GP4: F1 2024 v1.3 update

It's another race weekend, and there's another driver change. That means there's a new update to the 2024 mod. But there's much more to this update than simply a driver change, there's quite a lot of new things too. Let's dig into what's new in this update.



In the last update, I shared that there's quite a lot of work to do to add a mid-season driver change. However, this time, it's additionally complicated, because Ollie Bearman has previously raced for Ferrari this season, but is now in a Haas, so I had to get a little more creative in my CSM coding.

  • New Bearman helmet skin by fongu
  • Updated Haas texture by fongu
  • Assigned Bearman's Bell helmet shape variation by Jvinu
  • Updated Performance files
  • Added updated Haas picture to GPxPatch
  • Added updated Haas Team Art




There are also a couple of bug fixes in this update. 
  • Some driver flags were not appearing properly on the TV graphics. 
  • Mercedes drivers were in the wrong cars in the last update.
  • Alpine shape fix by Excalibur.
I'm grateful to Paulo Derpich Nunes for getting in touch and providing some updates that he has done (with help from gap177 on the cockpits). This is quite a big update, and has considerably increased the mod size, especially with so many 4k high resolution textures. However, we love to see the track to track changes. 
  • Updated cockpit textures, including track specific variants.
  • Red Bull additional liveries - at the moment, they are only for my RB20 car, not the Isaint updated one. 
  • Alpine additional liveries
  • Williams additional liveries
