Would this be the same mod the Herr von Henrie keeps mentioning ?

Maybe I do need to buy one of those EA F1 titles one of these days

It's not about the money, it's about finding the time to get comfy with
yet another way of doing things, I'm a slow learner and are still
struggling with the Papy sims for crying out loud, reinstalled N2003 not
too long ago and thought I had backed up my setups by backing up the
tracks folder......if I hadn't just passed on my most recent setups, for
both tracks I've ran so far, to someone else, I would have
lost.....minutes upon minutes of hard(ish) work

It's not worth your time, trust me.  I figured you'd be interested in
just seeing a shot of a Holden driving around Bathurst in the rain - I
definitely don't recommend it as both the car and the track are kinda
crap.  Bathurst has the same problems every F1C track has - in an
attempt to make the track feel bumpy they create surfaces that end up
feeling like they have potholes in them.  I'm guessing it's because
the suspension/tire modelling in the ISI engine is still utter shit.

LOL, ok, guess that settles it then, I know there's a group of people
working on the Aussie tracks, they have confirmed this and I believe
Carlos, the author of the current Bathurst for N2003 is part of the
groups

With Stan Allen plugging away the car shapes, I'll have my AussieV8 !!!
sim at some point in the future :-)

Bah - what nonsense.  Simbin have shown that ISI's engine is as good or
better than the current best if you take the time and use the right numbers.

Prolly not Bruce, touring cars are my passion, and as far as touring
cars goes, it doesn't get better than the AussieV8's :-)

Although a historic touring car sim with Ford Falcons, Ford Galaxies,
Lotus Cortinas, Alfa GTA's, BMW 2000's etc might spark an interest :-)

Or maybe an early 90's BTCC sim done properly, or DTM fom the late 80's
early 90's, or the 1984 (?) ETCC, I wanna drive the Volvo 240 Turbo, the
Rover V8, The Jaguar XJS, the BMW M635 CSi.....ok then, I'll find
something else

Simbin's mods have issues too.  Druids at Brand's Hatch as one of many
examples (Priory at Silverstone another good one) where you actually
have to compromise the exit of the corner in order to keep the car on
the track because it feels like you're hitting a pothole when you
drive over the polygonal seam in the middle of the track.

The physics in the v8 mod I reckon aren't that bad, it's more the way
the engine works that is the problem imho.  Bathurst is really awful
for that, particularly because the entire mountain section is full of
polygon edges where the car skips off the ground.  There's one exiting
the pits too that caught me off guard my first go in an f1 car.
