I love 50s and 60s F1. I wish I was alive back then to see it in person. The existence of simracing is such a blessing for weird people like me who prefer older eras of F1 over modern F1.
They stopped racing open wheelers at Bathurst after a car go airborne over the second hump on Conrod and landed on the crest of the third hump and actually passed a car in the air.
Grand Prix Legends was a legendary Simulation, that gave me some good memories 🙂 Thank you for Sharing the mod, I have no Idea someone would name it " Grand Prix Legends "
I think I still have the 4 pages spread that was done on the track after finished it.. The article was in "V8 Racing" magazine. A real world motor racing magazine..
Or you could ask Paul Radisitch, Russel Ingall, Dick johnson and many more Real world V8 Supercars Drivers from the 2001 season.. they did a lot of testing for me at the hypestim centre in Melbourne.. Below is an extract from the txt file I included in the track when I released it in 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I have changed the name of this track. It's up to you if you wish to remove the "Pre-Release" version completely if have it. As this is not an update, it is a new replacement track !!

I'd also like to thank the others who I've not menction here. This is the Mt Panorama, Bathurst track. The F1 Australian GP was last held here in 1958 and has since been used for many events such as The armstrong 500, The Gallihar 500, The Hardie Ferodo 500, and after constant upgrading the Current FAI1000. Other events are also held here every Easter. You can see the bikes hit the track and later in year the 2litre beast climb the mountain. My track is intended to represent 1966-67 years. There were pit garages, right fromt he start. and a pit wall was added in the late 60's to early 70's but there is none in my representation for GPL. The most interesting part of the track is the section known as The Esses, this includes one particular corner known as The Dipper. As soon as you drive the track you'll know which corner that is its a hard left hander that drop 10ft in the 15ft it travels. The track was never intended to be a fast fun track it was indeed made as hard as I could get it with out leaving the spec's of the year. But ...... What I ended up with was in my opinion the most exciting track I've driven on in GPL. I've had many comments from my TEsters saying that its a very racy circuit.

Some facts from the real world about the most famous Lotus 49 driver:: JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was the Best of the Best. No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark. This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius...
He drove smoothly in an era where safety and grip basically doesn't exist, He was the only driver to win the Indy 500 and the Formula One World Championship in one year! Whenever he drove, he would be driving a Lotus.
Quite a delusional comment i see, not because its not true, because you sound like a die hard Clark fan. If we talk about classic drivers you cant forget the great Juan Manuel Fangio
@@pressstart1490 You are absolutely right and there were other very great drivers. But for Fangio and Senna - for example - Jim Clark was the Greatest ever, in their words "The Best of the Best". Fangio repeat that between 1965 and shortly before his death in 1995 countless times over 30 years....

90s F1 > modern
@@R9naldo das what am sayin
Every single era of F1 has been better than the last 10 or so years in my opinion, and I wasn't even alive for most of them.
We call us old souls but not all old times are great than moderns
I agree with everything you said
They stopped racing open wheelers at Bathurst after a car go airborne over the second hump on Conrod and landed on the crest of the third hump and actually passed a car in the air.
Thats incredible seeing all the old track and the old signs living in Australia I remember these
I love the mods for old cars and circuits in assetto corsa. All the danger but none of the death
That was basically my scalextric set when I was 8 , well in my head anyway. Came off the track more often though.
Grand Prix Legends was a legendary Simulation, that gave me some good memories 🙂
Thank you for Sharing the mod, I have no Idea someone would name it " Grand Prix Legends "
Awesome race, really enjoyed watching it
Thank you
Good driving in the Cooper!
Ah man the sounds, lovely stuff
Great to see my track being put to good use.
Umm think you will find that this actually my track I built it for GPL
Please. Give credit for the original creator..

I think I still have the 4 pages spread that was done on the track after finished it..

I hope this will support custom grids with other cars
Nice!
Maybe I'm underestimating the car, but I wonder if the front was really this grippy in real life.
does anyone have the track link? from the miscellaneous site no longer has the link
I was looking forward for real footage and not a bloody video game.
Maybe learn to use the search bar.
