Nice one!

This might be the mod that tears me away from iRacing. I have been REALLY looking forward to this for ages.

Why do you have to pick a weekend where I am going to be really busy?!?

Guess I should see what tracks from the 98 season are available.

Its pretty depressing comparing CART as it was then to what the IRL is now. IRL needs a major revamp.
