According to Wikipedia, the fount of all knowledge of course, it's GP4's 20th birthday today!
The longevity of this game is quite staggering, and whilst it's diminished in popularity from its hey day, it still attracts some of its most valuable contributors. Whilst some have departed, many can't help but return. Whether you enjoy playing the game, watching races, playing your favourite seasons recreated to incredible detail, time trialling, offline leagues or youtube content creation, this game continues to live on. The influence, nostalgia, and content and legacy of this game continues to influence more modern games to this day, a testament to the committed users and modders of Geoff Crammond's game.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, it seems like the perfect time to launch the 4th version of the 1994 Mod.
Much has been written about this mod already, so I won't repeat myself here, but it brings me great joy to have the GP2 sub-mod included in this release.
The only thing to say is that this is not the finished product, there's things in there that I wish were better, and there's more WIP content, but time has defeated me. Having said that, the mod is now over 7GB big, and comes in 5 updates. The Mod will install a new instance of the 1994 Mod using CSM by Zaz, so you can still keep v3.0 and earlier if you wished. I also recommend that you use the 1994 trackpack by Cleberpister and Plodekk.
I'm indebted to the many authors who have been working on 1994 content for well over a decade.
