This mod presents the 1998 version of the Vancouver street circuit raced by CART. The mod was made by Zero-G and Racing Line Developments (the devs of CART Factor).
1998 was the first year of a new layout for the CART street circuit race in Vancouver. It included a chicane at Turn 6 (which was removed 1999 onwards) and had a single fast final corner sweeping back onto the pit straight (whereas a chicane was added for 1999 and beyond).
Here's a video of the TV broadcast of the race:
Below is a video showing how the mod track looks.
While it has great textures and modelling work (as rFactor 1 mods go) and is fairly accurate, there are some inaccuracies IMO - notably, the final corner seems too tight and the front straight too long. Still great fun to hotlap and race.
Plus, it's the only rendition of this specific track layout in virtual racing (ICR2 had the earlier layout, while Codemasters TOCA games had the 1999-onwards layout).

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). Zero-G and RLD, should you prefer that this be taken down, please let me know, and I will do so.
