For those of you with EA's F1 2002 (or those thinking about getting it), check out Version 2 of the highly rated 80's-era F1 Turbo mod. It's an free, downloadable add-on (just like the sportscar mod, the upcoming ChampCar mod, etc...). I never installed the original Turbo mod (not enuf time to play with it), but it was given rave reviews from everyone who tried it.

You can get more info at:

Warlock!, do you know if these cars have different driving dynamics than the cars that come with the original game?

Yup... Apparently they tweaked the **** out of the physics to the original. New tire grip, downforce, engine power (even turbo-lag)... the whole schmear.

The turbo lag on the real cars was insane. You had to hit the gas going into the turn so the power came on at the exit.

I might buy this just for the opportunity to punt Cheever into the harbor at Monaco.

Sorry, man... Evidently I forgot to tell you that it hasn't been released yet. I'm guessin it'll be within a month, knowing the way these guys work on a project (i.e., all their spare time devoted to this mod).
