Modding has always been a huge part of the original Grand Prix game series, with talented modders crafting incredible vehicle skins for various Formula 1 seasons from the 1990s and early 2000s. Despite the limited skin resolutions—256 x 164 for Grand Prix 2 and 256 x 384 for Grand Prix 3—these creators achieved impressive detail with just a few pixels.
Since 2021, I've been working to create extra season packages for the Grand Prix Evolution mod, featuring vehicle skins originally made by the Grand Prix games community so that their great creations can continue be enjoyed by players with modern sims.
Now, after three years of making, you can relive every Formula 1 season from 1990 to 2004, thanks to the exceptional skins crafted by these dedicated fans. To further enhance the experience, I've also created new car shapes and textures for GP3 cars to match each season's unique car designs better. All seasons have calibrated driver performances, correct tire brands and textures, and tobacco skins.
To install the extra seasons, simply select your version, download, and extract the files into the correct folder.
All credit for the vehicle skins goes to the original creators:

Ralph Hummerich (1996 [GP3], 2000, 2001, 2002)
Jan Frischkorn (1997, 1998, 1999)
Momo Ichigo (1997)
