Top 10 | Most Downloaded F1 2021 Game Mods

2 - F1 2022 Season Mod Aston.png
F1 2021 has been out since July of 2021, meaning its successor should only be a few months away. However, the months since the release of the 2021 iteration have seen the creation of countless community resources for the game – which is not very mod-friendly to begin with.

Community creations were never intended to be in the game, but the creative minds have found a way to release skin packs, HUD elements and even to alter certain track parameters like DRS zones. Many of these alterations can be found in RaceDepartment’s download section, so we want to shed some light on the most-downloaded F1 2021 mods on RD to showcase some of the fantastic work of our community members.

If I had to guess, I'd say most sims don't properly model the extreme effects of downforce. Even at 100 mph, an F1 car effectively weighs as much as a GT3 car. Since GT3 cars don't randomly become unsettled and spin if you touch a kerb, there's no reason why F1 cars should do it either.
Well indeed downforce is not the same as mass. But you are correct in your assessment if taken more generally. Most sims treat some situations way too easy, while in others are harder than they should.
But i think this is a consequence not of the game engines themselves, but from skewed perspectives that the devs and modders have of real life driving.
 
I've only made it halfway through the list (10th to 6th place) and 4 out of those 5 mods are basically just paintjobs / skins. What about mods that affect things like gameplay, gameplay mechanics, physics, audio, content (cars / tracks), graphics, etc.?
