about 13 MB free diskspace in your GP3 season 2000-directory.
installation of GPxPatch v2.21+ (to run the carset)

What it does:

What it does not:

  • Together with GPxPatch 2.21+ this set provides single carsets performance-data and driver/team-name data for each track with only one installation. That means you don't have to install a new carset when you want to enter a "non-tobacco"-track. You just select the track you want to drive on and GPxPatch loads the right cars and data for this track automatically. The performance data should be very close to the real season 2002 qualifying and race-results so you can play your part in the current Formula 1 season.
  • It DOES support common championship seasons with GP3's championship mode. For the limitations in using championship-season-mode please refer to the FAQs.
  • It supports "Advanced Performance", that means that it comes with a special physicsfile (rh2002.g3p) and with a special CC-Setup-file (rh2002.gcc). This makes it possible to reach
  • season 2002 top-speeds, laptimes, BHP and rpm for a more realistic playing.
  • When you modify the team and/or the driver name you want to drive in the gp3 driver-menu, then this will have NO effect. Because all this data is loaded with the track, the game will overwrite all your settings in the driver menu. Driver menu is no longer connected with the ingame.
  • It does not provide the track order of 2002 (and you should NOT use GPxTrack to get the right order!!!).
  • It does not include team or menu-arts. So you will not have 2002 driver-pictures in the driver-menu and you will not have the right cars on starting-grid screen. (You can download & install fitting menu arts & starting-grid cars in a seperate package)

PLEASE do NOT send us a email, if you have download trouble - the files are there - but it might be, that they are tough to get.
