The basic premise of BFGP is that you can play a variety of roles all centering around the main event of a Grand Prix style race.

You could be a driver partisipating in the race or you may choose to be pit crew with your tools and spanner ready. You could go for a marshall and be responsible for starting the race or driving the pace car in the car of a rolling start. or alternatively be a cameraman flying the chopper and filming the race. One for those with the hardware and thel likes of Fraps installed to record the video footage.

The Mod has a new game mode called Grand Prix where by there are 2 pits, one for International Drivers and one for British drivers. when racing round the circuits theres a lap counter that records your laps. Your completed laps is shown where your score would normally appear. Each round of the game will be on a timelimit and the winner is the person with the most laps in that time, i.e they were the fastest round the track.

To control the start lights you just need to walk up to it and press e to enter it. then press 1 to goto positon 1. using the up and down arrow keys turns the lights off and on. and basically you go from position 1 to 6 turning each set of lights on to start the race. the camera view for the startline is such so that you can see what the lights are doing.
