However, some fans of the game were not satisfied with the outdated graphics, teams, drivers and tracks of the original game. They decided to create mods that would update the game to match the current or past seasons of Formula One. One of the most popular mods is the 2009 F1 mod season with extensions, which is available as a .rar file that can be downloaded and installed on the game folder. This mod features the following changes:
The 20 drivers and 10 teams that competed in the 2009 Formula One World Championship, including Brawn GP, Red Bull Racing, McLaren, Ferrari, Toyota, BMW Sauber, Renault, Williams, Force India and Toro Rosso.
The 17 tracks that hosted the races in 2009, including Australia, Malaysia, China, Bahrain, Spain, Monaco, Turkey, Britain, Germany, Hungary, Europe (Valencia), Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Japan, Brazil and Abu Dhabi.
The official FIA rules and regulations of 2009, such as the introduction of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), DRS (Drag Reduction System) and slick tyres.
The updated graphics and sounds of the cars, helmets, liveries, logos and videos.
The option to choose between English and Spanish languages for the game interface and commentary.
The inclusion of some extra features such as a training mode, a teammate challenge mode, a domination mode and a custom championship mode.
The possibility to change the date of the game to match the 2009 season using a modified Assembly CSharp.dll file.
To install this mod, the player needs to have a copy of F1 Manager 2001 installed on their computer. Then they need to download the .rar file from [Steam Workshop] or [RaceDepartment] and extract it to their game folder. They also need to follow the instructions in the readme.txt file in the EXTRAS folder of the mod to make sure everything works properly. After that, they can launch the game and enjoy the 2009 season of Formula One in F1 Manager 2001.
This mod is a great example of how fans can keep old games alive and relevant by creating new content and improving existing features. It also shows how passionate and creative some people are about Formula One and its history. If you are a fan of F1 Manager 2001 or Formula One in general, you should definitely give this mod a try and see how it compares to the original game.
