F1virtual statement on sales of GP4 mods and add-ons

Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4 has now surpassed 20 years from its initial launch, yet mods and add-ons keep being published to this day, such as those we share here at F1virtual. While most of the community is happy to share their modifications free of charge, it is not rare to find those works for sale under various means.

It is widely known that Grand Prix 4 is not an easy game to customize by modern standards, and buying ready-to-play packages can seem attractive to some users. However, those packages are often compiled without consent from the original authors of each individual modification (car, skin, track, etc.) and frequently those individual items are maliciously altered in order to hide the fact that the seller is not the author and that there is no such consent.

We at F1virtual are aware that some add-on packages available for sale include tracks freely available at our website, modified or not. We strongly discourage buying such packages. F1virtual does not authorize the sale of its works in any form, modified or not; and F1virtual is not associated in any way with people who sell those packages, nor receives any share of profit from the sales.

Our work at F1virtual is a work of pure passion for the game, done in the free time of each of the various people involved. It has always been and it will always be available for everyone free of charge, without any form of restriction.

Shanghai International Circuit 2017 - Beta Version

The streak of previously unreleased tracks continues, this time it's the 2017 version of Shanghai in its current Beta state.

The Chinese Grand Prix was supposed to return to the Formula One calendar this April, but current circumstances meant its slot went to Imola instead.

Expect another nearly-finished track to drop later this next month year, you can probably guess which one :)

Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit 2017+2022 - Beta Version

It's race week and is there a better time to release a new/old track? Or both at once?

First is the nearly-finished, previously unreleased 2017 Melbourne. Second is the same track... but with the 2022 layout!

This is an early effort to make the new layout available for the Time Trial League, and some things are very provisional considering we haven't seen the real track in action yet. Forgive us for the odd graphical bug or missing object in this version :)
