'a Cursa: la mitica Targa Florio
Questa è una notizia fuori dal comune per questa home page, ma merita più attenzione di tutte le altre probabilmente. Vi segnaliamo infatti un libro, un bellissimo romanzo scritto da Giuseppe Pitrone: 'a Cursa Tormento ed estasi di un pilota alla Targa Florio, saprà rapirvi sin dalle prime pagine, per portarvi nel glorioso passato della mitica corsa siciliana. Una lettura da non perdere per giovani e non più giovani e per tutti quelli che già sono rimasti estasiati dai racconti di Sigfried sul forum.

Grand Prix 1979 for Rfactor by Grand Prix Classics Ver. 2.01
**IMPORTANT** If you have either v1.0 or v1.1 installed, it´s recommended to get rid of it first before installing v2.0. To prevent any eventual problem, it is important to delete the following folders and files:
//// WHAT`S NEW IN V2.0: -- Introduces the LEAGUE EDITION, along with the previous HISTORICAL and UNRESTRICTED versions of the mod. The LEAGUE EDITION aims to provide better functionality for leagues, having every car model working independently within each team bracket, so that is no longer necessary to go through the upgrade and skins menus to pick a different chassis. The LEAGUE EDITION also allows for more variety in offline races, as the AI can run all the models and their variations in any given race.
-- Several small graphical fixes and refinements; -- Optimized LODs for better FPS (thanks to TRELLET.NET); -- Improved collision body and feelers to include wheels and wings (thanks to TRELLET.NET); -- Fixed spinner bugs (thanks to Allitnil); -- Fittipaldi F5A made available; -- Updated Arrows A2 cockpit; -- Fixed Renault mirrors; -- New pace car (78 porsche 911); -- Extensively revamped tyre physics; -- New individual suspension models for each chassis; -- Adjusted aero for more realistic behavior; -- Adjusted engines heating, cooling and wear; -- Adjusted brake properties; -- Extensive callibration to AI behavior.
**SHIFTER UPGRADE REDUX** In light of rfactor´s continuous unresolved gear shifting issues, we´ve decided to partially reintroduce the shifter upgrade with lower delays for the gated option. The chosen compromise is: HISTORICAL, being the recommended option for offline play, has the shifter ugprade with lower delays for gated shifting; same for the LEAGUE EDITION, taking into consideration the possibility for league admins to police its suitable use among its members via replay; UNRESTRICTED remains with standard shifting delays for both options, allowing an alternative to keep a level playing field in open servers and leagues that prefer to have it that way. Whilst certainly others would prefer to have a different compromise or even not compromise it at all, we ask everyone to understand that until this limitation with Rfactor is resolved, the best we can do is to provide something for everyone, instead of everything for someone.
//// NOTES: In light of the physics developments, old setups will no longer work. If running a championship season using HISTORICAL, make sure to come back to the menu screen after each round, otherwise Rfactor will load the same models from the previous race (the ferrari won´t upgrade from the T3 to the T4 in between Interlagos and Kyalami for example).
PATCH v2.01 This update cause online mismatches with older versions, and it is not compatible with seasons started with previous versions, so if this is your case, finish the season before apply the update. There is a small batch file dropped in the game folder by the installer called clean.bat, if it hurt it can be removed manually at the end of installation.
FIXES: changed the name of the league_ed rfm because its name was too long, causing errors and mismatches. changed the track names inside the rfm for all versions. fixed a problem with helmets in the league_ed. fixed a problem with sounds when all cars/all tracks is used with all versions. fixed Fittipaldi problems with all versions changed the Hockenheim track fixed a bug at Dijon aiw fixed a bug on Silverstone track aiw fixed a minor gfx bug at Monza
