I've been trying to get F1 2001 running with the 2002 update pack released
recently. Originally I had hoped to create a separate config and season
folder so I could run them independently of each other. I've tried
everything I can think of, made a copy of the config.ini changed the lines I
neede to point to the new season02 folder, created a new shortcut to the exe
file and edited that to point to the new config02.ini file. I can get the
game to start, but all it does is run the graphics set-up program and then
runs the default F1 2001 config.
So I'm stumped how to get it to work independently of each other.
So I've installed the update patch 2 and I'm contemplating installing the
2002 pack and replacing the original files with the new ones. Any problems
with this so far? Any problems I can expect with the new 2002 files and the
GT v2 mod?

I've managed to get this working properly. You do it in exactly the same
way as the GT mod.
First, copy the entire Season01 folder to Season02. Next copy Save to
Save02, Options to Options02 and VCR to VCR02.
Next, copy config.ini to config02.ini. Edit config02.ini, replacing the top
section with the following:
[COMPONENTS]
SEASONDIR=SEASON02\
SOUNDDIR=SOUNDS\
OPTIONSDIR=OPTIONS02\
REPLAYDIR=VCR02\
MOVIEDIR=ANIM\
TRACKSDIR=TRACKS\
VEHICLESDIR=VEHICLES\
DRIVERSDIR=DRIVERS\
LOGDIR=LOG02\
SAVEDIR=SAVE02\
MUSICDIR=SOUNDS\MUSIC\
Next, create a shortcut to F1_2001.exe calling it F1 2002. Right click on
the shortcut and choose Properties from the pop-up menu. Click on the
Shortcut tab and set Target to be "E:\Race Sims\F1 2001\f1_2001.exe"
config=config02.ini. Change E:\Race Sims\F1 2001 to the folder where F1 2001
is installed on your PC.
Finally double click on the shortcut to run F1 2001 using the new config.
I suggest you visit http://f12001.maxrevs.gamigo.de/dl_misc.shtml for menu
art and driver updates for your new installation. You can also download
2002 car shapes and textures from this excellent website.
Cheers
