GPL-1967 Career mode (for the GPL-1967 mod)

GPL-1967 Career mode (for the GPL-1967 mod) 1.0

After getting the brilliant "GPL-MOD 1967" and getting hooked on classic F1, I went looking for a career mod that mimicked the '67 GP season, but couldn't find any.
Perhaps not a sought after thing in the Assetto Corsa community, but I sat down and made my own career GP for it, and I thought I might as well share it for anyone who might be in the same boat as me.

Links to all the tracks needed for this are in the included instructions.

You'll be driving the Lotus 49.

Mosport Park is only available as a modern version, so I've not included it, and for the French Gran Prix I've swapped out the "Le Mans Bugatti" track for the "Circuit de la Sarthe", since the former wasn't available, and it was rather disliked by both drivers and fans at the time, and drivers were reportedly more keen to drive on the latter.
The "Sandvoerde" track is the only track required that's payware ($5), the rest are free.

All races are at a 10% lap count compared to the real GP, and rounded up in case of laps that don't divide evenly with 10. If people find this lap count is too low, let me know, and I'll change it, or update it to include various lengths.

Each track has a practice session and a 15 min. qualifying session.
For the longer tracks, this might mean you only have one or two shots to get a good qualifying lap in.

It comes in two versions; one with 16 AI opponents, and one with 10.
16 opponents might become slightly chaotic on tighter tracks like Monaco, but it only makes sense that a handful of cars don't finish the race. It's 60's F1 after all.

This mod also comes with AI tweaks for Monaco and Spa, since those had consistent issues with the AI crashing at specific spots.

I know there are some areas that could use some polish (the individual GP descriptions aren't very creative, perhaps some could have slightly better pictures), but the structure is there, and I've enjoyed playing around with it.

Please let me know if you notice any bugs or glaring mistakes, or if you have suggestions for improvements.

Enjoy! :)

Massive thanks and credit to all the mod makers that created the GPL mod and the brilliant track recreations.

I think it's great this mod. Why is Africa 1967 and Netherlands 1967 track not included. Both routes exist as a mod ?

Links to all the tracks required for the career are in the included installation text file, including both the South African (Kyalami) and Dutch (Zandvoort) that you mention, so I don't quite understand the complaint?
Wow this is really great stuff! I knew nothing about making a custom career before so this provided a great template that I could tweak to my liking.

I noticed this doesn't include the Canadian GP that took place in 1967. There is actually a mod of the Mosport Park circuit available on RaceDepartment. While it is a modern version on the track, the actual layout has not changed since 1967 so it suits me fine.

Also for personal taste I decided to swap out the French GP to Rouen Les Essarts and double the amount of laps for each race to 20% of original length, but that's just me.

Thanks for your review! I actually based this on another custom career, so I did the same thing as you.

The Mosport Park thing and the French GP was mostly just done to my own tastes, since I wasn't planning on releasing this initially, but I'm glad that you're tweaking it to your own liking!

That's what modding is about.
This has been so much fun. I didn't realize that the opposition was only running at 80%, but they can be adjusted up to 100%, which I might add is pretty tough to keep up with. I LOVE it.
