The 2024 mod was only released in August, and two months later, we're already on the fifth update pack. That's in large part due to real life driver changes, but also thanks the great community pumping out quality updates to add to this mod.
Thanks to Excalibur for his most recent update to the VCARB car, with Liam Lawson's number 30 skin now added to the mod.

I've now completed the 2024 version of Liam Lawson's helmet, designed by MDM Designs and painted by BS helmets onto the Bell helmet with a solid wing. I've also added the team-art for Liam.

I've also taken the liberty to add this special helmet of Franco Colapinto from the Mexican GP (and used at the Brazilian GP too). He's racing with a tribute to Carlos Reutemann's classic helmet design. I don't know about you, but it took me a while to realise the FC on the front of his helmet stands for Franco Colapinto, not some other franchise.

Ollie Bearman once again stood in for Kevin Magnussen (this time through illness) and he wore his alternative Haas helmet. This is basically red instead of yellow, a different colour visor and slight detail changes.

As promised, my McLaren MCL38 has now been added to the mod. In the mod, there is a new selection for which McLaren you want to use, mine or Isaint's. Below is a screenshot of my version of the Monaco GP livery, the Senna tribute.

Thanks to Paulo Derpich and his epic work to complete all the sponsor changes on my McLaren. There's also more track specific liveries, including the Singapore GP Mercedes, VCARB liveries and the latest Williams liveries, including the yellow engine cover. There's also some cockpit updates to the Mercedes, VCARB and McLaren.
Super job!
There was a request to add a new weather option, 33% chance of rain, so that's been added to this 2024 mod.
Other than a missing CSM preview picture, some performance file updates and fixes, fixed alpha channels on the Red Bull, that's all for this update.
Oh wait you want more?
I'm sharing with you my all new version of the Sauber. It's a bit less toxic green than Isaint's version, and comes with Stake and Kick livery variants.
It's a shame the livery is so vile because I quite like the shape. Well, at least the car is pretty much confined to the rear of the grid and mostly out of sight. Anyway, the car gets its exclusive release as part of this mod update, but I do plan on releasing the car separately soon.

Well that's really it for this update. The file size suggests there's more in this mod update than there are in some mods.
