Grand Prix World 1998: The Tyrell Challenge Index

-

With The Tyrell Challenge having, as of the writing of this particular post, 45 chapters, plus a fractional chapter in 1999 (Yes, there are fractional chapters), I decided that keeping it organized might have been a good idea. Decided to make an index, making it easier to find chapters. Index will be organized by in-game year. Let's go.

1998

  1. Let's do this again
  2. A deep look around the paddock
  3. A Rhythm is established
  4. Why can't it be 2003 already?
  5. The Small Advance
  6. The Era of Consistency
  7. Hidden Potential
  8. Risk v Reward
  9. Wrapped up fights
  10. Chart Party at Suzuka

2000

The Art of Setup Building, Part 1: The Baseline

Post number 1 of the blog, Jose21crisis here, hello all. I had a few projects in mind that I wanted to implement on my YouTube channel (well, one of the many versions of said channel), but considering my computer is effectively a potato with a bunch of wires with a monitor attached, that wasn't an option. So, I decided on this format, where I can be as through as I would like to be, in a format that's easier to create and edit. I know for a fact that video editing can take ages. I have a few ideas planned regarding F1 Challenge '99-'02, one of the best F1 games ever made and effectively the grandfather of other sims such as rFactor and Automobilista, as well as Grand Prix World, an F1 manager masterpiece made by Microprose, of Grand Prix 4 fame. The first project planned was me taking a stab at something that's been done again and again. The art, you could call it black magic, of making setups. This one in particular is focused on F1 Challenge '99-'02, hopef...

The Art of Setup Building, Part 2: Your best friends

The tires, temperatures, pressures and alignments. You might have heard, a lot of times in fact, that the tires are the only part of the car that's in contact with the road. While not always true (though you generally don't want the floor touching the ground too often), what is true is that adjustment to the tires can net so much more time than nearly any other adjustment you can make. Before we get into that, however, we need to look at the rubbers themselves first. The compound In F1C, the tire suppliers give us 2 different compounds of dry weather tires, and 3 different configurations of wet weather tire. For now, we'll focus on the dry tires and leave the wets to the Rain Adjustment section. Naturally, the compounds can change when mods come into play. The two tire compounds we have are the Soft tires and the Hard tires. Soft tires provide excellent grip and are quick to heat up, which makes them ideal on races in cold weather. However, their wear rate is high and they ...

The Art of Setup Building, Part 10: Need for Diff. Speed

Differential, objective and adjustments We arguably have the car setup up perfectly fine for us. Despite us having the car setup to our likening, maybe there's some behaviors that we want to reel in, but if we adjust the suspension we will screw up the rest of the car. That's what adjusting the Differential can do for us. Now, I could talk about why we need differentials in the first place, but that's for later. I will explain the technical details (That I know) later. First, here's something I want you to see. A differential set incorrectly allowing power to disappear when exiting the pit stall ... ... exiting a slow speed corners ... ... and a high speed corner. This needs to be controlled. See what happens when the Differential isn't set up properly? This is only one of the side effects. We'll cover the other ones. First, let's see the settings. We have 4 settings to adjust. Sounds like a lot, but one of them assists the others. That said, we need to tal...
