Am looking for a good F1 racer on the PC.

But has none have been released for a while, which one plays the best yet also has the best upto date mods for team rosters, cars, tracks etc?

Any links to the mods appreciated.

Am currently looking at F1 Challenge 99-02, rFactor or Grand Prix 4.

Are these any good?

Which one has the best mods?

Will be playing for F1 racing only so not fussed about other reatures of rFactor but does it make for a good F1 sim?

Also, do any of these have formation Laps?
 
GP4 is great, i must dust it off & have another go. It did have great mod support, i'm not sure of the current state of mods.
 
yep gp4 for me also, the mods are fantastic, theres a bloke on here that has a great site, but ive reformated PC and dont have addy :(
 
This one maybe ?

http://gp4db.com/

Awsome game gp4, bit of a pain to get going but with those mods and CSM/TSM its a breeze and awsome to play. Everything you need is on that site.

1991 mod just been released too :D
 
I've just installed GP4 but it won't load. It says I need to install Direct X 8.1 before playing. I've already got Direct X 9 installed so is there a way around this??

Try creating a shortcut to the gp4 exe in the game folder. The default shortcut is to the launch exe. Mine did the same and this is how i fixed it.
 
Theres Grand Prix Legends. With a large community still with some big mods to have f1 good stuff in.

Theres toca 3 and 2 with f1 stuff in.
 
GP4 is brilliant, aint played it for donkey's, i remember when i tried it on my x1800 maxed everything with 6xAA/16xAF it was the full 60fps. :D

I used to get the updates from here http://ricardolampert.drivingitalia.net/, but its closed at the mo as its having a revamp, but worth checking back to see when its up again, i got tracks, car liverys the lot from there. :)

Although that site linked to by Mad_Jay looks a cracker as well, may dig this out again now, you can't beat GP4, shame he can't do anymore. :(

I'm not all that happy with how Toca does F1, but nonetheless, toca 3 is decent.
