"1992 Trans Am Car Set README"
About the set...
This is not intended to be a complete representation of ALL the cars or drivers that appeared in the Trans Am in 1992.
The set would be over 60 cars and would be largely a work of fiction in that many cars mentioned by the various sources
used to develop this set have no source photographs to paint cars from. So because of that, it was a matter of finding what was available.
Many, many hours were spent seeking as much reference material as possible for this set, and several reference sites were accessed to
create the roster used. Not all cars that did have photographs were included in this set. Again, it's a matter of making some decisions
about what is a "good" representation of the 1992 Trans Am. Since the NR2003 Platform is limited to 43 cars, we have to subtract one
from that for a human driver so we have a maximum of 42 "ai" cars. That number can drop depending on which track you are running so it
was decided that 48 cars was where the set would end up. In 1992, we have some driver swaps, so those cars are included in the set, of course the game will select which car with the same numbers it will use so you'll have to select them yourself if you want Robby Gordon in the #15 instead of Willy T Ribbs, as an example. Only the #15 and #75 have duplicates as I tried to avoid this situation as much as possible.
NOTE: You will find three additional cars in the set that are fictional. The #46 Mustang, which is my personal driver. The #47 Daytona, and #63 Mustang are cars I did as "personal drivers" for some great friends of my work.This is just my way of saying thanks for your kind words and constant encouragement via words, posts, and actions which I shall not go into here. THANKS!

Ratings...
The ratings were developed by creating a matrix based on the results of all 15 of the races on the schedule. This is not intended to be a "perfect"
rating of each driver but more an attempt to give the field an approximation of the 1992 Trans Am fields and give a human driver an
opportunity to "put themselves into" that era and that series. The cars obviously do not have perfect physics to simulate the 1992 Trans Am cars this
set is intended to represent, but is intended to be more a "fun" way to drive the 1992 Trans Am Series.
Installation...
Simply unpack the rar file into your "papyrus/nr2003/series/asa90_cts/cars" folder, choose a car from the set or outside the set and drive!
Note that the car set is using the "cts" physics, so your version of the ASA90 mod must also use that physics.
If you want to convert to another physics set up, you have my blessings.
Disclaimer...
I claim no copyright to these cars, the mod, the game or anything in this file. I painted each and every car included. Many of the decals
(but not all by any means) I created. I used noones numbers or number sets, logos or paint bases. It all came from my own hand via my computer and Corel PSP x5 for the most part. Some PS CS6 work was also done.

The one exception is the #0's "BAJA" logo which was graciously made by "SAGE" and I deeply appreciate that he took the time to do that logo. THANKS!
================================================================================================================================================
PLEASE NOTE: The set is built on the "cts" physics version of the ASA90 mod by DMR.
================================================================================================================================================
In 1992 the SCCA Trans Am Series was sponsored by Tide. The series ran an eleven race schedule:
1-Long Beach- 4/11/92  (45 Laps/Winner: Robby Gordon #15 Mustang)
2-Detroit (Belle Isle)-  6/2/92  (48 Laps/Winner: Tommy Archer #3 Daytona)
3-Portland- 6/20/92  (52 Laps/Winner: Paul Gentilozzi #75 Camaro)
4-Mosport-  6/28/92  (40 Laps/Winner: Scott Sharp #33 Camaro)
5-Des Moines- 7/12/92  (50 Laps/Winner: Scott Sharp #33 Camaro)
6-Lime Rock- 7/25/92  (66 Laps/Winner: Ron Fellows #4 Mustang)
7-Watkins Glen- 8/8/92 (42 Laps/Winner: Jack Balwin #25 Camaro)
8-Trois Rivieres- 8/16/92 (50 Laps/Winner: Jack Baldwin #25 Camaro)
9-Road America- 8/22/92 (25 Laps/Winner: Ron Fellows #4 Mustang)
10-Mid-Ohio- 9/12/92 (45 Laps/Winner: Gregg Pickett #6 Camaro)
11-Sears Point- 10/4/92 (40 Laps/Winner: Darin Brassfield #74 Camaro)
Jack Baldwin won the championship in the #25 Hot Wheels Camaro in a hotly contested season battle with his team mate Scott Sharp who drove the #33 Duracell Camaro. An interesting thing to note is that among the other winners in '92 were Paul Gentilozzi and Darin Brassfield who both drove the #75 74 Hunting Ranch Camaro with Brassfield filling in at the last race at Sears Point.

This set comes with my permission to convert to any format, or any game or mod or whatever. Consider giving credit, but in the end you must live with yourself.
Thanks and enjoy!
