The Complete 1970s Mod - Open Driver Market Edition

Description
This mod contains every driver who attempted to qualify for a World Championship GP between 1970 and 1979 (as well as some who didn't, and some Easter eggs). Nearly 200 drivers in all.

Enjoy this complete rendition of the 1970s! How will your history change?

V1.2 Contains all the drivers who attempted to qualify for a World Championship Grand Prix in the 1970s. as well as historical designers.

Future versions will aim to include period appropriate chief mechanics.

This is the Open Driver Market version of the Mod.

The owner drivers have been removed (Brabham, Surtees & McLaren) and all teams are free to sign any available drivers provided they have the budget.

Enjoy and please review or make me aware of any bugs or errors!

Same issue as some others - all teams skipped Stewart and Rindt. Stewart for me seemed a bit too good, won every race with BRM in season 1. Really good other than that, but the top teams should be taking those two drivers in season 1

Same complaint as Rezmalac.. all teams skipped Stewart and Rindt. I also scooped up Rindt and rode him to wins as Williams.

It's a great mod, feels so much better playing with real names, so thank you for your work!

However I think it needs some balancing. In my first season strange things happened :)
Firstly, the AI teams skipped the two best drivers (Stewart and Rindt), maybe they are too expensive?
So I took Rindt, and won both championships... by a mile! Rindt was so fast, he took 10 poles, 10 wins and 10 fastest laps. Usually he won by 2 laps ahead of the 2nd driver.

I'm waiting on the next patch before I look to update the 1970 and 1980s mod. Then it'll be 1990 next followed by the 60s

When can we expect future major updates for both the 1970 and 1980 mods?

ok thanks, I know he was around in 1978 at the Canadian Grand Prix

All the F1 drivers of the 1970s are included, so yes, Villeneuve is there though he isn't available from 1970, you'll have to wait for a while for him to turn up.

If you want him available from the get go, try my 1980s mod.

wondering if Gilles Villeneuve is included in the mod? Thanks for your response in advance
