Due to the limitation of 24 skins in the game, we could not include the second Theodore (#33 Guerrero) and the second Toleman (#36 Giacomelli). You will find the skins in a subfolder, and if you know how to handle the AMS2 XML-files, you can exchange them for any driver as you like.

Humpty (aka mungopark) made an AI-file according to the 1983 results and balance of power. It was very tricky to balance the Turbo and V8 cars to get realistic results. To achieve that, he had to lower the AI-skills of the Non-Turbo cars. This leads to a relatively low average skill level in the pack. To compensate that, you can increase the general opponents skill level with the slider in the game.

Thanks to all the guys who contributed to the pack, especially Alain for making all the preview pics and encouraging me to start this.

Enjoy your trip back to the 80ies!

Hello, this skinpack contains skins for all Formula Retro Gen3 cars in the game - not the cars itself. I have checked again and the Brabham skins are in the brabham_bt52 subfolder of the pack. If you can't see the Brabham BT52 in the game, maybe you haven't purchased it yet? This car doesn't come withe the basic game, it is part of the "Brazilian Racing Legends Pack Pt1" DLC.
Fantastic work on these skins. I've been using these for my F1 career and they have brought me a lot of joy. Thank you very much!

Can you please tell me what livery/area you find blurry? Have you checked the .dds file how that looks? Is it while driving in the game or whatching the car in the showroom? Don't forget you only have 4096 x 4096 pixels for the whole car. That's down to the game limits and not the skinpack.

This great pack just got even better. The late season BT52 is amazing, cheers.
Excellent!! Thanks.
Thank you so much for your work. That Gen3 car is now one of my favorite cars in AMS2 and with your skins, it's much better!
Thanx, mate... 1983 (as 1984) was the best season ever!
Fantastic skins, many thanks One question, is there any chance that Piquet’s championship winning Brabham could be introduced?

The Brabham BT52 is confirmed by Reiza to come out a bit later. That’s why didn’t make any Brabham skins for the Gen3 model. As the shape of the BT52 is so unique, I think it’s worth waiting for it to complete the 83 grid…
Exactly what I've been longing for years! Keke's Williams I will now replace Lafitte and drive some double wins with Rosberg. Hopefully
