This Historic version includes 17 cars from F1 1975 season with realistic psychics (Mod has P34 that was used on 1976 season, but this version was already released during the season 1975). I used all data I found last 3 months to make these cars realistic as possible. Hopefully everyone is having fun with this mod
Very big thank Chief Wiggum for making these cars looking even better than ever! He has made sick amount of work with this mod!! (he doesnt even sleep nowdays)

TIP:
When downshifting, be carefull not to go over 10.500 or your engine will blown up easily. So first you must brake and then change gear.

Thanks for feedback I have got in PM! I have some very good conversation and beta tester past 2 weeks so big thanks to whole community!

They are made by TEAM CREW and ChiefWiggum to rF1. So all thanks should go there!

Hello!

I present you
F1 1975 0.9!
Mod is still W.I.P.
Please read this text carefully!

This mod is conversion from awesome F1 1975 LE mod
https://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Simracers F1 1975 LE
By ChiefWiggum and Dave Purdy
It was released only year ago and it has awesome updated cockpits and car liveries! Every rF1 and F1 fan should defenetly download it! They also have league if you are interested:
http://www.simracers.de/forum/

rFactor 1 mod was originally done by CREW for F1 Challenge '99–'02, so this mod has come long journey.
Big thank you for these guys! They really have made awesome job with the mod and I can thank these guys for 1000 hours of simracing in my life. One of the biggest reasons why I'm still here.

Also big thanks to guys who converted team CREW mod to rF1 with name
F1 seven 1975 IPE
https://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=F1 Seven 1975 LE and IPE v1.1
Amazing mod and I got lot of inspiration from that mod with the psychics

Also thanks to ISI/Studio 397
They released BT44B from steam and are only reason why I even started whole project. Everybody can thank these guys for making possible to make car psychics so enjoyable as they are now. Lot of learned from their blog post about making cars!

Very big thank you for rF2 community. 3 months ago I had zero knowledge how to do this, but reading this forum has been very helpful. Keep up the good work, and if somebody want help with they mod, just PM me! Im happy to help and test your mods!

It has now been 2-3 months before I started this project. Have to say this has been very rewarding experience. My first goal was just to make this mod to myself (and first version was only made to myself), but after that I taught that i could make this good enough for release. Thanks for giving permission to convert it

I want to make very clear, that all appreciation, respects and "thanks you" should go to original rF1 and F1 99-02 makers!
I had the easiest part of making this mod (REALLY!). I cant believe how talented these guys are making so awesome looking/feeling mods for FREE. That really shows how good sim racing community really is. Hopefully in future we could have less fighting between each others, and be more focused on racing. Of course all negative feedback is still welcome

Also big thank you for Mauro, who spend more time testing this mod than me! Without his feedback my progress would be much slower.

​

Updating of this mod continues after this release! It's not yet finished and I will take little modding brake after this release and just enjoy racing.
The original idea was to make this to myself and haven't got enough time to race with this.


Engine can blown any time (like in real F1), but remember to shift correctly! Bad shifting can reduce your engine life time very much

In the end I want to give special thanks to ChiefWiggum! This guys has been making so many great mods for rF1 and he still is making them!
That is true passion.
Also thanks for him, for making so high quality cars for this mod! They look like they are made scratch for rF2. And cockpits looks very very good!
You made my favorite era of F1 cars much more better!


Happy racing!
Hopefully everybody has good time with this mod!
Atleast I have

ps. I you have any good videos or pictures, send to this thread!
Would love to watch!

Please do not upload this mod to other sites. I will keep updating this, so would be better if links would come from me.

Strongly recommended to use steam download. Future updates will be there!

Woohoo going to try this thanks

 

Awesome sauce Postipate. Many thanks to you and all the original developers of this mod.

 

yeeaaahh DL now!!

many thanks Postipate and modders original for permission!!

 

Good job !, cars handle much better than the rFactor version of this mod, question, is there a way to decrease the chassis lurching upward in cockpit view after each shift ?

 

Yes there is, but I have to do it.

Could you give video of your problem so i know it's not bigger than on my rFactor2.

do you use automatic shifting or manual?

 

Don't think its a problem, I assume it's designed to to that, thought it may be a personal adjustment I could make

 

I dont know if can you adjust it. You could try to reduce "head movement" from settings. Most likely it wont help.

I will look into this thanks for feedback

 

Do you have a time frame for when this mod will be uploaded to Workshop? My internet is incredibly slow and while I'd love to get my mitts on this I'd rather not have to download it twice (I will if I must though ). Awesome work btw. Many thanks.

 

Download it now. Workshop wont come for long time (if never)

FIA seems to have problem with those F1 mods on steam

(just google what happend to automobiista

 

Wonderful! Thank you! I´ve waited for that, thought about of doing it myself.

 

If you ever want to convert any other mod just ask my help

Ps. There is permission on gp79 mod with updated graphics

 

FOM has rights to the F1 name and from seasons 1982-present, and only since very recently they have begun the cracking down (likely driven by current license holder). 1975 should not have a single shadow of problem. Even modern wouldn't necessarily have legal grounds, but it's all about court litigation fees.

 

Okey wow!

Do you have source for this info? Would love to read about this more.

Then I will most likely upload this to steam when my next release comes

 

Forgot to add to first post

Use full graphic settings on cars. These cars are very good for FPS
+
Cars looks way better like that!

 

PMing you

 

Thanks mate!

 

Thats fair enough. Am well aware of the Automobilista saga . Downloading. Thanks.
