How to Mod an F1 Challenge

"F1 Challenge '99-'02" is a PC racing game based on the four seasons of Formula One racing between 1999 and 2002. It was a cutting-edge racing simulator for its time and remains popular today due to the number of user-built modifications that add new tracks, new cars and new racing series to an already extensive game. The modifications include previous Formula 1 seasons, the European Touring Car Championship, the FIA GT Series and several other support series with new types of cars.
