GP4: 2011 Ferrari 150º Italia - download

 

I proudly present to you my scratch made version of the 2011 Ferrari 150º Italia. This was a car I started from when the car was originally launched, way back in 2011. Ferrari brought some updates to the Spanish GP in Barcelona, and I updated my car shape to match. The project was a slow one, and eventually the Codemasters cars were being released and converted to GP4. I was pleased that when measuring my car up against the Codemasters car, there was good correlation of shapes, angles and proportions. 

At the time, I was winding down my GP4 activities, whilst completing some of the 1996 car shapes. In fact this was the first contemporary F1 car I had at attempted since 2008 (I did start a 2009 car, but that project was never finished). I took my time over this car, as many authors released their version of the car. The car was mapped but at the time I really only wanted to concentrate on shaping cars, so I released it prior to my hiatus to see if anyone would paint it. 

It's been nearly 11 years now, so I thought I'd come back to it. I did add some 3D bodylines and bolts similar to the method I've been using on my current contemporary cars and has under 35,000 polygons, which, again, is a similar standard to my 2022 models. 

Anyway, I hope you like it. 

After a strong end to the 2010 season, where Alonso predicted and delivered on a strong end to the season, Ferrari were hoping to build on a strong debut season with the Spaniard. Well it didn't, it managed only one victory at Silverstone and that was more because of a temporary ban on off-throttle blown diffusers before the ban was rescinded. That rule majorly hampered Red Bull, and Alonso made the most of it. The season didn't get off to a great start because the name F150 was disputed by Ford who have an iconic pick-up truck of the same name. Ferrari claimed it to be short hand for Ferrari 150º Italia and that was that. The car was a podium contender at best, and Alonso managed fourth place overall and Massa a distant sixth in the Drivers' Championship. 

The car is available to download with tweaker settings included in the read me. 

But what mod can you play it in? 

I hope to have more news for you on that front soon, but until then, here's the download link to this car.
