REQUIREMENTS:
1/ Full install of Grand Prix Legends (GPL) on your PC updated to
version 1.2.0.2
2/ Carsound patch applied to your GPL install (to create the seven
different team sounds)
3/ GEM+ 2.5.9 (required)
GEM+ will create the mod physics from your original installed gpl exe
and must be used with this mod.
INTRO:
Thunder Cars mod for GPL is an open wheeled series with early 70's feel.
All cars use a 426cu V8, slick tyres and wings.
This is not a representation of F1, we see the mod as a fictional early
"CART" type series
as these cars work well at ovals and at the wider and longer road
tracks.
Compared to gpl67 you have a BIG HEAVY car here
so the tracks will suddenly seem allot narrower and shorter,
but the physics will allow you to combat this (with some practice).
Offline you have an all star line up in their winning liveries to
compete against.
Online the fun really begins, you will enjoy the close racing the
Thunder Cars physics allows.
Your online car will be selected from one of the many fantastic
liveries (over 50) included in the carset.
Each time you race online for some time you will see cars you have
never seen before as there are so many,
every race full of colour and action.
Have fun!
Known Bugs: at some tracks (mostly with short straights) the AI will
not be as fast on the straights as the player car.
