you want to see your name on the wheel, no other AI cars. This is the only way to get the steering wheel to show your name on the wheel without distortion.

THIS IS A HIGH-RESOLUTION MOD!! It was made for the pros. You are welcome to make
1024 skins if desired but it will not help much with the loading times. We enjoy giving you an excuse to upgrade your system. See the notes on our 05/06 mod on ways to increase FPS in your player profile file.
Options: Lower the rFactor detail settings, lower the DX level, enable AntAliasing.

CONVERSIONS OF THIS MOD TO ANY OTHER GAME OR GAMING PLATFORM IS PROHIBITED WITHOUT PERMISSION!!

Thanks to Motorsports Simulators for their continued support, ISI, and all the friends we have made along the way. We do this in our spare time because we enjoy the creative process and contributing to the community. Please show your support by contributing in some way.

------------------ DISCLAIMER ------------------

This is not my mod. All credits go to the original creators. I've decided to upload this mod to RaceDepartment for community enjoyment and archival preservation. More and more sources for rF1 mods are disappearing, and to ensure these amazing community creations are not lost forever, it is essential that they are preserved elsewhere on the internet - preferably in well-known, trusted locations like RD. Thank you to Kjell Nielsen, who runs the TrippTeam server, a place where an incredibly comprehensive archive of rF1 mods is maintained (and the spot where I downloaded this mod). Thank you also to modders like iDT who have preserved download locations for great mods like this. iDT, should you prefer that this be taken down, please let me know, and I will do so.

Latest reviews

This is a decent mod, but not one of the better or best Formula 1 mods I've "test driven."
The car exteriors look good as do the cockpits.

The driving physics, however, didn't cut it for me: The cornering abilities of these cars don't seem realistic and are subpar; they are clearly worse than the cornering abilities of my CART 1998 mod, which Formula 1 vehicles are significantly older than this Champ 2007.
Also, the steering on the keyboard is too 'quirky' and not precise enough compared to the more fluid steering of my CART 1998 mod.
