this mod was uploaded in NoGripRacing, but since it was considered as not legitimate F1C rip, it was taken down. Fortunately, the guys at f1classic forums took care of it, edited the mod and they slowly turning it into a good mod

This version I used has changed engine, tyre and grip values for cars (as per the 1996 season). Also, I used the Renault V10 sounds from the F1SR 1994 mod, since the default sounds are those of the 2008 BMW Sauber V8
