*** READ THE DESCRIPTION THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOD!!! ***
Hi guys,
This is the 2024 Decennial Anniversary Edition season mod for F1 2014 game. (Happy birthday 10 years old, F1 2014!)
This mod completely transforms the game, the vanilla version is horrendous, but now you'll have 1 of the best gaming experiences with this mod.
Special thanks to all the YouTubers showcasing my mod:
HOW TO INSTALL?
Always back up your original game files, this is really crucial in case you delete any key files by accident.
Please use a fresh install of F1 2014 and test that the original game is running properly.
METHOD 1: Drag and Drop
Adding files or folders to an existing folder from a RAR file.
For NEW users installing this MOD for the first time: You will need to create a NEW GAME file since now all teams and drivers have changed. Any previous saved game will be corrupt and will not work with this MOD.
WHAT'S IN THIS MOD?
CHANGELOGS:
CARS LIVERIES:
- Official 2024 liveries on 2023 chassis.

ALL PLAYABLE 30 TRACK MODELS:
24 tracks from the real 2024 calendar and 6 additional tracks (Hockenheim, Estoril, Turkey, Nurburgring, Delhi, Jerez).

And finally, huge thanks to @Petar Tasev for providing us with the amazing EGO Editor applications. Without them, it would be literally impossible to create ANY mods.
Some FAQ's:
THE GAME IS SO LAGGY. It is due to the converted models being so heavy. We've been trying to optimize them all in order to improve gameplay performance.
THE AI'S KEEP GOING OFF TRACK. You have to use every handling asset in this mod and not from any other mods.
You have to make sure you've read all the descriptions at this Overview page (HERE) and at the Updates tab.
Any problems, please post it on discussion topic. I'm not dealing with low rated stupid and toxic comments! I'm not dealing with comments not in English either.
