This is a complete carset (343 cars*) for the Winston Cup 1983 Season; It is split into five (5) files for purposes of upload file-size posting (simply unzip and copy all the files into a single folder); Driver Ratings are compiled from actual statistics (Racing Reference); Rosters for each race of the 1983 season are included, and also the Daytona 500 Qualifying Races. *Note: I spent countless hours Google searching, and it was very difficult to find historical photos on some of the cars/drivers, so certain car files should be considered as "supposed schemes" to enable completion of the entire set. If anyone has better versions or reference photos of those cars, feel free to send them. I will paint corrected versions and replace them in the car-set.
This marks the first year for the popular Monte Carlo SS, with some teams still using the flat nose Monte Carlo (mostly at short tracks). This was also the first year for the aerodynamic body Ford Thunderbird; most Ford teams ran the new aero body T-Birds at speedways and super-speedways, but continued to run the '82 T-Birds at short tracks, road courses, & Pocono.
I have also included two versions** of fictional #30 Cabela's / SIG Sauer 1983 Monte Carlo SS to be used as the player car
(** one with fuel filler on left, for all oval tracks; one with fuel filler on right, for road courses)
ENJOY !!
