Microprose Formula 1 Grand Prix (unofficial update for 1995 season)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

.HEL and .CAR files (c) 1995 Richard Mundell. These data files may
be stored and distributed on condition that any person using or
distributing these files must eMail the author (so I can keep track
of distribution) at 'r.mundell@uea.ac.uk'.

README.TXT is this file.

GPEDITOR.* is the T.Kellaway's Windows based F1GP editor, needed
to update F1GP.

The .HEL files are the closest helmet representations possible for the
drivers. Diagonal lines, of course, aren't possible, but I've tried to
get a good representation. I'm not happy with Mansell's helmet, perhaps
if you've got a better one you could eMail me.

The .CAR files are the closest car respresentations possible. Shame
the raised noses (and McLaren's extra wing) can't be shown. But, then
again, I'd put money on McLaren removing that wing...

The NAMES is a driver names file, saved by. Place this files in the
GPSAVES directory (it'll save you typing in the new names yourself).

The following table shows the car numbers for the drivers and their 
suggested horsepower and competence levels.

* Suzuki will take Brundle's place for Brazil, Argentina, Pacific
  and Japan GPs.

With these settings it changes F1GP from being a fairly easy game
to being a distinctly more challenging game, especially if you leave
your car without changing wing, gear or tyre settings.

Have fun and let me know if you've tweaked the settings to produce
a more challenging game.
