Absolutely awesome. This mod which recreates the mid 70's formula one
season is an absolute masterpiece. If you are a fan of the era (Lauda,
Fittapaldi, Hunt Jones etc etc not to mention the 6 wheel project 34
Tyrell) you just have to get it.

The download is large at over 500 meg, but extremely well worth it.

My thanks go out across the airwaves to all the CREW members who
dedicated so much time in recreating this amazing mod. You will not
believe the attention to detail in this one!

Thanks again

Sorry guys, I guess because ive waited for the release of this mod for
so long, that everyone was aware of it and also anticipating it's
realease.

Its for EA F1 99-02 challange and is available in the RSC forums

something special.

Why "F1 SEVEN" and not "Seventies" or "70's"?

    What a letdown! Any plans for an rFactor redo? I'd like to actually
enjoy this with other people online! :) Take to 'em with a 6 wheeler! LOL.

"G'day Bruce"

I wondered that too!

I don't care what they called it. I call it magnificent!

We didn't get them here in Australia in the flesh then, but Hunt at
Hidden Valley, Lauda at Sandown, Fittapaldi at Bathurst, Brambilla at
Queensland, the whole damm lot of them at Albert Park..it works
for me.

Can't speak more highly of it. Sadly, they do not seem however at this
stage working on a conversion for Rfactor

cheers

I read on their forum that a conversion for rFactor may be in the cards
once some 'vintage' tracks appear.

Please excuse my ignorance, but does this 550Mb download include tracks?
If not, where would one go to download the classic circuits that were used
in the 70's, particularly Nordschliefe, Zandvoort, Monza, etc.?

Although my favourite period for F1 is the 1960's, it wasn't until the late
1970's - when home-grown Aussie Alan Jones joined Williams - that the races
were telecast here, giving we F1 fans the opportunity to watch the races
live.
So I can certainly identify with this era of Grands Prix.

Bruce.

But I know your a purist Dave, and I always value your opinions, so
What did you think of it?

I guess it almost expected these days but the way they have moddelled
each car with unique sounds, handling/feel etc is just great to me.
Depending on mood I can drive anything from the 312T to  BRM. The
textures and windshiled details are just outstanding.
I know I am raving a bit, and sound like a paid political announcemnt
for this mod (that's if you had to pay for it) but Ijust think its
amazing.

cheers

They did a good job, but I refuse to support mod groups that are too
arrogant to use the default menu structure for F1 seasons.  I can kinda
sports car mods using launchers and an independent file structure in
order to keep things configured optimally for their series, but there's
no reason for an F1 mod to be such bloatware.
