GP4: 1993 Mod Version 2.01 updated by KerleyF1 & fongu

Thank you for downloading, enjoying and giving such good feedback on the new 1993 mod released earlier this year. My friend, KerleyF1 (grandprixmods.blogspot.com) and I have enjoyed working on this mod together.

Much of the credits for this mod goes to the Öggo, who worked on every car (except one) and given us the tools to modify this game more and more, and has worked on the whole helmet set, both shapes and textures (except one - my contribution is so small compared to this masterpiece).

Now with Öggo's recent release of his Bieffe helmet shapes pack, we now have an updated helmet for the one driver who used a Bieffe helmet in 1993, Gerhard Berger. It's really fantastic to witness the attention to detail and the skill to recreate it, and the true to life variety of helmet shapes just adds to the immersion of the mod in this game.

But this small update is not just one helmet, but thanks to rracunis for getting in touch and pointing out some issues with the internal cockpit. I do want to thank him for his contribution to the improved warning lights on the dash. I have now fixed the carbon in the cockpits, they are now much less shiny and also do not flicker.

So just a small update, but that's not to mention the number of hours that has gone into making them. I'm really grateful to work with so many different people in the community.

GP4: ICYMI - Summer 2025


It's been a little while since I have posted on my blog. Inactivity on the blog does not mean that I am not busy working on projects, but mods takes time and dedication and sometimes real life has to take precedence.  

You may have noticed, this site has been going through a bit of a rebrand, hopefully to make things easier to see and find. This is not least because there's close to 100GB of downloads now available on this blog.

However, that has not stopped the community from being busy and sharing their works. 

There's been a flurry of activity on the 2025 cars, and Excalibur and Isaint have been doing a great job in bringing the entire grid to Grand Prix 4.
