Hey guys, I figured I'd introduce myself here to those who may not know me. I've been part of the NR2003 community since 2005, after stumbling across a copy of the game on a Target clearance shelf for $7.99. I had been painting on the original NASCAR Heat PC game and was excited to check out this still relatively new sim. Since then I have created fictional paints, mod texture updates, on-track effects updates including smoke and sun glare, and am probably most known for my Honda fictional templates. I was thrilled when SRD decided to make the 4th model a generic design and contributed the 2020 Accord template to the mod. I also collaborated with Burnout3D on a hyper-realistic Goodyear Eagle tire texture that we're proud to see become the standard for not only the sim but presentation renders used by the pro NASCAR teams. As a graphic designer by trade this sim has been a great creative outlet, and find I probably spend more time tweaking and adding to the game than I do racing in it. I still see a lot of potential in this sim and look forward to many more years of making it look as good as it can. My website can be found in my signature below.

Your Honda fictional templates in the early days is what perpetuated me to incorporate more of my own. Which eventually led to my ICR mod where I included Honda as well. I thought you left the community by that time but glad you were able to see the Honda fictional templates continuing in NR2003 lol

That's awesome! I did step away for a bit from the sim as I had been trying out iRacing but my heart has always been with NR2003. The lack of things to tweak and improve myself in iRacing was a big drawback. Plus...no ability to add a Honda haha. And yes, always cool to see Hondas created by others. I have this crazy idea of an Xfinity carset of all real cars but instead of Chevy, Ford, Toyota they're *all* Hondas. Probably never going to have the time for that but it would be cool to see. I could always do just the Toyotas as sort of an alternate universe... We'll see!

Speaking of fictionals, one of my all time dreams would be for a mod of a fictional SUV series. I'm thinking Explorers, Blazers and 4Runners...and maybe a Pilot thrown in for the 4th make. A guy can dream haha.
