Championship with more than 22 Cars. SOLUTION.

hello everybody!
Can anybody send me a tutorial for encrease the number of cars on start grid? Or anybody explain to me how exactly it works, please?
After great jobs of David Marques and all guys who cooperate with him( BIG THANKS TO ALL OF THEM)  I downloaded the carsets and find out, that in some of them are even 39 Cars. This is amazing!
I had an instruction in the favorites of my browser from a website about F1 Challenge, but this website does not exist anymore.

in the Mods of
1983 are 31 cars
1984 ..... 29 Cars
1985 ..... 29 Cars
1987 ..... 29 Cars
1988 ..... 31 Cars
1989 ..... 39 Cars
1990 ..... 35 Cars
1991 ..... 34 Cars
1992 ..... 32 Cars
1993 ..... 26 Cars

I can try to help you ... calmly. But I warn you that I can only play with 26 cars ... 25 cars plus mine!

thanks for your help. I will try it.

When I try to race more than 26 cars at some point in the championship the game closes ... however, once you learn the method, use as many cars as you want!

First of all start a championship ... if it's started, that's fine.

Look in the SAVE folder ... your name ... F1_1984.bch (or whatever) ... GAMEOPT_opponents = 21 ... type 22, GAMEOPT_opponents = 22

In the SAVE folder ... your name ... your name.plr ...
CURNT Opponents = "21"
PRACT Opponents = "21"
QUICK Opponents = "21"
GPRIX Opponents = "21"
CHAMP Opponents = "21" ...
type 22, CURNT Opponents = "22"
PRACT Opponents = "22"
QUICK Opponents = "22"
GPRIX Opponents = "22"
CHAMP Opponents = "22"

Again... Look in the SAVE folder... your name ... F1_1984.bch (or whatever)...
[PLAYER]
Name="YOU"
VehFile="SEASONDATA\VEHICLES\1984\MCLAREN\1984_MP4-3\1984_MCLAREN07.VEH"
RCDFile=""
SeasonPoints=0
PointsPosition=0
PolesTaken=0
OriginalGridPosition=21 (type 22)
CurrentGridPosition=21 (type 22)
ControlType=0
Active=1

Now comes the main...

Copy the whole last line...

[OPPONENT20]
Name="Johnny Cecotto"
VehFile="SEASONDATA\VEHICLES\1984\TOLEMAN\1984_TG184-B\1984_TOLEMAN20.VEH"
RCDFile=""
SeasonPoints=0
PointsPosition=0
PolesTaken=0
OriginalGridPosition=20
CurrentGridPosition=20
ControlType=1
Active=1

type 21...

[OPPONENT21]
Name="Johnny Cecotto"
VehFile="SEASONDATA\VEHICLES\1984\TOLEMAN\1984_TG184-B\1984_TOLEMAN20.VEH"
RCDFile=""
SeasonPoints=0
PointsPosition=0
PolesTaken=0
OriginalGridPosition=21
CurrentGridPosition=21
ControlType=1
Active=1

Replace this pilot data with the pilot data you want to add (An example)

[OPPONENT21]
Name="John Watson"
VehFile="SEASONDATA\VEHICLES\1984\McLarem\1984_MP4-3\1984_McLaren09.VEH"
RCDFile=""
SeasonPoints=0
PointsPosition=0
PolesTaken=0
OriginalGridPosition=21
CurrentGridPosition=21
ControlType=1
Active=1

You understood ? It's a way ...
VehFile=
SEASONDATA
VEHICLES
1984 (sometimes there is no such folder)
McLarem
1984_MP4-3
1984_McLaren44.VEH (this is the car)

I forgot to warn you ...
Do this with a COPY of the game ... to test ...

Open the archives of cars ... always open with Notepad.exe

Vehicles / 1984 / McLaren / 1984_MP4-2 / 1984_McLaren07.veh

Search...

Classes="FormulaOne, OpenWheel, 1984"

It may be written: Not AI

Classes="FormulaOne, OpenWheel, Not AI"

As far as I know, only cars written with the 1984 "keyword" can participate in the normal championship...
Of course, with this method you choose the pilots !
