    Download zip file (33MB)

    Extract the files to a folder named "don37" and add the following to the season.ini (where XX is the event number):

    [EventXX]
    name=Donington Grand Prix 1937
    shortname=Donington GP
    trackDirectory=don37
    numberOfLaps=126
    day=2
    month=10
    startingGrid=2

    I think there's a lot of unused rubbish in the zip (hence the size). I tried to remove most of it but I've forgotten which files are needed and which aren't. :idunno:

    I'll post updates here from time to time.

    NOTES:
    It's beta, so obviously incomplete and a bit of a mess in places. If you find any major problems (e.g track won't load, CTD) please let me know; other minor issues I'm probably already aware of so no need to remind of them...
    There is AI but it's poor - I only made it to test frame-rate during a race... which is also poor. :rolleyes: Probably best to stick to hot-lapping for the time being.

    And finally, please do not use any of the files (3dos, mips, srbs, etc.) while the track is in the beta stage.

    Serves you right  :P an M8F demo run on the 73rd Anniversary of the '37 race indeed (nice one Richard). You would have set half the place on fire.

      This is a beta :shock:  Fantastic. The sun shining through the trees is an excellent effect.
      I can't wait to get my hands on the finished product, we have a lot to look forward to in GPL world at the moment.

        In ather words Great just Great.
        Oh the light, dont go in to the light!!!
        You will get killed by the fence  :lol:

        Thanks.
