Heatwave Racing - Flash Game Recreation Carset

[Lumbud84]

I've made enough progress on this for it to be worthy of a thread, I think.
Anyone remember all those Nascar-themed Flash games that were online before Adobe Flash Player was shut down? I do!
Heatwave Racing was my favorite Nascar Flash game for a while, and recently I decided to look back on it! After messing around for a couple hours, I was able to rip the vehicle textures out of the game, and I'm now able to use those as references.
I've decided to recreate the 8 cars present in the game for NR2003, using the NextGen4 mod (with the wing), Lefty's version of BR_MCLM!

Car 1/8:
#12 - Hot Tamales
As the game was presented by Hot Tamales, the game features Kerry Earnhardt's Hot Tamales scheme which he drove in the 2002 Busch Series.


Car 2/8:
#18 - Alpha Racing


Car 3/8:
#5 - Synthetic


Currently 3 out of the 8 cars are complete, and the full set will be posted to the Downloads page one it's finished!
I hope you all will enjoy this nostalgia trip as much as I do :>

Great to see someone undertaking such a carset. Everything looks great and I'm excited to see the rest of the cars. I do wonder, do you have plans to do any other flash racing games, such as the 200mph series?

Actually, yes! I do hope to do a few other flash racing game carsets in the future, including the 200mph series! I'm also open to suggestions in case there's any I've missed!

Wow, I distinctly remember playing this so many years ago on Miniclip I believe, so glad to see somebody recreating the cars. Good luck!

Been pretty bust lately these past few days, haven't been able to get much done. Here's the easiest car in the pack in the meantime.
