I am wondering what the most realistic mod is for F1 Challenge 99-02 in
terms of the physics?  A few I am looking to download are ETCC, DTM, Sports
Car challenge, and Prototype.

Thanks,

Jiyang

In my opinion, the most realistic implementation(*) is the GTR2002 mod for
F1C (officially called "FIA GT 2002 - X Spec", I think).

Of those you selected, I would probably give the nod to the ETCC mod. Though
there is a bit of "rose tinted spectacles"-ness about the handling of
particularly the front wheel drive cars, IMO, it is the most convincing
overall.

(*): sorry for the semantics, but it's a pet peeve of mine (and a personal
crusade on RAS). The physics are the same for both vanilla F1C and any of
the mods. None of the 3rd party mods actually change the core ISI physics
engine. Only the implementation (i.e. the numbers about the geometry of the
cars, the properties of the engine, tyres, etc...) differ in each mod.
